Consumer Description

When coming home from the dealer, it phantom braked twice. I thought at first maybe it was a shadow across the road. There was a software update the next day, and I hoped it was fixed. It was raining lightly and there wouldn't be any shadows.. a box truck came toward us in the opposite lane and it panic braked. As soon as I turned the cruise control back on, a semi came toward us, and it panic braked again. I've been afraid to use the cruise control since then.. if someone was inattentive behind me, they would probably hit me. Tesla says they have checked the systems on my car remotely and there is nothing wrong with it. (!!) It now has 200 miles on it.
