The FSD Beta system may allow the vehicle to act unsafe around intersections, such as traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution. In addition, the system may respond insufficiently to changes in pos
FSD Beta software that allows a vehicle to exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner increases the risk of a crash.

SECONDARY FRONT HOOD SAFETY LATCH FAILED CAUSING MY HOOD TO OPEN WHILE ON HIGHWAY
HERE IS A MODEL Y IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/38263120?ROWNUMBER=1 THE BACK WHEEL HAS FALLEN OFF BECAUSE THE HUB CARRIER HAS CRACKED OFF THE BRAKE ROTOR. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE CAST MONKEY METAL ASSEMBLY IS MADE TO THE USUAL TESLA QUALITY STANDARDS. THE BACK OF THE CAR HAS COLLAPSED LIKE A SOUFFL HIT BY A SLEDGEHAMMER.. I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU'LL BE TAKING ANY ACTION. WOULDN'T WANT TO UPSET LORD ELON WOULD YOU? HAVE A GREAT DAY. KEEF
I REALIZED THAT MODEL Y 2020 DOESN'T NOT HAVE PEDESTRIAN WARNINGS SPEAKERS EVEN THOUGH MY CAR BUILT IS FROM 2020 (BETWEEN JUNE-AUGUST). I TOOK THIS DELIVERY OF MODEL Y IN EARLY FIRST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER. I AM WONDERING NHTSA MANDATE THIS LAW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019. SINCE MY CAR DO NOT HAVE EVEN PRODUCED IN 2020. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT PEDESTRIAN POPPING OUT FROM NO WHERE. THERE WERE SOME TIMES I ALMOST NEAR MISS PEDESTRIANS. THIS MANDATORY FEATURE COULD HAVE HELPED.
DRIVING SOUTH ON I5 IN SACRAMENTO AT 55-60 MPH WITH AUTO-STEER ENGAGED, THE CAR SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE LEFT. TO AVOID SIDESWIPING THE CAR IN THAT LANE I STEERED TO THE RIGHT. THE SYSTEM TRIED TO STEER TO THE LEFT AGAIN, BUT I FORCIBLY STEERED TO THE RIGHT.. SWERVING BACK AND FORTH, THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 50 YARDS UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE OR I WOULD HAVE COLLIDED WITH IT. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE ABSENCE OF LANE MARKINGS IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE.
