I prefer TACC over dumb cruise control but the one in the Model 3 stays too far back and also takes too long to regain speed when the lane is clear. So I’m often having to use the accelerator anyway. To be fair I don’t think that feature was any better with radar.

[UK] Spring Software Update

Fairly often my preferred 'mode' to drive in is Autosteer engaged but with TACC dialled all the way back to zero.
The fact you can’t easily just have Autosteer on without having to also use TACC is another shortcoming of the Tesla system vs the way some others operate.

You can adjust the follow distance of course, I can get one that I think makes sense at least for me but agree it is extremely slow at accelerating back up to speed when the lane clears so also use the accelerator. It's clearly programmed for maximum efficiency with a sprinkling of slow American driving on top.
Say you are travelling at 50 mph and engage Autosteer, then TACC is set to 50 mph (when using the current speed setting as I do). I then flick the right scroll down 10 times to get the set max speed down to zero, whilst controlling actual speed with my right foot. The car will then slow down all the way to zero if I fully lift off, but Autosteer stays engaged (within normal limits). You can drive at any speed between zero and 140 kph like this, using right pedal to adjust speed.
Might be confusion here as minimum in UK is 2 - might be EU wide? Is zero allowed US?

Yes yes, kick sensor auto boot but does anyone know if the update includes auto wipers that actually work and auto indicators that actually turn themselves off when you’ve completed a turn? Asking for a friend.

Auto wipers will never work! The fact that they are now changing (again) the manual wiper mode to up/down on the scroll wheel or pressing the wiper button, is a sure sign that they have given up trying to get the auto wipers to actually work...

My wipers behaved perfectly on a short outward journey wiping intermittently in light rain.
Unfortunately, they continued to operate exactly the same on the return journey long after the rain had stopped.
Enough said!

Really? That’s great news but I think I must have missed that.
Is that a setting somewhere?

Was it sunny? Mine loving coming on when it’s sunny “hey driver, look at me, just thought I’d let you know that I do work”

On my car the wipers always behave perfectly but rain, mist, spray or certain lighting conditions do not conform.
Will the Met Office ever fix this?
