All of that refers to the S85D. No reports of higher speed for P85D yet.further down in this thread scepticmatt clarifies that one of the owners doing 250kph was on 6.1....200 and one was on 6.2
Once again, for people who don't deem to get this: collision avoidance and emergency braking are different algorithms. The latter only fires if the car is sure you are about to have an unavoidable collision. It isn't to avoid a collision, it is to minimize the impact. Collision avoidance is designed to get your damn attention so you can take action and therefore is on a much more hair trigger. Lots of cars have had emergency braking for years. This isn't some fly by night feature.

I was hoping Valet Mode would lock out the ability to disable Remote Access. That't the first thing a Valet would turn off if they decide to go for a joyride :cursing:
That's what engineering and testing is for. If you are worried about this, let me tell you about the dozens of other decisions the car (and airplanes and trains and medical devices) is making for you every day. If Tesla screws this up, then it's certainly on them for not doing proper safety critical development and they will surely pay. But if you assume they can't get this right, then I don't know why you'd trust the rest of the car with your life either.
Correct. Valet disclaims responsibility for damage or theft. You might win a claim if there is clear negligence.
It doesn't? That seems like a pretty daft omission! Although, in general, turning off remote access is essentially grounds for complaint anyway and if the valet mode at least makes the Tesla drive like a smart car that might be good enough protection.
I agree it is an omission, but I suspect 50% of owners don't even know how to turn that off! (exaggeration) But my point is, that I suspect a joy riding car thief isn't likely to head to that feature unless they're really a pro. I would think that 99% or better the remote access won't be touched and we'll be able to track and set valet mode remotely without any problem.
I do hope that they'll allow for even slower speed (via a slider like the one used for air suspension) and disable the ability to disable remote access.
Probably not an exaggeration. Perhaps I'm blind, but I couldn't find it in the manual. How do you disable remote access?
