A lot of people cruise at an indicated 70mph, but don't realise their speedo is by design, optimistic, and that they are actually doing 65. No idea how accurate a Model S speedo is, but would guess very, as likely GPS driven. I've never seen one on a dual carriageway going anything except 70mph +, so maybe you're seeing chauffeur driven or airport taxi cars....

First point - not if the truck is Irish or an older vehicle (though rare these days).

Or, more and more often it seems, not if some other reason.

Plus if doing 65 or even 70 set on the cruise control presumably autopilot will just adjust to the speed of the vehicle in front?

Second point - yep. Although most people seem to have cottoned on to that in the 50 limits these days.
