Man. This is really cool stuff. Nice observations and systematic analysis (while also explaining your assumption on the angle of the lines).OK. Just some things I noticed that I thought were interesting...

Sounds like an attention whore to me. His mommy didn't show him enough love.Your hired.
I guess he wouldn't have made the news and got all the attention he clearly craves if he said "I was going 54mph in a 60 and my screen froze up and said I was going 83".

If he was a car person, he would know what brakes do, and wouldn’t have pulled out his phone and video’d for quite some time. Obviously looking for a lawsuit payout.Most likely he is more like a car person than a computer nerd.
Lots of people don't realize that Tesla is a computer on wheel and they freak out when the screen is frozen as they assume that a frozen screen means the end of the driving function.
From my own experience, a malfunctioning Tesla screen has never affected the driving function. Just like him, I originally thought the signal lights and emergency would be dead too but no, the sound is dead but the lights are still functioning when it happens at night and I could see the light reflection or during days and I could see the reflection from the cars in front and behind.
Thus, it's a matter of education but both the press and Tesla have failed to educate this owner and the public about the reliability of the propulsion system despite frozen screens.
So if the engine quit on an ICE vehicle and the driver had zero power, no power brakes, no power steering, that would somehow be different? It happens every single day, somewhere. Multiple times.The owner has a legit concern from the perspective that if while he was pulling over through traffic, the accelerator did not work. if he tapped the brake once, does it automatically go into regen and start slowing down? does it accelerate back up to whatever speed it was going when he lets off of the brake, etc?
The fact that his screen was locked up is not an issue, but he's showing video of him stepping on the throttle and the car not doing anything. That is an issue.
Steering is electric, actually.I still think this is an example of good engineering. Some rare event happens that renders controllers/computer inactive (could happen in any car). So instead of dying, it keeps doing the thing you last commanded (83 MPH) until you intervene. Then when it is safe to pull over, you use the brake and pull over. They seem to have designed the car with this in mind. The accelerator is by-wire but the steering and brakes are mechanically connected and can be used for manual control if needed to pull over safely.

If it was, the Roadside Assistance would not approve a tow and if it was towed, the owner would be stuck with the tow bill. The fact that the Service Center diagnosed, found a fault, and resolved the issue meant something technologically did happen and it's not imagination....Another utter bullshit story (clickbait) from our MSM...

Almost all cars are now.
But yes, the brakes are still hydraulic, as God intended.
She also intended the steering to still be hydraulic, but that’s another discussion….

Even Infiniti's drive by wire system has a mechanical backup that kicks in when the electrical system is out:The steering is mechanically connected, actually.
With an electric assist.
I owned a 1024 Q50 hybrid. The hybrids come standard with DAS (Direct Adaptive steering). I just loved it. It enabled a lane keeping assist (think autopilot) that worked better than the ProPilot II third generation that was in my short lived Leaf. It also resisted tramlining and crosswinds in normal driving. It was like a video game. Just point it where you want it to go. It had been criticized as lacking "feel" but it made it up in precision.Even Infiniti's drive by wire system has a mechanical backup that kicks in when the electrical system is out:
What It's Like To Drive Infiniti's Crazy Drive-By-Wire Steering Tech
Most likely this is required by law so that you can still steer even if you lose power assist.
At highway speed it's still easy to steer even without power assist. It becomes much more difficult at lower speeds, and for some people impossible when the vehicle is stationary.So if the engine quit on an ICE vehicle and the driver had zero power, no power brakes, no power steering, that would somehow be different?
