REVERSE means FORWARD??

[Dantes]

Alright so this happened to me today for the first time:

Pulled up to a car wash, there’s a wide parking spot with a red pole to block the end, vacuumed the car myself and got back in. Put it in reverse and very cautiously looked around to make sure no one was behind me and I felt the car move forward. Immediately I start thinking “You moron you put it in forward drive”. Reached to switch it to reverse only to see that it already was.. gave it another tiny tap and once again the truck moved forward. Pulled out my phone to record it but it was such a small distance to show the example you can barely tell. Was getting really close to the red pillar in front of the truck so I couldn’t keep on the pedal.

Shut the truck off and booted it back up and it continued to do it. For a moment I was thinking of calling service for help but I put it in forward to see what it would do. Burned up my last inch of space going forward. Put it back in reverse, MOMENT OF TRUTH.. am I going to hit the poll in front of me or will it finally back up? With the tiniest of cautious pressure from my big toe, JUST like the scene from SpongeBob, the truck moves backwards and saves me embarrassment and a heart attack.

Sorry for the long story, just one of those comedic situations but I wanted to share the example in case anyone else is experiencing this bug?

Stupid question… was there a grade to the parking spot or some kind of hump/gutter that can make the truck move forward between when the brakes disengage and torque from the motors moves the truck backwards?

Not at all. Really nice and flat/clean. It was clearly moving forward.

This happened to me two weeks ago and was like a quarter of an inch from running into something. I put it in reverse, it went forward. I checked it was in reverse, it went forward. I put in park and put back into reverse again and it went in reverse.

I had the exact same thing happen to me a couple months ago. I was parallel parked and a car was in front of me and behind me. Had it in reverse to get enough room to pull out and the car moves forward. Put it in park and tried again, still moves forward. Now I have about 2 inches to the car in front of me. I performed a reset and tried one last time and thankfully this time it went in reverse.
No clue what the issue was and it hasn’t happened since

This, if I understand your post, happens to me often. I will back-out of the garage and as I place the car in drive, the car automatically changes its position back to reverse. Happens often.

I've occasionally mis-fired on the directional swipe, causing the gesture to be ignored (and therefore stays in the previously-selected direction).

I believe the OP is suggesting that the vehicle was moving in the opposite direction of that indicated in the UI, which is hilarious/horrifying.

Good thing they haven't flipped left-and-right on the SbW yet lol

If something like this happens again, use the overhead shift.

Why can I not get Katy Perry out of my mind right now?

10,000 miles, I have not see this. Could is be the collision avoidance intervening due to being close to an object?

I've heard that Tesla touts that the car can determine when you get in - if you need to go FWD or REV on it's own.

This is only entirely possible when it detects something : like you garage wall infront of the vehicle.

...now when it see something in front AND in back...what does it do?
