Reddit user recounts how his Tesla braked for a deer on the road
Unconfirmed: A Reddit user, who recently moved to the United States, recounts that on the way to Mammoth Lake, a deer suddenly ran out along the side of the road. According to his post, the Tesla he was driving braked firmly several times and remained stable during the maneuver. The post title attributes the situation to FSD, but the body of the text only mentions 'the Tesla' and does not indicate whether the system was engaged.…
- Account from a Reddit user, with no video or telemetry data published.
- The title attributes the braking to FSD; the body only says 'the Tesla'.
🔎 Why it matters: There is no official confirmation from Tesla: the post describes several braking events for a deer on the route to Mammoth Lake, and its title attributes the maneuver to FSD without the text confirming it.
📈 Upside: The author describes the vehicle remaining stable through several consecutive braking events.
📉 Risk: If the maneuver was performed under manual driving, the title would overstate FSD's performance and could lead to misattribution.
