Better visibility, especially for non-tall people (i.e. short and medium sized folk).Perhaps I've missed something, but why would you unbuckle your seatbelt to back up?
I'm not sure if you meant 4.0 or if you've got 4.1 or somesuch but...I tested this "lift your weight" issue this evening. While reversing the car, I lifted my weight completely off the seat and the car did not engage the brakes or do anything. I have the latest software version. I wonder if they fixed the issue.
I can confirm that it still happens in v4.0 and that the seatbelt solution worked fine. My speed was roughly 5mph in a parking lot and it was very uncomfortable in a whiplashy kind of way.
Was your belt buckled? Unbuckle and try again.
It had been previously confirmed that if you leave the seatbelt on, then it will not shift to park in this situation.I can confirm this happens if you are in reverse, with seat belt off and lift yourself a bit off the seat to reverse, the car shifts into N and then immediately into P. Seems to happen more often if there is a little bit of a sudden forward motion during the reversing (such as the tires hitting a small bump in the road or garage sill and you have no real rear momentum). I am on Version 4.2 so if they need to tweak it, this has still not been done in the latest version. Maybe it is just a simple security measure with the car thinking someone has jumped out of the car but a lot of people lift their weight to see being them when reversing.
Agreed. If a car automatically shifts to park or engages the parking brake at speeds above a parking speed, it would be a very dangerous future.This behavior sounds dangerous for anything other than a stopped car. Having the seat detection glitch at highway speed, ...... would be catastrophically dangerous.
Why not use tow mode?According to my Tesla valet, if the seatbelt is engaged it doesn't matter if you lift your butt off the seat. He gamed the system by locking the passenger seatbelt into the driver's seatbelt buckle. It did work; that's how he loaded the car into the trailer.
