Consumer Description

When I have Autopilot (adaptive cruise) on, the car will often slow down, sometimes quite abruptly, when there is nothing to slow down for. This is often called Phantom Braking. This can easily put me at risk of getting rear-ended from another car. If I'm on ice or snow it can cause the car to slide and loose control. I have read on the internet and forums of many with 2021 or 2022 Model Y's with the same problem - since the radar was removed on these newer cars. I had a 2020 Model Y previously that had the radar, and I never had this problem. I believe their camera only technology is not enough to suffice and they need the redundancy of both radar and cameras.
