Hi everyone,
So I understand that AP 2.0 is still "beta" which is kind of frustrating to begin with because I purchased my AP 2.0 Model S in December and its almost May and I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel when a fully rolled out version will become available. Anyway now that I have gotten that out of the way I want to state that AP 2.0 with its TACC is downright dangerous in a ton of day-to-day situations. And here's how:
1) When I turn on AP 2.0 while driving on a highway the car swerves like a bloody drunk person sometimes veering so close to the vehicles in adjacent lanes that I have no option but to take over. Its just friggin dangerous?
2) At other instances the car chooses to slam on the brakes while going on curves at highway speeds. Like without any rhyme or reason it'll literally brake so hard for a second that it's enough to make an un-belted passenger fly out of the windscreen.
3) At certain occasions I have experienced that going under bridges and overpasses it momentarily again slams the brakes. Like what the heck Tesla? What the heck!?
4) Lane changing is another horror to tackle altogether. While driving in AP 2.0 with autosteer when I turn on the indicator to change lanes and when it has executed the lane change and I switch of the indicator, the bloody car just keeps on going till I have to take over, otherwise it would fly into the shoulder.
All of these dangerous situations considered I feel its a miracle my car hasn't slammed into another vehicle or that someone else hasn't rear-ended me terribly by now. I am so disappointed with this useless and irresponsible roll out of AP 2.0. If Tesla cannot ensure its technology to work safely then why roll it out at all? Why don't just test it at your own facilities and roll it out only when you're quadruply sure. Until then just give us regular old non-TA Cruise Control. But to roll out half baked "features" like this that can cause accidents is downright awful.
My question to everyone on the forum are the following
1) Have you experienced such scares with AP 2.0?
2) Is there a way to engage cruise control without any of the radar and ultrasonic bs and just activate regular plain-Jane cruise control? Asking because I am sick and tired of this extra "Intelligent" car that keeps scaring the crap out of me and my family at highway speeds.
3) Any idea as to when AP 2.0 will be rolled out non-beta without any glitches?
Thanks in advance for your responses
