That’s still pretty bad, honestly. All it took was repeated testing to trigger the issue? That indicates that either Tesla’s testing was woefully insufficient here or that they took a late change to braking behavior without a proper re-testing regimen.

I can actually understand the latter possibility, but it’s still a giant screw up.

Yes I agree with you. I expect they made a code change in order to stress test a different component of the braking system and then forgot to revert that change.

If so, it's a big screw up for this kind of product development. But still, it's much better than "these brakes have a design flaw and can never work properly and we don't know how to make cars".
