As a potential new Tesla owner I'm disappointed that you deleted my lengthy post... And to accuse me of trolling...? I have legitimate safety concerns before spending fifty thousand dollars on a vehicle that could potentially endanger me or my family with previously unincorporated driving dynamics by driving with a mind of its own. To people like myself that don't fanboy for Tesla, we don't have an overview of how the system works, and to accuse a new member with these questions as trolling is insulting. As a mechanical engineer, I will not blindly trust anything and incorporate it into my life without operational knowledge. Lets keeps this simple:
-When I'm not using autopilot or cruise control does Tesla have the ability to brake or turn my car without my approval?
-If so, can this feature be turned off?
-Will the car ever prevent me from driving it due to any Tesla created reasons? (So called sleepy/drunk driving prevention or whatever else)
I need to know this is a car I can rely on, and every individual post just touches on certain aspects. I need an overview of the hands off control of this car where I know I will be the one in control, unless I choose to let Tesla take the wheel. There is no in-between to me.
Thank you.
