I've just finished my first long motorway drive after finally venturing out of rural Suffolk.
I was hoping autopilot would make the journey nice and painless, but it kept me on my toes and made me look like a bit of a tool. Multiple times while in adaptive cruise (non-FSD model 3) the car would slam the brakes on without warning and no message on the screen. The common denominator for all occurrences seemed to be bridges over the motorway - they seemed to spook the car into hitting the brakes. It was very dull, dark and wet these last couple of days, so I'm wondering if the cameras were struggling.
Is this a common phenomenon? Or should I have a whinge to Tesla? It doesn't seem very safe, and for the time being I'm glad I didn't pay for FSD. It still seems rather glitchy.
On a lighter note, the car LOVED the amount of cones on the M6, it was in its element
