Yeah I could not tell you why Tesla decided to do the opposite of every cruise control system I've ever seen or used and change the speed when activated.
EDIT: Apparently, cruise will use the higher of either your current speed, or whatever the prevailing limit is. If you set the Speed Limit Warning relative offset speed to a large negative number the cruise control should use your current speed as the target.
Thanks, yes I found that somewhere and will set mine the same to eliminate at least that issue.EDIT: Apparently, cruise will use the higher of either your current speed, or whatever the prevailing limit is.

I think the problem is, as alluded to in the previous post, Tesla are trying to move to the next level of cruise and automation. If using FSD it makes sense to adjust speed on sliproads etc - then problem comes when you just want ‘normal ACC’ and it’s trying to be too clever. I’m hoping it will improve with software updates soon, although the dates of these issues in the Tesla forum suggests not.
Current woe is the Tesla dropping down to 16 or 17A charging current for no reason. That has at least been acknowledged as a bug and is due for a fix in a future update..

I’ve had my M3P for a month and, compared to the Volvo system (which is itself nothing to write home about) it is absolutely dire.
On a routine stretch of A road I use the cruise control disengages about 5 times, and drops the cruise speed limit - at one section to 25mph (there were roadworks here until recently). When activating CC it wants to set the speed to the limit it believes is in force, rather than the speed I am driving (* only when driving under the speed limit - eg where the car thinks the limit is 60 but it is actually 30). It also drops the cruise speed when using any slip roads, to 70, or even 50.
Due to regen braking, I have to sit with my foot hovering over the accelerator most of the time, as if cruise control disengages the deceleration is significant (day 2 of driving it I nearly had a tailgating transit in the back of me when CC disengaged on the A14).
I would genuinely have sent this car back if it were a Standard M3; as it is, I can forgive pretty much everything for the incredible acceleration from the P model!

Rtfm and set your cruise speed to relative rather than absolute.

I started with relative, but found the car iwould then set cruise to my offset rather than the speed limit - just as annoying, so a choice of two evils. I think the negative offset sounds like the best answer to the situation. None of these of course resolve the car arbitrarily changing speed when it decides the speed limit is different.
Just using CC; autosteer doesn’t seem to re-engage after a lane change (unless I’m missing something) and goes crazy if changing lanes without indictating so I tend not to use it.

I would agree with the comparison between the volvo and tesla AP. It seems like we had similar issues of the system disengaging as well.

Today didn't have any problems and it worked fairly well. I didn't need to do a soft reset either so I'm hoping it's settled down now!
Still odd, though I am in NZ with a more open AP than you get in europe shouldnt be any different on a straightish highway.
Mine now (with fsd/trafic lights) is capable of the majority of my drive to work including lights and 90 degree bends etc bu excluding junctions/turns and roundabouts.

Anyone know what the lead times on new M3Ps are at the moment?
End of September at the moment according to Tesla in Brum. I'm looking for October delivery and test drove a Model 3 Performance this week. Impressed and not as bad as people make out. Love the seats and a very practical car. I'm not sure about the massive tablet stuck in the middle, but it's got me thinking. Gassing Station | Tesla | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
