Hi all. After a year of planning and a month of waiting I finally pick up my 70D this afternoon in Las Vegas. I have read the posts on AP and although I am an East Coast driver, I am careful. So, here is my ride home from Vegas on I-15
Waited until out of city traffic and used AP, very light traffic. Traveling 80 in a 75 zone. Left lane. No problems. Did great. Kept hands on or near wheel. No screwing around. After around 50 miles of traveling, I moved into right lane. Drove past a rest stop area and car jerked into the exit lane. I admit that I was relaxed (isn't that what its for?), but the sudden departure off the expressway doing 80mph was scary. No traffic, so I just took control and used entrance ramp to re enter expressway. Almost every time I came to exit ramp while in right lane, I had to take control.
I ran into Tesla employees at supercharger and told them the story. They acknowledged the tendency and told me a fix was coming.
Do not relax, especially in right lane!! What a day. Love my new car.
