NHTSA Complaint #11448260 — 2021 TESLA MODEL 3

On *multiple occasions* when driving on a highway and using cruise control, the car has suddenly and severly decelerated. Tesla advises that for my vehicle the safety system to detect possible collisions is still in the "BETA phase" and has initially been programmed to be over-sensitive. Tesla claims that as software updates are made, this issue will improve. [See uploaded screenshot of text chat I had with Tesla service on 1/19/21.] I have an appointmnet to take the vehicle in, but Tesla says I must be able to give then exact dates and times of occurrences or otherwise there is too much code on the vehicle's computer log for their systemt to be able to analyze. (I am able to give them some dates but not exact times.) My fear and concern in the meantime is that such unpredictable deceleration events when traveling at highway speeds could result in a rear-end collision with a vehicle behind me. When I expressed this to Tesla, their reply was: "It is the driver's responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in control of the vehicle at all times." I pointed out to them the obvious fact that none of those things can prevent this issue from happening, and received no further reply.
