"Somewhat infamous" just means that a bunch of people got it into press hits. In practice they tuned this out a few months back. There are still circumstances where the car will slow for obstacles that I don't see as the driver, but frankly at this point is close to 50/50 as to who is right. The car reacts to stuff I miss at least as often as it tries to slow down for shadows.
I mean, I went on a test drive of a Model Y and it happened to me before I knew about this issue (so it isn't like I was looking for it! it was just extremely noticeable and was one of my bigger complaints coming out of the test drive); and, last night, I was in a conversation with someone who owns a Tesla--someone who didn't even know about the radar being removed, much less that "phantom braking" was a thing people talked about a lot; and, critically, someone whom I had not talked to about the issue--and he was complaining about all the false positive collision warnings that would cause the car to jerk to a halt constantly (which made my subsequent explanation of the radar issue fun ;P)... you make it sound like this is some kind of solved problem, but it really isn't. (I'm glad you are happy with your car, FWIW.)
> you make it sound like this is some kind of solved problem, but it really isn't
Fair, but you straight up claimed it was an "infamous" problem, and it isn't that either.
Really what I'm saying is that it's No Big Deal, especially in comparison with where the rest of the industry is on features like this, and that the people out there claiming it is are mostly just trying to spin you on their investment ideas.
I said "somewhat infamous", which 1) isn't "straight up" saying "infamous" (so I feel you are now just doubling down into bad faith arguments) and 2) is something I stand by as it comes up in a large number of the recent important reviews of the vehicle from impactful sources (including CNET Car, which called the Model Y "critically flawed" because of this problem) in addition to being brought up in lots of comment threads about the car... it even managed to get national press from non-car news sources (which I am sure you will now attempt to discredit for some new reason).
