My brother in law wants to sell his Tesla [View all]

He had to drive the thing 50 miles to my house yesterday. The car kept deciding to change lanes when he didn’t expect it to or want it to.
So he put it in cruise mode at 70 mph and it kept slowing down. He noticed everyone was passing him… the cruise control was not keeping it on 70.
My sister said it was terrifying how it would try to go into the slower lane without realizing cars were coming up from behind.
