    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    I don't come here often because like your post overall there are a lot of hostile and overly fanatical people over here. I still own a Model X.

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    I can't believe this is still happening. We had one of the first vision only Model Y's from May 2021. We had to sell it by Nov '21 due to the excessive phantom braking and a few really close calls (nearly being rear ended).

    Phantom Braking

    When the vehicle behind you has to leave the side of the roadway to miss you then you are damn near rear ended. That literally happened to my wife. Again, TACC is fully supported on two lane highways. I've already pasted right from the manual, here it is again. We always used TACC, not...

    Phantom Braking

    From the Model Y User manual under TACC https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-50331432-B914-400D-B93D-556EAD66FD0B.html "Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is primarily intended for driving on dry, straight roads, such as highways." I haven't been able to find where you can't use...

    Phantom braking in my new Model Y

    Sorry to say we sold our 2021 Y over this back in November, I've kept up with these threads to see if the issue is improving. It hasn't, really sad and negligent to be honest on Tesla's part. I would suggest documenting your issues and schedule a service so your issue is on record. They...

    “Dumb” cruise control?

    Tesla knows. I'd still create a service request just so your issues are on record. You'll need to submit an NHTSA compliant though as well if you are experiencing issues to the level of being unsafe (we did). Tesla won't look at your car though. After providing them access to clips and bug...

    FSD Beta Attempts to Kill Me; Causes Accident

    He explains in the youtube comments he was trying to get the warning to stop beeping and that he was doing the wheel shaking not the car. Would pressing the brake stop the warning? I don't know, one would assume the warning would have went off when the car detected him moving wheel. It is...

    First time I've heard that but I'm not surprised at all.

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    Who are you to keep demanding proof that me or anyone else has tried all the proper channels to get this issue fixed? It isn't anyone's job here to sell you on the fact that this is a problem, yet here you are demanding it. Complete lack of empathy and understanding on your part and it has...

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    This is the response you get when you attempt to provide Tesla service with video evidence, bug reports, and explanation of the same serious issues in the thread. This is my actual response from Tesla.

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    Sorry to hear that, pretty much echoes our experience for 6 months. So don't expect a magic fix anytime soon. Your driving situation was just like ours, lots of 2 lane highways. The system is not usable in those cases we've found as well. Ultimately we got rid of our Y over it. I see you...

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    Not attacking you, your original post read like you might not have known this. I've had the same similar issues though. I know it isn't something you would typically notice while your car is slamming on the brakes, but there should be a pop up saying "Emergency braking in progress". If you...

    AEB is automatically turned back on each time you drive the car.

    Model Y Auto Pilot Nearly Unusable

    I hate to see a lot of new owners come into these threads reporting these issues for vision based 3/Y built on or after May 2021. There are several threads floating around various 3/Y forums and sub forums now reporting the same issues. Lot of downplaying and mudslinging around the issue...

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    Shortly before we sold our Y it braked so hard on an open highway the truck behind my wife had to leave the side of the highway to miss her. The kids booster seats slammed against the driver and passenger seats. Thankfully they weren't in the car. Understandably my wife was very upset as...

    Mach E Premium and after 1,300 miles it hasn't phantom braked a single time.

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    We sold our May 2021 vision based Y over this issue a few weeks ago. It isn't safe. "knowing where we can't use it" was basically 90% of the roads we drove. Some of the constant downplaying of the issue around here is sad to see.

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    Yes, my F150 handles this situation it has never failed to not apply the brakes. It has forward collision warning also, but that isn't needed since it applies the brakes.

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    I'll have to disagree there, my 2015 F-150 has always braked correctly for a stopped vehicle ahead not even engaging the automatic emergency braking. It just works like it is supposed to. I've put around 40k miles on it. I've not had a deer or something run out in front of me though. Not...

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    I'm not confident the vision based system will ever work as well as other manufacturers systems. Tesla knows it doesn't now, that is why they are still putting the radar on S/X. Objectively it will probably never be able to handle the scenario where the sun is blinding the cameras. Even my...

