What is the dumbest thing your Tesla does?

[KenC]

Ghost emergency steering trying to kill me, like when cutting turns or even neighborhood driving. Feature cannot be deactivated as it reactivates on next drive. Elon needs muzzled, otherwise more mediocre engineers will replace real talent to wreak havoc at Tesla.

Not understanding what you're talking about. Do you mean Lane Departure? I turned mine off, and it stays off.

I think he's experiencing steering interventions as a function of Lane Assist. The question is is Lane Assist a function of Lane Departure Avoidance. The user manual shows Lane Assist above Lane Departure Avoidance and doesn't list a way to disable Lane Assist.

Turning on the headlights in shade made by trees or buildings in a bright sunny day. I wish it was like the wipers, I turn it off and stays off, but keep DRL on.

Have you set your phone key as the primary?

My mom's phone key is the primary, since she's the main driver of the car. I forgot if I even have my own profile yet. I should check that out sometime.

The dumbest thing.....slaming on the brakes at 70 mph when the car thinks the shadow under an overpass is a solid wall.

It doesn’t go into drive the first 5 times I push down on the gear selector while depressing the brake

 

[Rottenapplr]

Despite the distance set to 7 it still brakes late in stop and go enoug where I feel I might be rear ended. I wish the car would chill the **** down and not accelerate quickly only to stop abruptly seconds later.

I get this too! I feel I need to wait two seconds press the brake then shift to drive.

There is a broad, sweeping curve on a state highway in my town. There is a long single story white building on that curve. For 2 years and 6 months now, almost every time I take my 2020 M3 down that state highway it thinks that building is a tractor trailer truck. An image of one even shows up on the screen. The car brakes hard, its collision alarm beeps loudly, the phantom tractor trailer on the touch screen turns red, and then the car realizes it's just a building. This always happens if I am in cruise control and usually (tho not always) happens even if I'm not in cruise control. Pretty stupid. What ever happened to machine learning?

The object/picture label team was downsized

even funnier is that massive (but invisible) semi truck inside my garage... or at least that's what my car tells me every time i park at home...

 

[OldEvo]

Those old school big, flat chrome front bumpers of oncoming semis really send my TACC into a panic on two lane highways. In the old pre-TACC days I usually covered the brake when using CC. Now I cover the accelerator pedal.

It seems a lot people have a semi in their garage. I also have a guy standing in front of the car that looks to me to be a large potted plant. But what do I know.

I have a ghost that stands next to the driver's side front wheel. There's nothing there but the garage wall.

Mine loves to hard brake at the crest of slight hills doing 80 mph. Scares the living daylights out of my wife and that's no good for my health

When you first get in your car, before you do anything else, tap your brake peddle (just tap and release - no need to hold it). This wakes up the car and let's it go through it's startup process which takes a few seconds. Then, when you hold the brake peddle and attempt to put into gear, it will happen on the first try.

Despite the distance set to 7 it still brakes late in stop and go enoug where I feel I might be rear ended. I wish the car would chill the **** down and not accelerate quickly only to stop abruptly seconds later.

Have you tried Chill mode? Makes a big difference on this. It doesn't completely eliminate it, just significantly reduces the herky-jerky.

Whenever I am in stop-and-go traffic, I switch to Chill and then take it back out once traffic opens up.

my car reliably ignores my iPhone 12 pro as key but oddly it works if i quickly unlock my phone. 50/50 chance

Is it possible that it has more to do with the phone being in front of you (i.e., facing the car) when you unlock it rather than the actual unlocking? I usually have my phone in my back pocket. It's pretty hit or miss with unlocking the car (usually miss) when the phone is in my back pocket vs. not having my butt in the way between the phone and car.

Really I never use chill mode. I'll try it. Great tip. Wish the car would be chill automatically in stop in go.

The miscellaneous times the wipers come on when trying to use AP and people around you looking at you like you don't know what you are doing
