So this was a first. While new to the Tesla, I learned you can press on the accelerator to go faster while on autopilot and it will still auto steer, and it will go back to its set cruising speed when you take foot off.
But this time, I accelerated too fast and I think I got up to 90 mph, and then it did the warning chime w/ the red steering wheel icon, warning me autopilot is discontinued and to take back control of car.
Then later I try turning autopilot on, and the car punishes me saying "autopilot unavailable for rest of drive, due to speeding". I was kinda nervous I was like banned for a day from using autopilot. So I had to exit the freeway and pull into a gas station to park, lock the car, unlock it, and go back in to start a new drive. And thankfully, it let me use autopilot when I parked the car and re-entered it. It's a minor inconvenience that's enough to teach a lesson, but at least it's much better than being banned for a week from using autopilot.
I didn't know you could be banned from using autopilot. What other types of punishments can the Tesla take against you to not use autopilot?
