TESLA MODEL 3 DUAL MOTOR-WITH AUTOPILOT ADDITION TO PURCHASE VEHICLE HAS REPEATEDLY DEMONSTRATED ABERRANT BEHAVIOR WHEN IN “AUTOPILOT” MODE. DURING FREEWAY DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAS “MISSENSED” LANE SPACING AND UNEXPECTEDLY ATTEMPTED TO DIVERGE OR SWERVE, EXIT OR TURN OUT OF OR OFF OF THE LANE WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHEN AN OFFRAMP OR CHANGE IN THE LANE DEFINITION OCCURS AND IS NOT “REGULAR”. SUCH AS A LANE THAT FOR SOME REASON IS NOT MARKED WITH A NORMALLY DEFINED WIDTH, OR A BREAK IN THE LINES THAT DEFINE THE LANE. DURING FREEWAY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE HAS SUDDENLY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON, DRASTICALLY REDUCED ITS SET SPEED DURING AUTOPILOT DRIVING. WE WERE DRIVING IN RELATIVELY STRAIGHT, CLEAR AND UNOBSTRUCTED LANES ON OPEN HIGHWAY WITH NO TRAFFIC OBSTACLES. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OUR VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATED BACKWARDS WHEN SET IN DRIVE. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHEN WE ARE BACKING UP TO MAKE A 3 POINT EXIT UP OUR DRIVEWAY. AFTER BACKING UP, STOPPING WITH OUR FOOT ON THE BREAK, AND SETTING THE CAR IN DRIVE, IT REPEATEDLY MOVED BACKWARDS. WE HAD TO RESET THE POWER, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, PHYSICALLY GET OUT AND PUSH CAR FORWARD IN NEUTRAL TO AVOID BACKING INTO OUR GARAGE. THIS CONCERN WAS REPORTED WITH VIDEO EXAMPLES TO TESLA REPAIR CENTER. WE TOOK THE CAR THERE, THEY EXAMINED IT AND DID NOT FIND OUT WHY IT WAS DOING THIS. SINCE IT WAS EXAMINED, THE CAR HAS REPEATED THIS BEHAVIOR. I HAVE NOT YET REPORTED THE REPEATED INCIDENT, AS I HAVE 0 CONFIDENCE THAT THEY WILL SOLVE THIS CONCERN.

I COULD NOT UPLOAD VIDEOS THAT I HAVE OF THE CAR BEHAVING THIS WAY.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
While in the cruise control mode my car will periodically come to an abrupt slowdown. Often when I’m on the freeway and I am very concerned that one day I will be rear ended by the cars totally unexpected slow down. It has happened at least 30 times in my Tesla model 3

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
The "traffic aware" cruise control automatically slows the car when entering a portion of highway with a reduced speed limit. Sounds good in theory and Tesla says this is intentional and cannot be modified in settings. However, suddenly slowing down from 65 mph to 45 mph when all traffic PERSISTS at 65 mph could lead to rear end collisions or loss of control.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Received a recall notice in Nov. 2022. In Dec. I was putting something in the back seat, when I closed the door my fingernail was clipped by the window as it retracted to close. The back and front windows retract whenever the doors are open. For no apparent reason that I can figure out. They close when the doors are shut but if your finger is in the way it's going to get caught as my fingernail did. I was lucky it was only the nail as the windows retract with a bit of force.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
On my morning commute to work, while using ADAS equipment, vehicle swerved harshly to the right from the right lane in an attempt to take an exit off the highway even though I had not signaled an intention to take the exit. Then, while on a straight, clearly marked highway, vehicle “phantom braked” harshly 3x even though there were no obstructions or cause for hard braking. There were no other vehicles in front of me or debris/items in the road. This sudden braking has become more common and could pose a safety risk to other drivers or cause an accident if my vehicle were to stop unexpectedly. Windshield was also clear and there was no fog/rain/or other conditions that could impede ADAS camera operation.

Potential Consequences:
I was on I-15 in Utah on 1/29/2023 appoximately 2:00. I was attempting to pass in the left lane so the cars behind were following quite closely. I entered into some Snow Flurries and the car hit the brakes. I barely avoided a 3 car pile up because of this behavior. It appears that this feature for Emergency Braking encountered a false Positive which my family and I barely survived.
