I was driving my Model 3 yesterday when the tuick in front of me slammed on their brakes. I was going about 30 MPH at the time and AEB kicked in (sound, screen alert) and hard braking. The car broke so hard that the driver behind me did not have a chance to react and they hit me. Yes, it is their fault. However, if AEB had not taken over, I would have been able to leave more room between me and the truck in front of me. I actually had about 5-10 feet in front of me still. The AEB simply applied the brakes too hard. I read lots of other posts on this site and others about this concern. I am going to report this to Tesla when I have them inspect the car. I am also changing the Forward Collision Warning setting to "late" instead of the current default of "medium."
For the record, I love this car and it is by far this is the best car I have ever owned. But AEB can be improved and I have read complaints/concerns that span years now, and nothing seems to have improved in the software.
