You're welcome, no problem :)

I honestly couldn't tell too much difference between my M3 1-pedal driving (stop mode: Stop) and my father's ID.4 (not sure if it was in B mode). I used to go with Creep mode (Stop mode was introduced sometime in 2020 IIRC), then I tried Stop and fell in love with it, it provides max regen and auto-engages breaks when close to standstill.

As for the overspeed, on highways, I usually ensure there's enough space in the passing lane, I change lane and let it accelerate without pushing it myself (or give it a small nudge without disengaging). I literally just discovered that AP also has "Overtake acceleration", which I never knew existed or used ( https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/2017_2023_model3/en_eu/GU... ). On city streets, I let TACC run at 50km/h or 30km/h, so I usually go for the accelerator only to navigate in/out of turns.

You can switch on TACC at <30km/h if you have visible traffic ahead of you more than 1.5m apart, so unless you're driving at night with nobody around you should be able to enable it also at 20km/h.

TBH though after 4y I also developed a feeling for city-speeds, so I rarely overspeed, even accidentally. The small price to pay is that I really have to use feather-weight on the accelerator and it's not always easy (esp. if you're physically tired).

As I read your post I realized what you really want: power cut-off at set speed ("do not push over X") with override option. Throttle remapping sounds cool, but I'm not sure anybody implements it like that. AFAIK Tesla does not have that on any model, agreed.
