Same here, more than 10 days since I ask for it on the crash site, numerous emails and calls to follow up the request, still not a single word.

Honestly, AnxietyRanger, I could not remember. The flying car crashing into two parked cars occupied all my memory space at that moment. I did remember the noon time traffic was light, and there was no car in front of me. I believe I would turn the blinker before turning the steering wheel...

Yeah, I definitely agree with you! I used to take a great deal of pride of my quick reflex, and over rated myself as an excellent driver. Last Friday was a wake up call....

I really appreciate the information you guys have provided here. Not only I learned a lot about the car and myself, I also felt better not to review the horrible movie in my mind.

Yes, I never use TAAC while my husband loves it. So I was not familiar with the stalk, and I drive to work most time without ever bother that setting. The most plausible explanation is indeed like it went back to a preset highway speed... which I hope to learn from the log data....It is just...

OK, how complicated is the the data interpretation? At this point, I truly wish Tesla can ensure me that it was all my fault, like stepping on the accelerator instead of the brake. At least the car is safe for my family members to drive.

BTW, almost a week, despite many phone calls and emails from my side, Tesla still not gives a single word given for the log. If the data is that complicated, then how would I be sure of the fidelity?

Thanks. My typical turn habit is slow speed (under 20 mph) no blinker and close to the curb, I turn on blinker when I need a wider turn, or a break or if the speed is around 35 mph. My commuter is a BMW which has the low center of gravity, and narrow turning angle. Before Tesla, I frequently...

Many thanks! I have to agree with the OP assessment It reminded me what I experienced early this year (maybe in February), I felt the uncontrollable lurch on a 50 mph highway. While I shared with my husband who was a passenger at the moment, we did not linger on the issue long enough. It is...

Thank you so much for the right link! I have been trying to find it, really saved a lot of my time...

Certainly feel this way. I would have much better understanding either way if Tesla provided me with any level of debriefing. I wrote to Tesla again last night based on the manual info, but I have not received any responses yet. After I had my MX delivery, I complained about the trim gaps, the...

Thank you! I found it on p180, clearly stated.... Yes, that is Geico wanted me to pass along. But I have spent 5 days and many phone calls to Tesla asking for the access. Here is reply finally came from Fremont today: "I have requested to have your vehicle data logs reviewed at this point...

I hope you are actually old enough to post here, I don't understand your state of mind. Making fun of people when they ask for your insight and support from the unfortunate situation is not funny. The witness who came back was a senior citizen who was driving behind me. It is important we face...

I actually do not know this feature, I will definitely try it when I get the car back. Thank you so much for the important information.

II wish, so I would be more inclined to use AP. I was surprised to meet the lead engineer of the my car at that situation. I had less than 10 min encounter with him when I crashed my MX. One of the parked cars I damaged could possibly related to his new company.

Although I have not used AP, here is Sterling Anderson's model behind MX Tesla's trump card: Sterling Anderson Director of Autopilot

Let's not take the presumption all of these owners were against Tesla. Most of us are die-hard early supporters, and are more than willing to take chances. My experience was totally not the acceleration by mistake: there is a small chance I somehow activated CC (which is unlikely to me but only...

well, not sure all 13 MX owners are FUD or on a fantasy island, or this is just fake news: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/04/tesla-says-there-is-no-legal-duty-to-design-a-failsafe-car/?comments=1

Yeah, I definitely didn't feel any level of "emergency brake" at the time of crash. I had hoped the log report will give the trajectory, images and rich data to assemble the whole picture, Maybe Tesla does have the story, just not telling me. It is really disappointing that when this accident...

Thanks, good point. When I talked to the supervisor, I asked her what she can help. She said she would talk to the roadside assistance team.... I am not sure I get that.

Why do you have problems of the technical person's comment on the value of data log? I will not respond to the personal attack in any level. I am a scientist, I am used to look at the data whenever available. Whether they are useful or not could be subjective, many of us just love technical...

The lawsuit case no wrong doing on his part. I wouldn't use "poaching" without supporting evidences. I do think Anderson has more extensive technical background on MX than some of us. On the other notes, I just called Tesla again about the data log since no one responded my repeated request in...

Sterling Anderson, the self driving lead, was at the crash site (which is on his new company site). He seemed well aware of the sudden acceleration issue in the early model. He also believed sensor log report should gave valuable data.

