I’ve driven 15000 miles in the past year on my Model Y, a large part of it shuttling between the Bay Area and Reno, so mostly I-80. And many miles of autopilot.

I’ve driven 15000 miles in the past year on my Model Y, a large part of it shuttling between the Bay Area and Reno, so mostly I-80. And many miles of autopilot. So for, not a single phantom break. So I wonder what it is that makes it not happen for me? Probably half of those miles are in the evening, so that might be a partial explanation. Maybe the direction from which the sun is coming?

FWIW: I'm in the same boat (albeit lots of miles in Florida and Texas). I think I've had a total of _one_ "uncomfortable" issue from an overhang 2 years ago in my model 3 (which was corrected by me just hitting the accelerator). It seems the right set of circumstances convince the navigate on autopilot system that jamming on the brakes is the right thing to do. Here are some threads about the same type of issue in VW and in Ford (the latter being on I-80): https://www.reddit.com/r/Tiguan/comments/nrkc3d/phantom_braking/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Tiguan/comments/nrkc3d/phantom_brak... https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/phantom-braking-experienced-in-the-mache-for-the-first-time-7-months-in.9376/ https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/phantom-braking-expe...
