Autopilot disengage after 1 sec

[Snowball316]

Let me start by saying I have 2020 M3LR with 50k milage no FSD (no beta). I have use autopilot many times and familiar with how it works. Autopilot blinks blue, then chimes, and then stops if no response to the car all within a good amount of time. Lately I went on two road trips and notice instead of car behaving normally it blinks blue then red and disengages Autopilot in less than one second without an opportunity for me to respond. Eyes are forward towards the road, not looking down or on my phone.

. Just wondering if that is normal? I have log the bug to tesla and they it's "normal" and most likely impossible to duplicate at Service Center.

Have you tried a reboot? While chatting with a support person a few weeks ago, she mentioned that rebooting the car every couple weeks is often recommended, given software updates, etc.

Yes I have tried rebooting, but it happens so infrequent. Last time it happened was maybe 2 to 3 months ago? the most recent incident occurred on Aug 17th

2018 M3LR EAP/FSD here…same behavior. It began after updated to 2022.20.8. Interestingly it began not immediately with the update but after several hundred miles of normal operation. No idea why, no resolution either. Haven’t yet called for service as I’m out of 4-year warranty; I was really wishing the car would fix itself, but alas…

Thanks for confirming. I though it was just me. I can't understand why or what it may have caused it. Then shortly after these events with Autopilot, I have to pull over stop and Park-Drive the car in order to get the AP back on.

book a service anyway. Most of the time its handled remotely anyway at no charge to you.
If they end up getting as far as a real visit you can call it off at that point.

Could be a faulty camera or loose connection.......or a software flaw that only shows occasionally.

Are any of you using, or have used in the past, a nag defeat device?

Warranty just expired do you think SC will still diagnose? I did mention this in the past.

Yes they will. At your cost of course.
