It would be, if the distinction was real.
Can you please refer me (and the rest of us on this forum) to any Tesla links that document that distinction?
Not what you think, believe, or would like to see, but what Tesla declares as 100% appropriate situations for using EAP?
I certainly did not see any such references after re-reading the Tesla Model 3 manual earlier today, but perhaps, there is another AEP-specific document that clarifies this.
Tesla TM3 manual is written to CYA for all possible EAP issues under all conceivable scenarios, and it makes no distinction to which you are alluding. Cross-traffic or not, traffic in lanes (partially or fully) or empty road, highways speeds or not, straight roads or curvy - there are disclaimers that declare that EAP may not work under any and all of the above scenarios.
Which is a right thing to document if you are a Tesla lawyer.
But it is an extremely unhelpful set of instructions to read if you are a Tesla owner.
Per TM3 manual, nothing in EAP is expected to work right.
If it does - consider yourself lucky. But expect a fail, and be ready to take over. At all times.
Which is fine with me.
But I think it's grossly unreasonable to blame another driver for having used EAP under wrong circumstances and gotten into an accident.
There are no right circumstances to rely on EAP, per TM3 manual.
Caveat emptor.
Thanks for the post, that is my impression too reading the manual. So basically it is to use it at your own risk, or not use it at all(or even not order it in the first place).
