I hate Tesla and Musk with all my heart but even I know there is no way you can shift a Tesla into drive without pressing the brake pedal.
This is pretty much standard on all EVs and my Ioniq 5 has the same. As well as VW ID series, Enyaq, Ford EVs, Polestar, Volvo (I drive a lot of rentals for work)
Still Its good that its been looked into so they could rule out a design flaw, production error, sub contractor switching to cheaper components or a myriad of other possible causes.
Human error is sadly not uncommon and the shame/embarrassment does cause quite a few people to not admit to their mistakes.
I am looking forward to seeing the FSD Probe progress though as I think camera only Self Driving is crazy.
I have test driven some pretty good LiDAR + Camera based self driving cars and even they struggle with some situations. Honestly I don't think we will have safe self driving cars until the cars can talk to each other so that every car knows what the intent of the other cars are.
As well as the cars talking to the road signals, pedestrian crossings etc.
I hope they get smacked hard on the whole FSD debacle.
I am as I said biased against Tesla and Musk (I am Trans, and the hate and disinformation that Musk has spread or amplified is something I have to deal with every day)
