No Cruise Control?

[trad8]

My 22 MX LR does not seem to have cruise control. I can activate Autosteer / Autopilot by pushing the right yoke scroll wheel, but I can't get the car to simply cruise (ie. maintain a set speed). My 18 M3 LR does this on the first flick of the drive stick, the second takes you into autopilot. Both cars have FSD. How weird is that? Anyone else have this problem (or should I say "puzzling lack of a basic feature of all cars I've ever driven")?

And for those of you wondering why I'd want cruise control but not autopilot - autopilot will disengage in certain circumstances but I may still want to maintain a set speed.

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with the butterfly controls, so I can't help there, but I should imagine the manual would tell you how to engage TACC as well as AP.

Regardless, when AP is enabled and you take over with steering force, it drops back to TACC. AFAIK, this has been the case since AP1 was introduced, and it hasn't changed even in the FSD beta (where speed may adjust during the transititon).

Are you suggesting that you cannot break free of AP via steering force without TACC disengaging?

I never thought about this but you're right i havent seen the option for just cruise control. I typically still use autopilot, keep my foot on the accelerator in situations where i feel like it would disengage.

You need to adjust the settings in the autopilot menu. If you make autopilot engage on two clicks, cruise should engage on one. At least that’s how it’s working in my 2022 LR.

That was it! Thank you.

That is correct, when you take over it drops to full manual

Sounds like Tesla decided to make a change, but maybe a sensible one for some people. They often make one setting change multiple things, though... Is this still the case after you changed the setting for engaging autopilot to two clicks?
