    I lost track of the amount of times where the Tesla slammed its brakes on randomly when travelling on a motorway at 70mph with seemingly no trigger

    Is phantom braking still a big issue? I thought they fixed the vast majority of cases months ago.

      Seemed to be- it was owned by my Mum so there’s no guarantee she’d updated firmware properly or whatever. Come think of it I do remember checking for firmware updates and there weren’t any at that moment in time, but something as severely dangerous as that tainted my view somewhat permanently of it. The only saving grace was the great acceleration: if I wasn’t quick enough slamming the accelerator down a few times I would have been smoosh by a following truck.
