    Phantom Braking

    Do you OWN a Tesla? Do you use the "autopilot"? I drive 500 miles a week on highways and I average 1 BFNAR (Braking for no apparent reason) per week. Its sever enough where I will shift lanes if someone is close behind me when I am on "autopilot"

    Tesla Service question (damage as a result of service, how to proceed)

    So if it is the steering wheel controls that are dead you can buy the part for $200 and pretty easily replace them both (comes with a new wire harness) when you lose horn plus steering wheel controls that is usually the fix. I have had it done 5 times, 4 under warranty that latest was RIGHT...

Also he mentioned...
