    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    I completely disagree. You get into a rear-end, police comes, they find the rear vehicle at fault, their insurance pays, end of story. Admitting fault in an accident is a huge liability and financial risk, and if you say your car acted erratically (which you'll need to for the media to get...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Not very likely, because it would cost them money. Your car phantom breaks and the car behind you hits you, what incentive do you have to say it was a phantom break, therefore admit fault, get a ticket, put the claim on your own insurance, and raise your own rates? They can but they have a...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Why would anyone voluntarily go to a government agency and say "that rear-end accident, that was my fault, not the car behind me", and end up having their insurance rates increased?

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    The following is not relevant to the topic of this thread... But, in the video you linked, it says "you can request a copy of your data". Believe me as someone that tried, that is a lie. I did make a request, and it was promptly denied - Tesla said they only provide vehicle data if they are...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    "I would say you should do some research...but I don't think you care about research." "Now, if you want to just whine and complain about something you don't like, real or not,..." "Lots of people complain about PB, ok fine..." When you say things like the above, people stop taking you...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Doesn't Tesla already have access to your vehicle data, and aren't they already aware of virtually all cases of phantom breaks (software reduces speed, person presses the gas pedal)?

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    If you have 10,000 reports of phantom breaks (an extremely dangerous thing while driving) across different software versions and situations, Tesla should acknowledge the issue and VERY CLEARLY inform drivers of this specific risk at the time of purchase and whenever Autopilot/FSD is engaged, and...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Your persistence on seeing more data and calling this a situation-specific issue that requires case by case analysis sure makes it seems like you are trying to redirect the conversation from "consumers have a reasonable expectation of predictable behavior from their cars" to "what happened to...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Asking for more data is inappropriate. The mere reporting of the issue by consumers is sufficient. Unless you work at Tesla, and you're trying to use this forum as a place where you detect reproducible bugs for your software. Which is also inappropriate. The point here is that it's...

    Data privacy request denied - need advice

    Thank you; will do this. Part of me thinks they'll play gotcha and point out the wording @Daniellane highlighted "Access to this feature varies by location"; but let's see.

    Data privacy request denied - need advice

    Right. That same paragraph starts with "As part of putting you in control of your data and privacy"... but as you mentioned and the email response shows, it looks like the existence of this page has nothing to do with caring about customers, rather, it's just there to satisfy minimum legal...

    Data privacy request denied - need advice

    Yes, which makes it disingenuous. See below for their response.

    Data privacy request denied - need advice

    Hi all, I submitted a request to obtain my vehicle's data from Tesla (duration of 1 week) on Tesla's data privacy request page. It was denied within a day, with a massage saying Tesla is only obligated to provide data in the State of California, and the European Union, and that their records...

    Bent wheels, 3rd party wheel advice needed

    All great points, thanks a lot! I ended up ordering two used M3P wheels from eBay for a reasonable price (since not using insurance and not sure how much longer I'm holding the car, wanted to go with the most cost effective option), waiting for them to arrive to have the tire shop mount and...