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    Just our experiences, some of the worst incidents were in the day. The stark contrast of shadows (trees) or passing semis seems to trigger it the worst. Although like in the video I posted it will just slow down for no apparent reason with wide open road ahead also.

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    Now you're just doubling down and trying to gaslight everyone. My video shows me driving on a two lane straight highway. Just stop it is getting sad.

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    That is flat out wrong. Here it is directly from the manual. https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-50331432-B914-400D-B93D-556EAD66FD0B.html "Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is primarily intended for driving on dry, straight roads, such as highways and freeways." The video was...

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    It is good so far, Extended range premium. The cruise control works without phantom braking. Blue Cruise isn't released yet on our car but we aren't big autopilot users anyway.

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    We traded our Y last week on a Mach E. Enough was enough on the phantom braking. It is entirely possible you could own one of these cars and use it in an area or situation where you don't get a lot of it (like on the interstate), but where we live (2 lane highways) it wasn't usable.

    Is Phantom Braking Still a Problem?

    I started a thread about my experience with vision based cruise control and the issues we have with it. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/vision-cruise-control-isnt-usable-video.246072 TLDW: No, it isn't fixed, far from it. In fact compared to the other 2 Tesla's we have owned it is...

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    Yes, exactly. We are in the same situation. This video was filmed in rural Indiana. When we ordered this car vision based cruise had not even been announced. Tesla doesn't treat the feature the same as autopilot as well. When you get in the car for the first time it is enabled by default...

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    Tesla touts that their autopilot doesn't just work on the interstate and it is available on this entire stretch of road, so I guess I disagree here. Regardless I'm just talking about the cruise control here, not even using autopilot.

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    After 8,000 miles on our 2021 Y now we are seriously considering getting rid of it. My wife's daily commute is about 25 miles each way on this stretch of road in the video. It is constant hard braking events, audible beeping, and behavior shown on the video. The problem is worse at night but...

    Cruise control / Auto Pilot is Garbage

    We have a May 2021 LR Y with Vision 8,000 miles so far. My wife has complained for a while about how bad the cruise control is (not even talking AP). She has had several incidents now where she was nearly rear ended. I was able to use it a few days ago at night and was shocked just how bad it...

    Since my MC2/HW3 upgrade, the car will not sleep when plugged in

    I just had an unrelated service visit and included information about this issue on the request. They confirmed it is a known issue and a fix will roll out eventually.

    Since my MC2/HW3 upgrade, the car will not sleep when plugged in

    Well I jumped the gun on this one and can also confirm it isn't fixed. The car is sleeping initially but at some point later in the evening waking up. I'm still seeing the screen burn I posted the photo of from the screen staying on so long.

    Falcon Wing Door Glass Seal deteriorating

    About a month ago I had one glass replaced on my 2017 X under warranty for this issue. My X is still under the 4 year used warranty. I was holding my breath when I made the appointment, but it was replaced no questions asked. I provided a picture and explained it was "sticky" to the touch...

    Since my MC2/HW3 upgrade, the car will not sleep when plugged in

    I installed 2020.44.25 today and so far the car is sleeping as normal. 2.5 hours of charging and 1 hour of idle time. The screen went off and stayed off the entire time. I setup my Go Pro in time lapse mode to confirm it was actually sleeping.

    Since my MC2/HW3 upgrade, the car will not sleep when plugged in

    I'm going to have to try to leave my charging cable unplugged I guess. This was my screen after sitting overnight. Hopefully a fix doesn't take long.

    Since my MC2/HW3 upgrade, the car will not sleep when plugged in

    2017 X I just upgraded to MCU 2 last week as well. I noticed a nasty side effect of this behavior yesterday. My X sat for almost 2 days plugged in our garage. During that time I noticed a few times the IC display was on and charge light lit up but didn't think much of it. Went to drive...
