Tesla investigated over 'phantom braking' problem (5 days ago) :P

This was the fundamental problem we had with the VW, there was no way to opt out and it was just plain dangerous. We'd be cruising at 70, pull out to overtake and it would slam on the brakes when a car was behind us etc. We forced our way out of the lease, threatened to take legal action and...

Unpopular answer I guess, but just don't use the lane assist/adaptive cruise control/autopilot feature. Our VW golf (2019) had the same issue and it did it without those features turned on, we had to demand they take the car back.

Was autopilot or cruise control engaged? So far I've read that people experienced this when using autopilot. I'm probably going to steer clear of it until I see this is fixed as in our previous 2019 golf, this was super dangerous, it would basically emergency break on the motorway every other...

Likewise I had the text with reg twice but already had it from a call with them. Are you paying for the car outright? Henry why you have a final invoice?

I'd have gone for the R1S in a heartbeat if they sold them here in the UK

I'm collecting on 2nd march 10am, I have a VIN + reg number, but neither appears in any of my documents in the Tesla account section (e.g. the invoice VIN box is empty), should these update at some point? I guess I probably don't get a "final invoice" as im leasing via Tesla PCP.

/cc @thewanted I ordered these as my tots are rear facing still so wanted a l little extra protection: https://www.johnlewis.com/anyday-john-lewis-partners-car-seat-protector-black/p5340069 Also wife works for JL so discount :-)

For you or anyone that's had the boost in the past is it worth it? 1.5K for a 0.5sec shaving off 0-60 seems not, but maybe i'm just boring

FWIW I never looked at pending vin, but searched for "vin": because its this field that populates with the VIN itself. E.g.: "vin":"LRWYHCEK8******" My pending vin is still null and I'm confirmed to collect on 2nd March at 10am.

Days since last parcel shelf enquiry: 0

I'm one parcel shelf question away from registering notaparcelshelf.com in homage to the Not A Flamethrower saga.

On the contrary, I'd think it extremely difficult to find a chip that supports 2.4Ghz and not 5Ghz these days, I'd say with pretty good confidence it will support 5Ghz. The model 3 supports both too. Also, FWIW 2.4Ghz will penetrate walls better, so you may have better luck reaching the car on...
