Here is my response to the email I received from Tesla after filing a complaint to "escalate to exectutive review"
The generic email that I received back from Tesla is so weak!
I am kind of disappointed in the company.

Mr Cohen,
I appreciate your reply to my concern.
However, your reply was very generic and does not really explain what Tesla plans to do about fixing the issue, other than "logging my feedback in the system".
I certainly know that I am not the only one with this issue and that this is not the first time you have received this complaint regarding the autopilot.
Can you refer me to someone at Tesla that can actually answer my question and complaint on when this problem will be solved.
The recent firmware updates of my vehicle have made my autopilot not worth using.
I would have thought that detailed testing would be done before official firmware updates where released to customers that had the ability to make a five thousand dollar feature on their vehicle useless.
Why should I have to apply light resistance as the autopilot steers the vehicle and the vehicle is doing what it should be doing.
My commute is mostly southern California freeways, most of the commute is long straight sections of the freeway.
It is un-natural for me to have to apply light pressure to steer the wheel if the autopilot is keeping the vehicle in the center of the lane.
It is basically defeating the whole purpose of using autopilot in the first place.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Dear Mr. XXXX
Thank you for reaching out to Tesla Inc.
I am sorry hearing you are disappointed with the changes brought by the recent firmware updates of your vehicle. As you may know, Autosteer detects your hands by recognizing light resistance as the steering wheel turns, or from you manually turning the steering wheel very lightly.
With that said, I have well have logged your feedback in the system in order to bring it to the attention of our engineers.
We rely on the dedication of owners such as yourself to help us perfect and refine our vehicles, and we truly appreciate the input you have provided today. Please continue to keep us informed and be honest with anything that may arise in the future.
Thank you again for your comments and for the trust you place in us.
Kind Regards,

Just and update to my email to Mr David Cohen from Executive Care....
Nothing......
No response from him even acknowledging that he received the email reply from me.
No response that he will look into the problem or that the problem will be looked into by somebody else .....
Maybe there is a holiday in Amsterdam and he has not checked his email in 3 days.
I agree that something needs to be done about this autopilot screw-up from Tesla.
The simple solution is a touch-sensitive steering wheel Tesla!
NOT making the driver fight the autopilot steering (that is doing an excellent job of steering the vehicle) to let the car autopilot know that we are paying attention and have our hands on the wheel! This is just plain CRAZY!
