Episode # 1: Sunday, [XXX] NEAR-DEATH-EXPERIENCE 2 times in 2 weeks while driving Tesla Model X 2023 with FSD. Both myself and wife were travelling and coming from Toronto to Lake George, NJ All of a sudden car STOPPED in the middle of the highway. Laptop screen was blank. In the mean time, turned on the Emergency Light. After a minute or so, white UTE came (white) color came behind us with in less than a minute came from behind but he was able to steer on the left, honked couple of times and drove. I started panicking and do not know what to do and kept on saying what happened, what happened,,.... and at the same time, my wife asked me to pull car aside quickly otherwise someone is coming from behind is going to hit and that is going to be the end of our life (die) in a crash. Somehow started pedalling gas, break and then noticed laptop screen lightning up and quickly put the car in Drive and pulled the car on the right hand side (extreme right) and no service lane. Pulled the car partially on road and partially on the road. Reached Lake George late evening and stayed in Sleep In & Suites, Queensbury, stayed over night, Monday and left Sleep In on on TUesday, [XXX]. I just drove couple of miles and was not feeling and was looking unstable and wife did not let me drive all the way from Lake George to New Jersey. As we parked our car at Quick Chek for a short break for few minutes. She noticed that instead reversing car from the car park and put car in Drive and immediately applied breaks and at that time she did not let me drive. As soon as we reached back and went straight to our son's house and as our son is a Dr., and when told him about the episode he took me straight to Jefferson's ER worrying that I may have small strokes. Emergency admitted me in the hospital and started diagnostics e.g., CTC, MRI and other blood tests. Next day they released from the hospital and referred for a followup to Neuro Dr. Next day reported to Tesla. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA),
