Odd, I'm on 6.2-2.4.213 and I was in the car yesterday on the freeway and did not notice this behavior for cruise control. I'm pretty sure actually that it still does the +/- 5mph thing, and not increment to the nearest 5mph. I'll go out tonight and try this behavior specifically and report back.

I verified this on my way home today. With TACC set to 43 mph, one full upward deflection changed the set speed to 45mph. Doing it again changed it to 50mph.
I am on the .188 flavor of 6.2. I for one prefer this behavior. (I think most people tend to go 5 mph over the limit, though I have no evidence to back this up--just based on how fast people around me tend to travel).

Looks like there must be a difference for TACC vs. pre-TACC. My "classic" 2013 Model S running .213 still works the way it always has - it goes +/- 5 mph relative to the speed you started - no stopping at even 5 mph increments.
Before the 6.2 update, I thought you couldn't change driver profiles (from one person to another) unless you were in park. I remember having to put the car in park to switch the driver profiles so my brother could see what changes.
Now, on 2.183 , a driver was able to change the driver profile from one user to another while going 50 km. Is that a bug? I would think it unsafe.

Agreed. I tested this on my classic P85+ on firmware 6.2-1.4.213, and it does NOT work the way the manual says.
The cruise control on my car operates the way it always has -- adds or subtracts 5mph from the current cruise control setting. It does not increment or decrement to the nearest 5mph, as the manual specifies it should. I submitted a bug report.

Geeze, I sure hope they keep this this way for older cars... the "stop at a 5mph increment" is so messed up to me. I want the controls to do specific and predictable things. If I do a "full up" I want to know that's going to add exactly 5mph to my current speed, not 1,2,3 or 4 mph depending upon my current speed to the next 5mph increment, and then +5 more from there. What a misguided idea this is. IMHO.

My car currently doesn't do full 5 MPH increments. I can be at 35, hit full up twice, get to 45 or 46, then hit full down twice and end up anywhere between 34-36. I just "live with it". At least I have a digital display to tell me vs. analog ones that "looked" like they went specific increments, but who knows if they actually did or were off 1 mph.

Yeah, I'm unexcited about the change also, and will probably send in a complaint when it arrives on my car. It's clear from reading this thread that some people like it. Tesla should just make it user-selectable.
Just for completeness:
[1] What speed did TACC think was the local speed limit?
[2] What is your offset for TACC relative to speed limit (in the settings)?

I was on an SJ to LA and back trip last weekend. In my early P85, CC goes up or down I 5mph increments only when full pushed. It doesn't stop at multiples of 5 on full push. I'm on .188. My biggest issue always has been that often it thinks I pushed it short once and then full once whenever I try to do a single full push. I end up with a 6mph change... Maybe I'm doing it pretty slow, but I've tried playing with it and that doesn't seem to matter.

I've noticed the same behavior. Occasionally, I get a 6mph change. I thought it may be because of tolerance stack, where the actual speed ± the 5.0 ended up with a ± 6 change.
On reflection I think there could be some "switch debounce" issues with the stalks, or software process synchronization issues, or some such. I sometimes get 4 blinker flashes for the lane change "tap", when it should be 3. I've tried figuring out a sequence where that behavior is repeatable, but I have not found it. Maybe the ±1 then ±5 on the cruise control is further evidence.
OK. I just ask because it might just be a minor update to bring you in line with the latest. I personally haven't gotten a notification, but I don't typically get SW updates early either.
Currently on .213, I believe. Didn't update yet because it said it would take 2 hours, 15 minutes?!?! Will download tonight.
