We didn't know the term of Phatom Braking before we took our late June Telsa Y out for a road trip from Portland to Yellowstone. When it first happened, it freaked the hell out of the whole car!!! and we started trying to find some sort of consistency of when it would happened... but it's never predictable for us... but few occasions are predictable 1) when there's a motorcycle coming out from the other side, 2) when it's very windy, (when we drove back from the Columbia Gorge, it just constantly braking, I seriously thought we needed to take the car in for service 3) when the speed is higher than 65mph, it happens more frequently, hence we believed it's the carphantom breaking happens every time i travel south on hwy 15 heading towards San Diego, it usually happens when traveling under overpass, not sure if its because cameras are seeing temporary shadows or what but it’s real. It always happens, it’s frustrating. If i can i will record a video of it happening since it’s fairly predictable of when/ where it occurs
has anybody examed the camera?? I wonder if there's something flying through the camera like bugs or dirt causes the camera freaked out more? Has anybody made the comparison between the model (radars) and ones that they said camera based (since May of this year??) I am curious where I can find data or comparison of which one causes more?! has Tesla made any official acknowledgement that this is a real problem? I sometimes believe it's a real hazard especially when we were driving on Montana highway where everybody was going 80+ mph and the sudden braking like those, could really cause accidents, isn't that so??
