LOL who are these idiots buying their crappy cars? You only have yourselves to blame. Elon is just playing you like a fiddle.

    I have Autopilot on mine (2020). I've asked them at the shop to remove it and reinstall basic cruise control and they refused, and I'm jealous. Autopilot suuuucks. I went on a 1200 mile road trip through North Texas. The whole time the car thought the speed limit was 55 when it was actually 75, and it refused to go any faster, so I had to drive for hours with no cruise control. It sucked.

    There is a setting in the menu where you can deactivate autopilot/FSD yourself and instead have a normal cruise control function.

    Yeah can use standard ACC but it still won't go over the speed limit. There's no "normal" cruise control.

    Maybe we are running different software versions then because on my Model 3 I have it set to cruise control instead of FSD and it definitely lets me go above the speed limit. I have it set to default to speed limit when activated but with the right thumb wheel I can adjust set speed up or down. I’ve included a screenshot of my settings in case it’s helpful to anyone.

    Once again "traffic aware cruise control" is still not the same thing as normal cruise control. I've had this car for 5 years, I know how to use it. It speeds up and slows down randomly and refuses to go above the speed limit at seemingly random times. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't, with no clear rhyme or reason.

    100 million Americans are screaming Elon/Tesla is a business to avoid at all costs. 100 million Americans are screaming that EVs are a vehicle type to avoid at all costs. 100 million Americans do not scream, do not post, and do not have any higher opinion about the cars beyond being cool, cheap to fuel, or quiet.
