model 3 stopping while backing out of garage

[Fordsimmo]

While very slowly backing out of our tight squeeze garage the Tesla sometimes stops abruptly. Today it did that and threw itself into P where it froze for a short period of time- could not move the vehicle.
We have a flag hanging off of the garage that is behind and to the left of the vehicle and it sometimes waves in the wind. Could this be creating a "pedestrian stop" warning?

Also when starting up the nav screen often pops up with a strange destination and starts navigating there. Any ideas?

You either need to keep your butt in the seat or have your seat belt buckled. If your seat belt isn't buckled and it detects you lift your butt/shift your weight it thinks you are exiting the vehicle and shifts into park.

Yeah, below 5mph it will shift into park if you jiggle too much without your seatbelt on.

And it will automatically guide you to whatever destination is on your Google calendar at that time.

Driving in Reverse, MY "shifts to Park"

While my wife is reversing out of our garage, the car shifts to "park" after a few feet. She will go back into reverse, and it will do the same (shift to park). However, this is an intermittent issue...really bugs her. She is alone in the car, fully charged, no obstructions, same parking...
