Took delivery, got Cruise Control not available after 60 miles driving to calibrate [resolved]

Hi,

So happy to pick up our new Model 3 RWD, and first EV ever. Unfortunately, the happiness only lasted 1/2 hr to find out that Cruis Control isn't working, just getting the message "Cruise Control not available". I had enabled all settings, accepted all disclaimers, waited for all cameras to be calibrated, and drove 60 miles home, still not available.
I also did a reset by holding the two steering wheel buttons, still not available.

Last resort, doing an SW update right now (not sure why that wasn't done at the dealer anyway beforehand), and if that does not work, I guess calling for the first service?

Really shortlived honeymoon

...I guess calling for the first service?

sounds reasonable to me.

How many miles are on it? Are you sure that AP is fully calibrated?

"Drive to Calibrate Cameras

Model 3 must maneuver with precision when Autopilot features are being used. Therefore, before some features can be used for the first time or after some types of service repairs, cameras must complete a self-calibration process. For your convenience, the touchscreen displays a progress indicator."

I would give it a few days or so, before concluding there is a problem. It may still be calibrating. I haven’t seen anyone here have broken cruise control.

All good, worked perfectly fine right after the software update, It's really more a computer and software than a car manufacturer...

When I picked up my 2020 M3, it took just over 80 miles before I got cruise control and auto steer

The time it takes to calibrate depends upon the roads that are traveled. Clearly marked interstates seem pretty good.
