This happens with all adaptive cruise control vehicles sometimes. I'm anti-Tesla as much as the next person, but this isn't a Tesla problem.

Yes and no.

You learn how your car behaves with this tech and it stops being a surprise not long after you get used to it.

However

As someone who had one of these bullshit phantom brake Tesla's - it's random and chaotic. Like you have no way of knowing when it will or won't slam the brakes for no reason. I stopped using it not long into having the car before I sold it.

I bought a MachE that doesn't do it and I'm legit way happier.
