finally got the rights to post this on a German Tesla Forum Instabilität beim Bremsen aus >200kmh, ESP/ABS Problem? • TFF Forum - Tesla Fahrer & Freunde

Thanks for all your input! I must emphasize the following - the conditions were optimal for keeping control of the car namely: -it was dry -it was daylight -I was concentrated (no distractions and only started driving 20min earlier) -I have driven many different cars in the same situation (in...

While I still believe its an ESP/ABS problem, one other thing that has come to mind is aerodynamics. Around the year 2000 Audi launched the TT and there were 5 deaths before Audi acknowledged that it had to modify the car with a rear spoiler. The accidents were in similar cirumstances as the one...

Also absolutely a possibility that it has to do with the transient of mechanical/regen brakes. In the wet it would be much worse! State of charge approx 70% It was about 8 deg C the night before. I had driven 150km at speed that day, I think the battery was warm. Pretty sure the regen was...

Good point, thanks, will do.

The scenario sounds and possible malfunction sounds very similar, you were slower, so maybe with lesser effect. Are you driving on the track with ESP switched on? The figure I have is 400kwh/100km at 190kmh and about 450 at 200kmh. Its relatively accurate but not precise because I have so far...

I have a hard time to believe such ESP malfunction is isolated to my car as the ESP works fine in other driving conditions. To me it smells like a systematic flaw. We will see what Tesla has to say...and I would be interested to hear if other people are having similar problems.

I have the same suspicion Pretty certain there was no alarm tone. Definitely no "warning lights" (which go off on other cars on emergency braking) That is how I know ALL half decent cars to handle in the same situation. I relative "lost" his Tesla to their service for a month before, but you...

No, not used that feature so far.

would Tesla have access to comprehensive "black box" data of the time of the incident?

Thanks. Automatic emergency braking is a possibility! I just checked, it was set to "on". However, the deceleration did feel some margin away from "full lock" braking, it felt like they were engaging in turns (I could hear the typical ABS/ESP sound from a different tyre each split second)...

Based in Germany I am new to the "Tesla World". I took delivery of the M3 last week. I guess with first M3s coming to Germany only last month, there is limited high speed handling experience with the car on "normal roads". Nevertheless, I would like to find out if anyone has had the same...
