TESLA MODEL Y 2024 UNKNOWN OR OTHER
high
It was raining, when I was driving on I95 highway, the vehicle suddenly started to spin by itself, and out of my control. When I tried to hit the brakes, there was no response, then it swung out of the lane and hit on the tree. I have reported to police, and I just filed a claim with insurance company, and I will also report this to Tesla later. However, I think it is really very dangerous, and I hope it can be investigated for safety reason. I have video recordings, I can provide if you need them. Thank you.

TESLA MODEL Y 2024 UNKNOWN OR OTHER
low
After about 2 minutes from leaving a patients house, I was driving at approximately 25mph when my frunk(front trunk) of my Tesla flew open and hit my windshield. There was no alert through the Tesla app or in the car itself. I stopped the car stepped outside and the frunk would not close after when I tried to close by hand, it would stop at the latch. When I closed it from the Tesla app it was able to close properly

TESLA MODEL Y 2024 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
low
Whenever the self driving feature is disengaged, a pop up menu is forced into the user asking for a reason for the disengagement. The user is forced to submit a response for the pop up menu to go away. This menu shifts sections of the screen around and can cause distractions due to the user looking for specific information that is typically there but is not due to the pop up menu.

TESLA MODEL Y 2024 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
high
Vehicle: 2024 Tesla Model Y Date of Incident: XXX Location: Southbound XXX Express Lanes near the [XXX]/[XXX] exit split in [XXX]. At the time of the incident, Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised was engaged. I was traveling in the Express Lanes and intended to remain in the Express Lanes. I was not attempting to take any exit. As the roadway approached a lane split/gore area, the vehicle began steering toward the striped boom barriers that prevent drivers from going into oncoming traffic, rather than remaining in the travel lane. There were not impending impact alerts or lane deviation alerts. There were no unusual weather conditions, and I did not observe any road conditions that would have made the lane path unclear to a human driver. As soon as I saw the vehicle veering into the boom barriers, I intervened by taking control of the steering wheel. The system disengagement alert/chime occurred only after I took over. Despite my intervention, the vehicle made contact with the boom barrier assembly. The impact caused significant damage to the windshield and driver's side door frame. Glass entered the passenger compartment. My infant child was in the vehicle at the time. Fortunately, no injuries were sustained. Tesla Dashcam footage of the incident was preserved and is available. A claim was opened with Tesla Insurance, and I was advised to submit a vehicle malfunction report for review of vehicle telemetry and FSD operation during the incident. After the collision I maneuvered the vehicle back into its lane, exited the toll highway and parked at a nearby shopping center to assess our injuries the vehicle. While there, another Tesla parked near me, and the driver had experience the same exact situation while his Tesla was in autodrive. I am requesting investigation into whether the vehicle's driver-assistance system improperly tracked toward the boom barriers rather than remaining within the intended travel lane.
