cruise control

[Jon GrosJean]

I love this car, but the cruise control is useful on only limited access highways. It jerks you around on local roads accelerating up small hills and braking down small hills while trying to maintain the exact speed setting. The best cruise control I have ever used was on a Polestar. It allows +/- approximately 2 mph and and is so smooth that the operation is almost unnoticeable.

My first question is "are you using the one pedal L or you using the D setting" In the L mode I feel the tugging also. If I use the D mode it is hardly noticeable. I use L only when there' a stop sign or red light ahead. Once I accelerate, I go back to D

Good advice. I will check it out and post the result.

I have to believe this is the poster's problem.
I use cruise control almost all the time on freeways and stretches of rural roads where it seems useful given traffic flow (I don't have ACC).
I rarely use "one pedal" except on long downhill stretches.

Long downhill runs are where I let the motor be the "brake" with my foot off of the accelerator pedal as long as the vehicle is not accelerating. If it is, I engage the L switch

I use cruise on my 2020 bolt don't have a problem in L, but when you shut-off cruise it goes to braking...normal

Used the cruise control today in the normal (not single pedal control) mode. It is better but I think it would be better if the system allowed +/- 2 mph and not +/-1 mph ad it does now.

Whatever works for you.

Hopefully, future software updates will address it

Are you sure you're on D and not L?
I don't get the jerking around on D. I can set my speed in 1 mph increments from 24 mph up to 70 without the symptoms you're describing in town or on the hwy. The only time I use L, by my wife's command, in town is to brake. I go back to D once the stoplight turns Green
