Now it happened to me!
I really do not have range anxiety, but brake anxiety!
But the story goes like that:
It was as an emergeny call ( I m oral surgeon ) early in the morning, at that night I allready had a call at noon - that is just to tell you that it‘s not just the fault of Tesla‘s brakes.
Getting out of the highway I was approaching a slow driving Peugeot in front of me. When I was pretty close the light in front of the Peugeot switched from green to yellow and the driver slammed the brakes. For me it was at a moment when I thought the Peugeot was accelerating but because it was still green that the driver changed her mind a made a full stop. It was at the moment when me too after slowing down, I also started to accelerate. I immediately slammed the brakes, but it was more like a gliding then braking. I even had time to honk like saying „ go out of my way, I‘m coming and have no useful brakes“. The impact was at about 5 to 10 Km/h.
Both cars had a dent. Nobody was hurt. The driver in front of me was a very young girl. Who was very happy that I was not blaming her and just repeated, oh it does not matter..
The car is now due to go to the Tesla store Zürich for front repairs. I will report....
