What owners wrote
I had a 2018 tesla s. I was driving north on us 395 in lane 2 of a 4 lane divided highway at 0030 about 20 miles south of lone pine, ca. It was pitch black out. I was the driver of a tesla s in semiautonomous driver-assist mode. The road was going up hill and I clicked my turn signal to pass a semi trailer and my car went into the left lane and passed the truck. After going a significant distance in front of the truck and starting down hill and I clicked my turn signal to return to the right lane.
The car software has been modified and appears to be compromised. Settings related to safety and autopilot have been unstable. Driver profile does not work properly. Factory reset performed by tesla paramus and by switching email account doesn't not remove the malware. Personal data and malfunctioning of the car continue despite several complaints to tesla.
