26·9 months agoOn a quick read, I didn’t see the struck motorcycles listed. Last I heard, a few years ago, was that this mainly affected motorcycles with two rear lights that are spaced apart and fairly low to the ground. I believe this is mostly true for Harleys.
The theory I recall was that this rear light configuration made the Tesla assume it was looking (remember, only cameras without depth data) at a car that was further down the road - and acceleration was safe as a result. It miscategorised the motorcycle so badly that it misjudged it’s position entirely.

I dont have a current one, but my old Xtorm power bank was great quality, and in retrospect definitely worth the price. I don’t know if they still have it, but the magnetic storage of the matching cable was a brilliant piece of design.
