In Europe it is really annoying, that you can only change the TACC (or the Autopilot) cruise speed by 5 km/h max. Outside the town in the Model S you could change the speed by 10 Km/h. That was way more convenient.
Now in the Model 3, I feel like I'm back to the beginning of the gaming industry, were winning a Commodore C64 game was all about, who could tab the fastest.
With the Model 3, one has to scroll the wheel like hell, because outside the town the speed limit often changes from 50 to 100, or 70 to 100 (kph), on my daily route at almost every 30 seconds. And while Autopilot doesn't recognize every speed limit and also drives like Mad Max into a town with 100 Km/h way past the speed Sign, this is crazy and unusable.
Please Tesla, simply implement an Autopilot speed change at 10 km/h! (Like it was in the Model S AP1)
Oh and yes - i know Autopilot (as of today) is only for the use on highways ("beta"), but 1. it is even worse on the Autobahn (highway), when changing from 150 to 80 kph (racing into a construction site is no fun) and 2. we only talk about AP1 parity here, which i drove for over 4 years.
Another idea, which bpjod postet, is also nice, even when this would be a pain for round number lovers like me:
Traffic aware cruise control - initial set speed?
Maybe - and that would be even better - there could be an option on which difference a slow scroll turn and fast turn would provide (like 1 kph, or 5 kph on the slow turn and 10 kph, or 10% on the fast turn).
Have a great day everyone!

Ps.: And besides this, the Model 3 is a fantastic ride!

- I wish the relative offset could be a percentage rather than a fixed amount over the posted speed. I'd like +10% as 10 kph over in town feels a bit excessive whereas it feels about right on the highway. I've compromised with +7 kph, then fine tune with the scroll wheel after engaging, but I'd rather have it offset by a %age.
