Hey guys. Thanks for all of your feedback and excellent info. It's very interesting to note that this problem has been ongoing and some people experience it while others do not and the hardware level of the vehicle (sensors vs vision) does not appear to make much of a difference with recent updates.
I was not aware that there was a separate section for discussing phantom braking* (thanks for the correction) and not in the vehicle section itself. I did see topics related to it because I searched around before posting but the threads I did find were older and I thought with all of the updates the car receives they may not be applicable to my situation.
I really really wanted to like my Tesla and I got it exclusively for these long 7-8 hour trips through the desert where we are driving in almost a straight line for 100+ mile stretches. Unfortunately, at this time it's not really usable for that (with TACC or any type of automation). I'll do a few more of these trips over the coming months and report in and also keep an eye on the other subthreads.
