Narrative

On January 13th, 2023 we were waiting for green light on an intersection, 2nd in place. The car in front of us started moving on green light for a left turn, and suddenly it slowed down as a result of another car coming in the opposite direction. Our Tesla Model Y didn't recognized the situation and crashed into it. The automatic emergency braking didn't actuate and also the Forward collision warning didn't alert. The low speed collision avoidance also failed to act. A police report was filed because of the accident. Previously, On January 6th, 2023, a service was requested because of the vision system is not properly detecting objects / situations that can result in collision. Tesla canceled the service appointment. After contacting the dealer on January 13th, they acknowledged verbally that the car is missing sensors that were previously installed in older models.
