EAP and FSD price at UK

I more or less gave up on using automation due to too many 'episodes'. Today I was on the A5 at night and stuck in a 30mph queue so activated TACC. About a half mile later the car tried to swerve violently into a side road. My grip on the wheel was good enough to hold it from jumping more than a few feet to the left. So much for my FSD investment..
I’m wondering if it tried to swerve due to a break in the road markings. I find that when using AP/TACC on motorways I sometimes have to switch it off temporarily or be ready to counteract any violent serving/drifting at junction turnoffs where there is a break in the continuous/dashed lines.
Should be such an easy problem to solve before claiming FSD is coming at the end of the year.
There is the option of a two or four year extended warranty. circa £2428 for 4 years i think?

The road markings were clear. TACC is supposed to just follow the car in front and stay centred in it’s lane unless indicators are activated. It’s not a difficult algorithm.
There was a frequently used different bit of A5 where it did the same about 3.5 years ago... violent swerve into a side road slip on a 60mph stretch then drop out to return control when it baulked at the sharp turn. I used to have to disengage, approaching that bit after the first scary time. That got sorted with an update but appears to be happening again. One can only assume that car believes the road is splitting into an extra lane and it’s choosing the left one. This is fundamental stuff - the car not looking far enough ahead or referencing any sort of route map or correctly identifying a junction.
I ended up doing a Section 75 claim against my credit card on my first Model 3 when they failed to meet the "coming by the end of the year" claim and failed to disclose a number of things requiring driver input (land changes etc). It took a bit of doing but I had 90% of the purchase price refunded as the basic summon capabilities worked as described.
I work for a self driving car company and I’m not optimistic about level 5 anytime soon. Maybe 10 years, tech might get their sooner than legislation.
90% back refund. That's good going. Did Tesla even turn up, I persume this is on the price of FSD, not the whole car?

Nope. Never did. I suppose because it was a section 75 and not a straight chargeback, it fell through the cracks of their finance department.
I really like my EAP and consider it a good purchase. The vast majority of my driving is with EAP engaged and it has only gotten better with the move to vision.
Interesting how people have such varied experiences.
FSD though is a joke in the UK. I'd probably pay for it if we had the same beta as the US, as the tech interests me and also as a speculative purchase.

I’ve never bothered with NOA but I do find the lane changes when you flick the indicator incredibly slow. Getting up to speed when trying to overtake also takes an age and I’m left having to manually accelerate.
I do use summon all the time, probably the best feature of EAP IMO

What's the secret to get the summon to work?
I can only get it to work sometimes, with sentry mode off or on. In open air carparks and stood close by.
