A new thread on TeslaMotorClub that may? be part of the complaints with "reliability" if FSD supervised/ autosteer is included since the cars can support it and autosteer is an included cruise control. It would be interesting to know if FSD supervised/ autosteer complaints are counted
Not to dump on Tesla's FSD Supervised but,...
I had the same hard braking on highway 95 in a particular location at least 3 times both during the free FSD trial and using autosteer and also understand the OP's concern of what would happen if a loaded semi is behind the car and it decides to panic brake. I also reported it in the bug report as well at the time. Next trip through that area I intend to see if after almost 2 years they have fixed the bug. The car also braked in that area just using the autosteer cruise control.
I do hope Tesla solves this or updates google map errors that are possibly causing some of these braking events.
My braking events occurred at a major state hiway realignment area, but it was completed a long time ago.
Anyway the recent trip thread first post for a Tesla Model 3 owner on TeslaMotorsClub

- "Moved form California to Idaho. As part of that move, I decided to drive my Model 3 performance from Orange County to Idaho. This is a fairlly long drive, so I decided to enable one month's worth of FSD to help me along the way.
This is the first time i had tried using FSD on a long road trip, and sadly it will 99% likely be my last. Here is why:
At first, things were going well. The car drove well (I'm actually a big fan of the Model 3 Performance's handling) and was comfortable and enjoyable. Then, seemingly for no reason, the car would slow down for no apparent reason. I didn't think more of it, disengaged FSD and got back up to speed and re-engaged it. A couple of hours later, this happened again and I - as before - disengaged and re-engaged FSD after having gotten back up to speed.
The next day was the longest of the 2: I was driving from Bishop, CA to Star, ID. During this second day of driving, the same symptom as the prior day was still present and got increasingly worse. For example: about mid-day, I was on I-80 in northern Nevada, heading north. The car went into full regen for no reason at all, and then back up to speed.
- The final "straw that broke the camels back" was that same afternoon: I was driving north on US-95 north of Rome, OR using FSD. The car suddenly went into full panic braking (not just regen) and I had to step HARD on the accelerator to avoid stopping in the middle of the road.
I didn't use FSD for the remainder of the trip.
I use the autosteer cruise and it is really Good overall, but actually agree with the poster, Tesla needs to figure out and fix whatever is causing these rare braking cases where the road is totally clear and vehicles are travelling a full hi-way speeds.
Newish Tesla's are great cars overall, Perfect no. What was it Arthur C. Clarke used to say, ? the perfect machine will not be built until it has no moving parts, then computers were developed. Perfect software and chips , No.
