Consumer Description

Brand new 2023 Tesla Model Y LR phantom breaks on shadows. Issue happens with just auto speed Adaptive cruise control and the more advanced lane departure "Autopilot" feature on. Happens on 45mph roads and on highways at 65-75mph. Most serious instance was on US 540 in Apex NC where car hard braked when it was about to go under an overpass with a strong shadow. Sunny day, 10AM in the morning, no other cars near by. Would have likely caused an accident if someone had been behind me.
