Correct. But then maybe OP lives somewhere where roundabouts aren't very common so they never ran into that usecase.

I do, but I’m also an idiot. Worse, I’m an idiot that does not even own a Tesla. Maybe my temper in traffic got the better of me in that comment.

In my country there are a lot of roundabouts, but also crossroads do happen on a quite tight curve especially in smaller cities.

In the UK, which has loads of roundabouts, this issue is still common enough to notice, and derided.

> Roundabouts..

And crossroads that aren't at 90 degrees. Like, you know, old cities that weren't built on a grid.

The one time i test drove a Tesla I abandoned a left turn because all the roads involved were curvy enough I couldn't get the turn signal to stay on ;)

Mind, it was just a test drive. I guess that if I practiced for years I could master the wisdom of Tesla controls.

Some countries, e.g. Poland, require you to turn on your left indicator as soon as you enter a roundabout and as long as you stay in the roundabout. If you intend to exit, you have to switch from left indicator light to right indicator light. Switching happens while steering left. Poland has multi lane roundabouts where you are expected to stay on the innermost lane possible and only move to an outer lane when your exit is close.
