That's strange. I was reading through this thread nodding my head like "Ha, my Tesla doesn't have these annoyances!" until I saw your comment.

I'm guessing though that you're in the EU (I'm in the US where it is almost considered criminal to go speed limit on the highway)

Yes, in the EU. On the plus side speed limits generally are higher than in the US.

Lots of bad road design in the US, where the speed the road is designed for and the speed limit assigned have almost nothing to do with each other.

Agreed. I live in a relatively new suburb of my city (built in 2022) and it was built past what would have been called "the boonies" a decade ago.

The way to get to the city proper goes through country roads that probably used to only get a few dozen vehicles per hour, now having to handle massive traffic due to the new developments in this area (they're still building!)

They're working on reworking the roads but the speed limits are nonsensical because of this history.
