I'm sorry your only interpretation of facts, literally cited from the operators manual, is 'balderdash'
If you keep operating the car incorrectly you can keep expecting problematic results- but you do you I guess.
The user manual says "Autosteer is intended for use only on
highways and limited-access roads with a fully
attentive driver."
Phantom braking happens on TACC as well, so I don't know why the zealots in here keep droning on about that one section.
It's not the same on all cars. We drove 2 2020 TM3P in the same lane right after another, only 1 had a phantom braking occur, and it happened 3 times. We both cleaned the windshield before testing.
I recorded my car braking from 110km/h to 90km/h in less that 1 second when passing a truck. If you round up that's 0.57G, which is a lot when it comes unexpectedly.
The emergency brake system is meant to react to possible dangers. A shadow isn't a potential danger, but the car brakes. Most software companies would consider that a bug. In this case the bug is in detecting possible dangers, not the actual brake event.
The model 3 brakes really hard compared to a bunch of other car brands when they phantom brake. Yes, some companies made it even worse, but they were recalled. All other cars I've tested have much softer phantom braking, which is why people are reacting the way they do with the hard phantom braking done by the TM3. People are comparing it to other cars, they're not comparing it to actual emergency braking.
Honestly, all this arguing about petty details. Just a grain of leniency and pragmatism from either side and this whole thread would be dead long ago. Like children arguing about who has the strongest dad.
BTW, my dad can do 50 pull-ups.
