Scary to Drive

I find the car scary to drive. I have experienced the sudden "phantom braking", which I had never even heard of before googling it, a bunch of times. It seems to be particularly bad passing under bridges and when I drove a road near my house with shadows from tall pine trees. Cars have almost rear ended me, most recently the pickup behind me same to a screeching, skidding halt inches from my bumper. It's impossible to rate this car highly in anything when it feels like it's trying to kill you constantly.

2 major problems in 10 days.

Very recently took delivery of a 2023 Model Y LR with the new price drop, based on all the positive things I read on Facebook, and I have to say I regret it. I had problems out of the gate with a loud rattle coming from the front suspension, went right back to the delivery center, only to have them tell me I have to schedule via the app and they're too busy. So I do that, but my service is scheduled another 2 weeks out. In the interim, with me driving around with the suspension clunk, the center screen, which is the only interface with the car, randomly crashes and goes completely black. So that's another problem for them to look into, but I'm afraid to drive the car. Can't believe I've walked into this $55,000 lemon and the service is so bad.
