Yes - with no traffic in front full acceleration is normal.Have you been able to try this merge zone without any traffic? It would be great to help isolate what may be triggering the throttle to cut off.

@Colby Boles Did you ever hear from the AP team?
I believe this OP, and no I don't think it is a knee jerk reaction. I have had the X do something similar and could have caused an accident. I have learned to not trust the car when making a left hand turn out of a parking lot.I hope this was not a knee jerk 'upgrade' from that Model X event where the person pushed the wrong pedal and blamed Tesla.
Took the words right out of my mouthWow, I gotta say that the odds of getting INTO an accident due to this feature is probably higher than the accident avoidance feature keeping you out of one.
There are a fair number of times where I'm patiently waiting for traffic to break just enough that I can make a 90 degree and floor it to keep up with traffic. Having the car be unresponsive is just a prescription for disaster.
Whenever I get my X back from the repair shop, I think I'll turn off that accident avoidance feature...
And even if you are about to hit something, the car should never override your inputs. If you are stucked on a railroad crossing, it is better that you hit the back of the car in front of you, than letting the train hit you from the side..
Well for one side there's another. Someone sued Tesla for not preventing the car from moving when detecting a wall in the way. I suspect this is related to that. Basically it's an anti-wrong pedal measure.Totally agree that the car should not prevent a driver from using the accelerator. My solution is that if the software sees me hit the accelerator AFTER it warned me and slowed the car, then I obviously want to over-ride its actions. Perhaps even hitting the accelerator twice in quick succession should also give me control of it.
But while on the subject of your comment, isn't it pretty stupid of a driver to sit on a railroad crossing in the first place? I've never done that and never will. Even if I don't see a train anywhere.
yes I guess so, but in 50 years of driving over 800,000 miles without an accident, I trust my feet and brain more than the Tesla.Well for one side there's another.

1. Would the Tesla have automatically stopped if I had not hit the brakes?
