Hello all!
I'm a new owner of model Y. I'm still learning about the car, trying to get used to various Autopilot quirks. There's one thing that's been bothering me quite a bit, and it's the way the car gives a jerk when disengaging AP. I'm referring to the mode that you get into by double push of right stock. I tried several ways of disengaging- pushing the stock up, applying brakes, and steering force. The first two methods are totally ok, but the last method (steering force) is pretty scary.
The first time I tried, the car wanted to change the lane and I decided not to. So, I resisted by holding the steering tight. It did disengage AP but with such a jerk that I struggled to stay in the lane straight. It was a pretty scary experience. Over a few weeks of time, I tested that method a number of times (sometimes resisting to change and sometimes forcing to change) and the behavior was consistent every time.
I took it to Tesla service center for inspection, and after the test, they said, to my disbelief, that the behavior is normal! While I was waiting there I requested for a test drive of another model Y and they did let me. The car I test drove didn't behave erratically like mine. It was smooth. I told them that but they didn't think mine was too jerky. They recommended using the first two methods which is fine but I'm not willing to accept something that doesn't feel normal with my brand new car.
I'm wondering if any of you feel the jerkiness with autopilot especially when disengaging by steering force. Is that something you get used to over time? Is there a setting that makes a difference? I'm scheduled to go back to service center again in 10 days, and I'm trying to find out what others' experiences are. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
