Consumer Description

On the date of January 4th, at approximately 6:50 pm, while using the Autopilot feature on my Model X, I was driving 55 mph on the highway and the phantom break occurred, which it completely stopped my car but I was fortunate enough there wasn't any car behind me and I was able to speed up quickly avoid any accident.
