Is autopilot now a "forced" option for all MY orders?

Autopilot has been standard on all Teslas for a while now, you can't opt-out of it.
And back when you could get a car without AP you got dumb CC, not adaptive CC.

Yes, a dumb CC that worked when sensors are covered with gunk and didn't brake for an overpass shadow. Oh how I wish Tesla made both available and allowed you to simply choose which one to use, like other cars do...

Driver can choose between manual control, traffic aware cruise control or Traffic Aware cruise control plus automatic lane keeping.
So you can now select to use, non-AP cruise control (i.e. Dumb CC) where the Tesla uses no sensors and just maintains speed (on a car equipped with Autopilot)??? If so, that's very new and music to my ears.

Said you can use manual control. ie. no cruise at all if you wish. Another option is traffic aware cruise control. They do not offer Dumb cruise control. Gotta get a legacy ICE if you want that 
Feds now require new production to offer additional safety featured like automatic emergency braking with most all cars. These are designed to protect drivers not paying attention to the road ahead. Unfortunately they also result in false positive alerts and braking. See this complained about in lots of other manufacturers forums...will get better.
Unfortunately Tesla still cannot do every possible permutation for every individual driver.
You get what you get.

Tesla did in the older Model 3's without AP (which is what I had), and even the current Model 3 SR, comes without AP and has "dumb cruise control".
