Perhaps because 73mph would be 'speeding', and your Model S is protecting you from getting a ticket.
No thanks. I don't want or need nanny features.Ticket prevention mode... Interesting feature.

Ditto.Elon has often said "Safety is paramount".
My mind always goes to a dark, "1984"-esque place when I hear comments like that.
The suggestion was "ticket prevention" not "ticket warning". The former screams "governor" to me while the latter mumbles "radar detector". Huge difference to me.If you don't speed, then what's the big deal if your car let's you know you're attention has slipped momentarily? :smile:
So speeding implies lack of safety? Violating a speed limit anywhere on any road implies lack of safety? Sorry, but I completely disagree. We already have at least one thread about public-budget-motivated speed limits, so no need to branch to that topic here.But if you're someone who regularly breaks the law by speeding then I'd prefer you not driving on the same roads as me, my family members, my friends or other innocents who obey the speed limit out of respect for the safety of their fellow man.

What constitutes speeding? Going higher than 65? 75? 85? Does that mean everyone that is legally going > 100mph on the autobahn is speeding? No. Highway speed limits are a ridiculous subjective limitation. Highway speed limits were initially throttled in the 1970s in response to the gas shortage. This makes them completely irrelevant to the Model S. There is no speed limit for electric cars.
I am not at all sure what you are saying here. Can you elaborate? To me, speeding is anything in excess of the posted limit. BTW most of the autobahns have speed limits too, just not everywhere. Since I am old enough to remember it I will also point out that due to gasoline shortages in the early 1970's speed limits were reduced, but most of those reductions (all??) were revoked and speeds were increased after the shortages. To say there are no speed limits for electric cars is, to me, ludicrous since limits were/are established more for safety reasons than for gasoline economy.What constitutes speeding?

Speeding by definition is travelling faster than the posted limit.
Speeding isn't confined to highways. And using your own adjective, set speed limits and whether they are ridiculous or not is 'subjective.'. Certainly you can ask any number of people who've been victims of speed...oh, wait...no you can't, many are dead.
** I remember that a few years ago a bunch of people were protesting the posted speed limit in a city (I think Toronto),
It was some Georgia State people in 2005 in Atlanta. I entered the same college movie competition they did. Their's was much better. Mine involved a (granted elaborate) beer run on bicycles.
Link was hard a hell to find!
In some areas of WA, OR, and CA it seems that the left lane is the slowest lane when there is more than 1 car on the road.That was painful to watch... and they beat you? Anywho, I get the point they were trying to make, but isn't "keep right, except to pass" a thing down there too?
