I want to lodge a complaint about features, and I can't, because I need to be a verified owner? My username and password is attached to my car... what else do they want from me?
This beeping warning crap has got to stop. This forcing you into safety features that WILL cause accidents needs to stop. I can't go through a drive thru without getting beeps at least 10 times, warning me that I may hit a curb that I see in front of me and will not hit. I have had a time where I was close to a parked car on a busy street, and needed to accelerate into 45 mph traffic quickly when the car automatically applied brakes thinking I would hit the car in front of me that I would not have hit. That sudden brakes with my diagonal into traffic almost caused a car accident.
I also had a moment where I needed to suddenly merge out of a lane of traffic into another, and my vehicle tried to force me back into the lane I was in, thinking I was drifting and was going to get in an accident if it didn't correct my driving habits! The last thing I need is having to make a split second decision, and then my car beeping at me, drawing my eyes to a console that's warning me of what I can already see and am making evasive maneuvers to avoid!
I'm 38 with no joke, 1mil+ miles under my belt (no exaggeration). In my lifetime I've had 0 at fault accidents, and very few actual accidents in general. I learn my vehicle to the point where I know it's exact drift limits in wet and dry conditions. I've been able to take past vehicles and do a 180 degree drift into a parking space and end up perfectly centered and straight. While the Tesla focuses on making sure you never drift, the point is that I know any vehicle I choose to drive extremely well, and don't need buzzers to let me know what's going on. I appreciate the visible notifications as to how close I'm getting to a curb stop I can't see, and that has been helpful, but I don't need it beeping because I'm backing up next to some overhanging plants I can see and I'm about to hit a solid object according to the Tesla, and it will destroy my vehicle. It's some leaves... leave me alone!
