    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Never unsafe? So the video I posted about it causing an 8 car pile up on a San Francisco highway is "totally fine" right? It's just an "annoyance" right? Is this a CULT or a RELIGION? Keep eating that finger chili :)

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Hey guys, Just an update to this thread I started over a year ago. The phantom braking only got worse with the updates (in addition to new bugs like the window wiper bug). After 10 months of ownership I traded in the tesla for a non-ev at a ~$30k loss (the tesla was $70k when I got it in Dec...

    Having second thoughts on picking up MYP

    There is one more thing I'd like to add... At $54k-$7.5k the car is a good deal. PB and range issues aside, it's definitely worth it. I paid almost $70k for the same vehicle 2.5 months ago. At $70k it's definitely NOT worth it. It has too many bugs that should be ironed out for a vehicle in...

    Having second thoughts on picking up MYP

    Coming from someone that has a brand new 2023 MYLR with major phantom braking issues here is what I think (see my other post about my experience). 1. If you plan on driving long range in this vehicle, do NOT get it (ex: road trips, and highway driving on desert type highways like we have in the...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Really? At a profit? Wow. You are a true fanboy drinking the cool aid all the way... And yeah, I tried. I paid $68,440 cash on December 3rd, 2022. CarMax offered me $37,000 for a 2 month old car with 2,267 miles on it. Who will give me $68k+ (profit) if a brand new MYLR is selling for $54,500...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Thanks for sharing your feedback man. It's hard for people who never experienced this problem to understand the full impact of how scary and uncomfortable it is. Having now tried multiple times on my 2023 MYLR I can definitely say that I would not recommend you buy this car for any type of...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Thanks for the tip, unfortunately it's extremely uncomfortable to keep your foot "just barely covering the accelerator" on a 7 hour drive. It's not a comfortable position and the foot cramps up quickly. I just drive my Hyundai now because I can put it on cruise control and it drives without...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    The phantom braking on my 2023 MYLR brings the car to a complete stop on a highway if I do not intervene by pressing the accelerator after a phantom braking event occurs. The speed is reduced from 75 mph to 50 mph immediately and then gradually slowed down to 0 at a rate of about 10 mph per 5...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    It's interesting to note that quite a few people are jumping on board and saying this is not phantom braking when it very clearly is. When a car slams the brakes without cause it is phantom braking. It's extremely frightening and dangerous. What makes matters worse is you guys are trying to...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Sorry to hear about your issue man. As someone who experienced the same problem over a dozen times (minus the car shutting down part) I understand at least some of what you've been through. It's extremely dangerous and scary when it happens. Please keep us updated on your situation. I am...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    For me, when the phantom braking occurred, the speed dropped each time from about 75 MPH to ~50mph in a matter of about 2 seconds. The speed continued to be reduced until I applied acceleration. So in my case, I think the car would have come to a complete stop (on the highway) if accelerator was...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Hey guys. Thanks for all of your feedback and excellent info. It's very interesting to note that this problem has been ongoing and some people experience it while others do not and the hardware level of the vehicle (sensors vs vision) does not appear to make much of a difference with recent...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    I have the latest version that my vehicle supports, so yes, I do have the latest version. You are taking a hostile position on a topic that's of importance to current and future Tesla vehicle owners. If I knew this was such a serious and dangerous issue I would not have purchased this vehicle...

    Phantom Breaking on recent road trip

    Bob, I had a similar issue today while driving with my wife. It was very unpleasant and scary. I created a thread here about it because I didn't see this subforum: New 2023 Tesla Model Y - Major phantom breaking issues
