Any way to Cancel traffic aware cruise control?

Put your foot on the brake??? Push the stalk up? Read the manual?

Don’t turn it on?

I apologize—I see that I wasn’t descriptive enough. I don’t mean cancel, I mean revert to a more conventional cruise control where the driver is in charge. I have been on two road trips since delivery in August. I now have 7,000 miles on my Y, and I have experienced enough phantom braking and weird quirks that I do not trust using “cruise.” I’m not a fan of autopilot—especially at 75-80 mph interstate speeds. I’ve had two prior vehicles with adaptive CC that allows the driver to ratchet down the “awareness” level. I also have a Kia Niro EV that has it that way. Does that make sense?

What you’re looking for is not available with Tesla. You get TACC/AP only. It’s quite improved with the last few updates in terms of smoothness and reduced phantom slow
Downs.

Unfortunately, no. There is no conventional cruise control that just keeps the car at a constant speed without regard to surroundings. Sometimes I wish there were for instances where phantom braking and AEB kick in.

Thanks. I’m receiving another software update while typing. I get it that the whole community is sending the error data up for constant tweaking and improvement of the software. I would rather have someone else be the crash test dummy, I guess, and trust my own cognitive abilities to get me there safely.

It’s against modern car manufacturers/ government edicts to allow you to make such decisions anymore lol. You can “dial the distance down” that it operates at. I have mine set at minimum distance ….. it’s still not minimal enough for the UK though imo.

Sell the car?

And buy what? Any new car with cruise control now has “adaptive” cruise (in Europe & UK) anyway. The EU have apparently determined dumb cruise is bad whereas adaptive is good. Unfortunately UK despite Brexit will still follow this doctrine passed down from people who get chauffeured everywhere

Well, after yesterday’s software push cruise control has become a moot point. Today, I tried to engage it 3 separate times and each time my windshield wipers came on instead. Big Brother must be listening!
