Yeah, I guess you’re right - I wan’t TACC to work like it’s designed to and as good as every other adaptive cruise control. Tesla’s ok with ‘fancy’ adaptive cruise that doesn’t work. Seriously, all that stuff is great, but it’s pointless if the system fails at its primary mission.So a big part of the problem is that what you want TACC to do and what Tesla wants TACC to do are quite different.
Tesla seems to want TACC to also:
adjust speed for speed limits
adjust speed for curves (and maybe sometimes hills?)
stop for red lights/stop signs
stop for pedestrians
stop for UFOs
slow for construction? (maybe just a side effect of barrels in the lane or no lane lines?)
[Probably many, many more things.]
I think 2019 was probably the peak for [dumb] TACC.
I’ve said this a thousand times, but I have routine slowdowns on straight roads in clear weather. Maybe TACC is imagining a curve or a stoplight-shaped UFO, but it doesn’t matter - if it is, the system is failing.
