I WANT A DUMB CRUISE CONTROL!!! ONE THAT SETS THE SPEED AND THAT'S THAT!!
My Model 3 has nearly caused several rear end collisions (my rear end) by needless application of brakes. I've turned off every 'emergency' setting possible and it will still slam on brakes for odd or no reason.
For example, on a 2 lane road, fairly straight going 60MPH (55 was the speed limit). A disabled car on the right side of the road, no people around, nothing but a car on the right side of the road, sort of close to the edge but off the road WHAM!!! Went from 60 to 40 in about 1/2 second with my 80 y/o mother in law in the back. My wife already says she hates the car because of these events.
Next day, on interstate, fair amount of traffic, on the left lane going like 65 MPH, a car is parked on the left shoulder, off the road - WHAM!! slammed on brakes again.
One time driving in residential area, bright sunny day, no cars moving but plenty parked on both sides of the road, for no reason went from 30MPH to nearly dead stop for no reason.
Then there's this is very predictable event. Multi lane road with a median, and a car on the other side makes a left turn across my travel lane, but with plenty of space to safely complete the turn but the Tesla is a skittish scardy cat driver that slams on brakes and then resumes speed a 1/2 second later because the turning car is out of the way. In the course of this whips passengers back & forth.
All of these could be cured with a 'classic cruise control' mode just like I have used for about 2 decades with no problems.
I've begun just not using it in situations where these events may come up. It seems to do better with the auto-steer engaged.
It's not all bad, the auto-steer is a great thing when in stop & go traffic. It just follows the car in front, when they move, I move, when they stop I stop without having to be on hyper alert for cars jamming on brakes in front of me etc.
