Hi Mike, Thanks for the data point and we are glad you are safe. Can you confirm your report would be the following:
AP1 car looses AEB when mcu fails.
I'm tryng to gather the facts from your experience and made a few assumptions:
1 your mcu has failed (black screen)
2 your mcu is presently in your car
3 you were so close to a car that AEB would have kicked in under normal circumstances while driving 55 mph.
Hopefully SC can get you repaired quickly, if not we may be able to help you drive with restored MCU functionality sooner.
Exactly, yes. Not tailgating car, though momentarily distracted to point where I *definitely* would have had the nag and I’ve convinced myself AEB would have kicked in. I missed the other car by going beside them under severe braking.
MCU had completely failed, and this was driving on way to SC. My animated contention was htf was this not covered by breakdown service and do they accept liability. They took the car in immediately and one denied AEB was effectively disabled.
Was covered, and already fixed, under extended warranty, though Tesla should provide what is known reduced functionality, doubly so for safety features.
