    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    Tesla automatically saves video recordings from all of its cameras if you honk. So, my car operated the camera in this case. I exported the saved footage from my backup camera, uploaded to my youtube channel and provided a link here.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    I am glad it stopped for you and didn't hit the other car. I had the same feeling when this happened as well. I was quite certain I had hit the other car but it was just that feeling of hard brake.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    That is probably what happened in my case as well. My foot was still in the acceleration, I probably override the first one but Tesla braked again because it realized I was about to crash.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    I agree, Tesla should look into this feature and make sure it works for everyone.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    Sorry to hear about your incident. On my case I think it worked because the other car was in motion the whole time. I wish the warning signs would come up much sooner. I have the backup camera blacking out problem as well, did so many bug reports but still does that frequently.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    That all makes sense. Sometime it is just hard to back into parking spaces though, especially in busy parking lots. But I agree, it is much safer that way.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    Sorry to hear about your accident. I agree that Tesla needs to focus on more safety features than entertainment features. Like many cars, I wish Tesla could beep as soon as you turn on the blinkers and there is a car in the blind spot.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    Auto honk would save so many accidents! Hope they make this a feature in the future :)

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    Wow, that is crazy! I am sorry you had to pay that much. Also, I understand the pain of high insurance premium.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    I am so sorry to hear about your accident. Did you get it taken care of? On a bright side, you at least didn't have to repair the other car. Yeah on my case I think it stopped because the other car was moving.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    I agree, it is a really nice feature. I like the idea of "auto honk" that some folks have suggested here :)

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    I am sorry to hear about your accident. It definitely took me a while to get used to driving my M3 as it was my first EV.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    I am glad your car didn't have any damages after the incident. I didn't know it could apply emergency braking on reverse as well. But it did on this case and I am very thankful. I hope Tesla make their safety features consistent and continue making them safer over time.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    Sorry to hear about your accident. On my case, I think it braked because the other car was also moving.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    I am sorry to hear about your accident. On my case, I think it braked because the other car was moving. My friend had a similar situation where his Model 3 braked for a person who came flying on his scooter.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    I started looking into my settings after this happened and turns out the emergency braking is same setting for everyone. It is always turned on by default. What you can adjust is the forward collision warning, which mine is set to average I believe.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    Haha I try to be careful. It was a male driving the other car, so not your X-wife :) but he wasn't paying attention!!

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    I honestly don't know why it did that. It all happened so quick! I wonder if it applied 2 emergency braking? The first one was more of a "soft brake" though. I was relieved to know that the emergency braking works while in reverse :)

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    Yes, I am amazed that my model 3 reacted very quickly.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    I totally agree. I am thankful Tesla reacted super quickly but it is very disappointing to see people not paying attention.

    My model 3 prevented a crash by applying emergency braking while in reverse

    Just wanted to share my experience with everyone here. About two weeks ago, I was backing up from a parking spot and this other car rapidly backed up without checking his surroundings and almost crashed into my car. I was nervous and my foot was in acceleration, as I was in reverse. It all...

    After FSD 3.0, Summon accident!!! Crashed my bumper and hood

    That sucks, sorry to hear about your accident. I have had very close calls with smart summon when it backs up from a parking spot. One day, I was showing off this feature to my friend who was parked next to me and my Model 3 started turning right away instead of backing up. ALMOST crashing into...

    Anyone got HW3 retrofit yet?

    I got mine a couple of months ago. I kept scheduling appointments and after the 3rd time, they finally said they had my VIN ready. Everything was erased (including the odometer). I had setup my phone, garage opener, home address, EVERYTHING. They did lose my keycard and I didn't have the second...

    2020.24.6.4 !

    Thanks for checking, I was hoping they would have fixed that bug.

    2020.24.6.4 !

    I just got the update as well, nothing new, so I am assuming just bug fixes. My car wasn't letting me go over 5 mph on city streets since the last update (2020.24.6.1) so hoping this one fixed that bug.

    Full self driving capability

    Hi Michelle, congrats on your decision to purchase a Tesla! I think you will really enjoy it. Regarding FSD vs Autopilot, a few things to consider: -Ownership: If you are planning on keeping your car for a long time, FSD is definitely worth it, especially as Tesla keeps raising the price...