That is why I don't understand how I activated CC, I always have my hands on the wheel, especially left hand. I also regularly drive a car with a manual shift. Here are my frustrations: I called Tesla Palo Alto service team right on the crash site (a few thousands feet down the road) with vin...

My other cars either have buttons to move CC on and off, or two steps to get it activated. Nothing like sharing the same space for blinker in one click.....

Thank you so much for your analysis, AnxietyRanger. This is is the picture I have been going back and forth since the accident. Yes, I have P90D signature model. I have had Honda, Nissan, VW, Volvo, BMW, all equipped with cruise control. I never used the feature, but none of these cars...

I am still trying to wrap my head around this, while Tesla still not calling back to view the log. I want to understand, how fast you can react to avoid hitting the parked car when you make the right turn at probably 55 mph speed. The feeling of the car suddenly accelerated at a high speed...

local Tesla sc said there is not much to reveal from the data logs (she said only door opened etc...). So I am waiting for an appointment to go through it with a technician. Since it was not on cruise control before this moment, wouldn't it controlled to the speed limit? How did it accelerated...

I thought you have to do it with the left hand....

I am still trying to process what happened an hour ago... but I wanted to share this incredible accident today around lunch time While I was making a right turn from a local main road to a small road, not breaking or accelerating much as I always do, all of sudden, my MX accelerated on its own...

How did the car roll back? The break (w "H" sign on) seems quite sensitive. I am used to my manual shift, so I thought not rolling back has been a great feature for me.

Great advice, thank you so much!

Are there some sensors in the MX that detect Radar signals? There are some funny youtube clips showing a MS detecting parking ticket officer and self driving the car away

Well, my other cars don't accelerate that way. I was not driving in 60 mph, just accelerating :)

Maybe it is true that the model X is organic (Fremont SC people's words), it seems better now. But it is definitely a distraction to find the function key and change the fan speed while you are driving. I don't think auto mode works for me. Unlike the last time, most of my passengers are...

Got off highway and ramped to 35 mph local road in Mountain View today, I did not see the cop hiding or behind (now I am not used to look on the back), accelerated at 60 mph to pass a slow car ..... The cop followed me for quite some long distances, finally decided to pull me off: he was...

So, I am kind of relieved no tree branches did damage on the car sitting in the windy driveway during yesterday's "rain storm". Seeing the twigs around the car, I am still considering the cover. I am kind of worried that I am not tall enough to get the perhaps heavy cover up to its top...

I have never used garages for my cars for various reasons. Now I don't have one, and won't have one built at least for another year. I use MX for weekends, rather daily commute. It sits on my driveway in the SF bay area. Does an outdoor cover really makes big differences? Are there major...

Auto setting was what I had....It did not work well I think the problem could be the range mode (I am not with the car now) setting. There is not enough power to the heater or the air conditioner. I remember I did not feel warm and fussy enough like my other cars when the outside temperature...

Maybe this simply is my stupidity: after setting smart temp for 66 F, and fan at level 3, we felt no cooling effect in the car. The outside temp is around 81 F today while SEVEN of us headed to Foothill park. I can't believe Tesla would make me work so hard to get out of the misery, but I am too...

I saw an identical sig (except I have the CA license plate!) on 280 yesterday on my way to the city. I waved several times while we were side by side, but the guy was too cool to look at me or wave. Not sure if he is a newbie too absorbed on the car, or I really turned to an old lady in the...

Sure, we will give it a try.

So, I took the car back from the service center today. The report is fairly detailed: firmware is updated, so hopefully seat warning etc will be gone. However, I was disappointed that they concluded that the gaps and unevenness of the frunk and trunk cover to the body are within manufacturing...

I will drop my 7 seater to Palo Alto service center tomorrow morning. It may be there for a few days. Feel free to stop by.

What is the rate? My allstate has the highest rate (I have multiple cars and houses with them for more than 18 years) so far. So, new car coverage is some special item?

I gave my insurance agent (allstate) my sig vin today, the quote changed from $600/6 month two month ago, to $1200/6 month, which I think is based on the purchase price. Consider simplified EV structure, I wonder what are your MX insurance experiences?

Sig red, tan, CF, tow package BTW, this site seems pretty hard to use. Hope MX is easier....

Hi, just join in! I will pick up sig (vin 62x) tomorrow at the factory! Happy holiday to you all!
