Consumer Description

HUNDREDS of times this car (as well as our other Tesla Model S) would brake hard for no reason, usually on the highway. Often there was no car nearby and no bridge ahead so we have to guess that it's due to the sky. The car will often go from 75 mph down to 25 mph in seconds, sometimes with tire squealing noise. When it happens now we instantly look into the rear view mirror for traffic that might hit us, and we hit the accelerator if necessary. If nobody is behind us, we let it play out to see how slow the car will get. 25 mph on an interstate, which is usually where this occurs, is unsafe. Recently my wife saw an approaching truck that would have hit her had the truck not been able to change lanes.
