I’ll upload it this afternoon sometime.
Nope, think the car already realized brakes were being applied. Technically I was a good car length behind, thanks to the good braking, after the emergency braking so ideally it would not alert then either.
Here's the back camera.. Window was super dirty, actually cleaned all the car windows yesterday lol You can tell when the Telsa saw the car, he started to drive off center a little, think he thought the same thing, "no way this guy will come onto the freeway".....
I always drirve Unbridled on the freeway (California). I feel like I have more control to punch it as well as to stop suddenly - too many jerks doing stupid things on the freeway. I am usually not worried about how much charge it's using because I can recharge easily. If i were to go long distance, that would be a different story.
Thanks for sharing. Glad no one was hurt.
Keep in mind, this isn’t what BC is for.
No wonder why it's always an Altima driver meme.
Being stable is a good driving skills not to turn the car into a roll. At 78 your stopping distance is 200 yards by reaction time and to a full stop. We enjoy 65mph on the PA turnpike which is 70 mainly we are older and mostly a lot of deer.Yes, yes, I should had slowed down blah blah
Look, it was 06:25, I had Blue Cruise engaged at 78 (yes speed limit was 70, don't come at me like you don't speed a little), was eating my $2 pastry I just got from the gas station and drinking my Apple Crisp Bang trying to wake up. I saw this dude right when he entered the median, dust was a dead giveaway. I moved my foot over to hover the brake, but my thought process was "There is no way this dude is going to illegally cross a median and then merge into the fast lane of a freeway, F this entitled dude".
Whelp, I was wrong lol I went from 78 to about 30ish in seconds. Car was 100% stable, like she was rock solid in the emergency brake process, talk about having some confidence in the car once I processed all this. Was pretty impressed with the way the Mach-E handled it, she's a hefty girl.. Tesla Y was also behind me, pretty sure he had every alarm going off known to man kind lol After looking at my rear camera, he actually got pretty damn close to me. That simi did not leave us many options, he thought about bailing behind him, but I think he would had hit, so it was good he didn't.
Anyways, here's the video to appreciate the braking distance, and stability, of the Mach-E.
Few things, was not half asleep, I had been up for almost an hour, just the typical "not had my morning caffeine" tired. My hands were not full, and I was not knee driving, as mentioned, I typically always keep a hand on the wheel, plus with BC you don't need a knee.... I had my pastry in my right hand, left hand on the wheel about 8 o'clock, Bang was in the cup holder. Also, the car did nothing, this interaction was from myself. Car was on Blue Cruise, but I'm the one that applied the brakes. Blue Cruise might had done something, but it was nothing that was obvious to me. Blue Cruise does not look off to the side of the road like that, had I not braked I would had hit the guy. Looks like an admin updated the title of my post. I did not even have the pre crash alert go off, I'd assume because I was already under full braking, or it was because BC did not recognize the car as being in my lane.
