LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Potential Consequences:
When I purchased this vehicle, I was told that all ADAS features would be available once the cameras calibrated (approximately 50 miles). After 100 miles my wife bumped into a wall in our garage. I opened a ticket and Tesla said the ADAS features are unavailable until a software update is sent. The sales person who I spoke to were not aware of this. This is EXTREMELY dangerous. Drivers are reliant on warnings from features like this and to have the features off without a warning could get someone run over.

Potential Consequences:
This new car model Y was picked up on December 20th around noontime. After my husband drove it home, I updated the required documents with insurance. Then we went out to a nearby store. I was the driver(>20 yrs experience). When we stopped on Smithtown Bypass/Moriche by the red light, during the waiting, the car suddenly took off, with an unbelievable speed. THANK GOD!! I don’t know what happened, but I was extremely calm at that moment. I heard my husband screaming and I knew both of us know we are going to directly hit the cars that drove from the left. To avoid such definite impact, I had no choice but quickly made a very aggressive left turn and stopped on the road of Moriche. To be safe, I drove the car back to Tesla around 2pm. The guy said it could be my mistake of accidentally hitting a button of cruise control. I truly doubted it. Is there a button can be unintentionally hit without warning? I asked him to look into the report. I told him I was fully stopped and waiting on the red light. My foot was completely off the pedal. My hands were on the wheel. My eyes were on the road rather than on the touch screen for any information displayed. No warning signs at all. I felt I might have heard some noise while the car shooting out but I am not sure. Even though this serious incident was reported right away and our car was parked in front of the service door, we were scheduled to get a service check on 23rd. And then we were informed by an email that the service check has been rescheduled to January 30th. I believe this incident must be reported and be awarded by other Tesla drivers as well. While Tesla bragging how safe their cars are, my personal experience told me a totally different story. Please investigate this incident ASAP because I think Tesla didn’t take it seriously. I wish there is a traffic footage can be obtained. I can’t imagine how many families would be destroyed if the accident happened! Praise the LORD for His mercy!!

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I Purchased a new 2023 Telsa Model Y, picked it up today and on the drive home I experienced a phantom braking event which caused the vehicle to immediately stop and become inoperable. Despite my attempts to restart or reset the car it would not move. I sat in the middle lane of a six lane roadway for 90 minutes waiting for a tow truck to take the vehicle to the nearest Tesla Service Center. There was no warning and the vehicle drove flawlessly prior to this event, although I had only driven about 125 miles. I was in heavy traffic and I responded quickly to stop the vehicle and avoid an accident.
