NHTSA Complaint #10898655 — 2016 TESLA MODEL X

UPDATE TO THE AUTOPILOT SITUATION. FORUM POSTS TODAY SHOW THAT THE SITUATION IS GETTING EVEN WORSE. HTTPS://FORUMS.TESLA.COM/FORUM/FORUMS/DANGEROUS-AUTOPILOT-NAGGING-EVERY-15-SECONDS-WHY SAMPLE: AESCULUS | AUGUST 25, 2016 MINE WORKS BY HOLDING WITH A FEW FINGERS AT THE BOTTOM. I THINK IT JUST WANTS TO MEASURE SOME AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE WHEN IT MOVES THE WHEEL. ROSSRALLEN | 25. AUGUST 2016 I AGREE WITH @AESCULUS - LIGHT FINGER PRESSURE BIASING THE WHEEL TO ONE SIDE IS ENOUGH, BUT YOU ALSO NEED TO BE READY TO ASSUME CONTROL. SO, A HAND RESTING AT 5, 6, OR 7 O'CLOCK SHOULD PROVIDE ADEQUATE PRESSURE TO BE SENSED BY THE AP. BTW - USE CAUTION WITH AP ON TWO-LANE ROADS: AP STAYS TOO CLOSE TO THE CENTERLINE FOR MY COMFORT, AND MANY APPROACHING DRIVERS DRIVE TOO CLOSE TO THE CENTERLINE. ALSO FROM ANOTHER FORUM HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/DANGEROUS-AUTOPILOT-IS-NAGGING-EVERY-15-SECONDS-WHY.76141/ AESCULUS | 25. AUGUST 2016 MINE WORKS BY HOLDING WITH A FEW FINGERS AT THE BOTTOM. I THINK IT JUST WANTS TO MEASURE SOME AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE WHEN IT MOVES THE WHEEL. CGIGUY, TODAY AT 8:20 AM BRANDON332 SAID: ↑ IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAVE TO LOOK DOWN AT THE SCREEN RATHER THAN ON THE ROAD, I ALMOST CRASHED ONCE! WOW. I'M SOMEHOW NOT SURPRISED BY HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE CRASHING THEIR CARS ON AP WITH STATEMENTS LIKE THIS. AT LEAST YOU WEREN'T PETTING YOUR DOG AND CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR AROUND A CURVE WHILE ON AP. THESE COMMENTS ARE FROM ENTHUSIASTS WHO SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO KNOW BETTER. THE BEHAVIOR OF THE TYPICAL TESLA OWNER IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD IS LIKELY TO BE EVEN WORSE. TESLA OWNERS SEEM TO HAVE BLIND FAITH IN THE TESLA AND IN THE CREATOR ELON MUSK (BLESSED BE HIS NAME)
