No nag under 10mph?

[TKGA]

I was stuck in slow traffic yesterday (<10mph stop and go) and turned on autosteer with TACC (Nav on AP was off).

For 20min my Tesla drove me through without requiring hands on the wheel or feet on the pedals. A few times where a wheel jostle was needed was immediately after it hit 10mph. But I definitely didn’t have to jostle it every 30sec.

It felt awesome - made feel like I’m in an autonomous car for the first time. Anyone else experience this?

I'm pretty sure the nags are distance based not time based.

Huh. That’s the first time I heard that. Every time I search for info the discussions talk about it being time-based. Example: New autopilot nag interval | Tesla

Yup. There's a low speed threshold below which they just don't happen.

The rate at which they happen these days is variable based on speed, but doesn't appear to be exactly distance based - it shortens faster than that - and is also somewhat dependent on the environment - cars to follow, construction, opposing traffic, possibly other things.

That's a much better way to say what I was trying to say. For sure it's not just a timer ...

Yep, they are definitely distance based. If going really slow, it can seem like they aren't there. It's about every 2 miles.

This does not my attempts to time them, and Elon explicitly stated there was a low speed exemption back in the day.

That closely matches what happens to me, but not exactly.
There is a stretch of road about 3 miles long out of my neighborhood where the speed limit is 45. Regardless of the speed I go (25 or 45), it seems to nag me at the same spot down the road. Thus, agreeing with what you say. BUT, the puzzling part is that once I turn onto the main road and activate, it nags me less than one mile down that road...… every time. So I am puzzled and it seems to be variable in my area. Maybe changes with firmware version. I don't know.
