It's weird how different limiters/ACC work for different people. I use ACC all the time in my ID3, probably for nearly 50% of my 45mile commute and love it.

I've had to switch to limiter in the C3 hire car as it's just got dumb cruise and it feels like going back to the olden times.

I wouldn’t have a car without adaptive cruise now - spent hours of my life looking through autotrader for an EQC which had the optional extra pack with it was it wasn’t standard on any trim level. Only way you could tell (any adverts never mentioned it) was the slightly different set of buttons on the steering wheel…

I use it everywhere - just set to the road speed limit and let it do its thing. Have to remember the OH’s EQC doesn’t have it and is liable to plough into the traffic ahead when using bog standard cruise :D

Never used a limiter in my life - not sure I like the idea of the car just saying no if I’m trying to accelerate…

Lots of cars with one pedal driving will do that anyway.

There's a huge hill in the town near me and it's a 20mph limit. With my regen set to auto I can go down it at 20mph and if you take your foot off the accelerator it'll stay at 20mph anyway.

Depends how steep the hill is


A good implementation of a speed limiter takes variance out of the situation.


Set the speed. Go. Change when needed.
 
Time is money. I drive as fast as I can to get to destination on 1% battery at arrival. Bigger battery for the win. Couldn’t care about 2.7/m vs 3.5/m when it’s so cheap anyway

That’s why I wouldn’t use an automatic speed limiter, and why I’ve written the Polestar off.


The ID 7 has a manual one.


You set the speed and you can’t go above it unless you floor the accelerator


It’ll brake going downhill too, which is handy for a few hills with speed cameras on them

That’s exactly what the adaptive cruise does
