The absence of regular cruise control in my Model S Plaid is incredibly frustrating on road trips, particularly since Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC) maxes out at 90 MPH - which is the speed limit on at least one U.S. road. Moreover, if the camera can’t see to its satisfaction, TACC’s maximum speed is even lower.

Camera can’t see ≠ I can’t see perfectly well. It’s dangerous to not have cruise control available at speeds that keep you with the flow of traffic.

Also, autopilot having a maximum speed of 85 MPH makes it essentially unusable on many interstates, where the speed limit is 80 MPH and the flow of traffic is 90 MPH.

So dumb.
