ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I just got T-Boned in my 2022 Model Y performance. I got out of the vehicle which wasn't in terrible condition, in fact the left side of the vehicle was still perfect and the doors worked fine. I had my dog with me and everyone was okay, but I opened my door and the back passenger door to grab a jacket and check on my dog. I shut the doors to make sure he didn't run out and was a bit out of it because of the accident impact so I took a moment to compose myself.. All of the car's lights flickered and then the electric cut off leaving the doors completely locked and inoperable even though they had just been used moments before and were not damaged in the accident. I had to climb in through a shattered glass window to get my dog as all the doors wouldn't open from the outside and I was unable to access the glove box, nor pry it open because the electricity was out and the impact caused that door to make the side panel to unlock the glove box manually accessible. If the car DID catch fire or an occupant were bleeding out: Anyone inside, unconscious, would be unable to use the manually release and would be burned alive while people pull on doors that won't open that were undamaged in the accident and working 60 seconds before. From what I have read the only solution would be to jump the car using the 12V battery in the Frunk of which the Tow company and Emergency Responders were not familiar with.

Corrective Action:
I just got T-Boned in my 2022 Model Y performance. I got out of the vehicle which wasn't in terrible condition, in fact the left side of the vehicle was still perfect and the doors worked fine. I had my dog with me and everyone was okay, but I opened my door and the back passenger door to grab a jacket and check on my dog. I shut the doors to make sure he didn't run out and was a bit out of it because of the accident impact so I took a moment to compose myself.. All of the car's lights flickered and then the electric cut off leaving the doors completely locked and inoperable even though they had just been used moments before and were not damaged in the accident. I had to climb in through a shattered glass window to get my dog as all the doors wouldn't open from the outside and I was unable to access the glove box, nor pry it open because the electricity was out and the impact caused that door to make the side panel to unlock the glove box manually accessible.

Potential Consequences:
I was sideswiped by another vehicle which just joined our direction of traffic coming out of a cutout. As soon as I saw the vehicle moving fast from inside the cutout to join our direction and into my lane, I immediately decided to move to the lane next to me. I was at the leftmost lane at the time. Halfway into the lane I just felt the violent impact of the other vehicle hitting us. My wife and I were shaken so bad, we were shocked and terrified at what just happened and what else might happen to us. I felt like we were travelling on the front wheels with our rear end up in the air. Next thing we knew, the car stopped in front of a tree. Our iphones and the our car's phone called 911. We were pulled out of the car and taken immediately into an ambulance and Orange Global Hospital, where we stayed for about 2 days. X rays, CT Scan and MRI were taken. NOTE: A ROD STICKING OUT FROM THE FLOOR HIT MY WIFE during the accident. This rod was connected to the wheel and was not supposed to be stick out inside the car during an accident! I BELIEVE THAT A DEFAULT IN CAR DESIGN CAUSED THIS ROD TO HIT MY WIFE , WHICH CAUSED SO MUCH PAIN, DOCTORS COMPARED HER BRUISED RIBS TO BROKEN RIBS!!

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
I've had Enhanced autopilot since June 24 2022. Since that time I've accumulated approximately 15,000 miles, with approximately 80% being auto pilot miles. On May 14th my car was upgraded to "Full Self Driving (Supervised)" without my consent. I was given 30 days of FSD trial, with no way to opt out. I was presented with a software upgrade that looked like a normal upgrade, however after the upgrade I was told I had FSD. I immediately disabled FSD, only enabling autopilot (Highway only), and attempted a drive from Fairfield, CA to Concord CA along [XXX]. During the drive, the car was not able to maintain lane control, and would suddenly apply hard braking randomly. On two occasions the car accelerated towards stopped traffic, and I had to disengage autopilot. I ended up manually driving the car as it was unsafe to use to assistive systems. I contacted Tesla, who said they where unable to remove the FSD trial, and I was stuck with the upgrade, even though it made the car unsafe to drive.

The screws of front left lower control arm my Model Y came off. There was initially a clicking noise and the noise turned into a larger "boom" noise and when control arm came completely detached from my car. There were two large bolts found below the car. The car was relatively new and never been in an kind of accident or had any type of impact. Luckily, I was backing the car out of my driveway when this occurred, or this could have been a more severe accident, if it occurred while driving on the road. The entire hood of the car landed on the front left tire and there was no way for the car to move. It was towed to the Tesla service center, where they fixed the car. It was covered under my warranty as the car only has 16,700 miles on it. The service center was unable to diagnose the root cause of this issue. The service center indicated that they have seen similar issues to this, but in very rare instances. They said the car is now safe to drive, but this was something I have never had happen with any other car in 30 years of driving. However, I felt that I had to notify someone of this issue.

While reversing during the turn the Automatic Emergency Braking enabled and slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a complete halt instantly. This caused my head to hit the headrest with enough force that I have headaches and brain fog the next day, indicating a concussion. I was 10 feet from the nearest parked vehicle when reversing; the AEB kicked in erroneously. This is not the first time that Tesla's AEB has erroneously and dangerously engaged while I was driving.

The impact resulted in a noticeable scratch sound as the car brushed against the divider. Challenging Autopilot Behavior During this incident, I felt like I was wrestling with the Autopilot system. It took approximately 7 seconds of back-and-forth struggle before I regained control of the vehicle. Fortunately, there were no other cars nearby, and both the car and I remained unharmed. The outcome felt like a true miracle. Summary In summary, the Autopilot system executed a sudden maneuver without any prior warning. The experience left me shaken, and I continue to have nightmares about what had happened. I have saved 4 videos which recorded the accident.
