Love TACC and use it almost all the time on the freeway. Except when it starts getting funky and braking unnecessarily. That happens when my lane is moving fast and the next lane over is stopped or traveling slowly. I think TACC is seeing these cars as possible merging vehicles and is trying to avoid them. TACC seems to be much too "kind" to merging vehicles. I never use TACC in the right lane for that reason. TACC also takes off ramps too slowly (I've almost been rear ended a couple of times).
NoA, on the other hand, is downright scary. The only place it's useful is in stop and go traffic under 25 mph. Otherwise, it switches lanes too soon when approaching an exit (like it starts moving over 2.5-3 miles before the exit). And, more importantly it does not know how to handle the situation when a approaching a new lane (like when a carpool lane opens up or when a right exit-only lane opens up). Lots of work still necessary before I could trust it NoA to take me "on ramp to off ramp" especially if there are freeway interchanges to get through. However, I do find it very useful to use for a few seconds while changing the radio station. checking the nav, or opening a water bottle. Just double pull, do your task, then push/pull to go back into TACC. Wish Tesla would make this a little easier by allowing me to cancel NoA without cancelling TACC.
