Systems most susceptible to EMI causing erratic unreliable behavior

The extent of voltage transients can propagate widely through the vehicle systems, cables and interconnect, and potentially cause significant damage to sensitive electronics. Susceptible systems include advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) functions, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) navigation, tire pressure monitoring sensors, and collision-avoidance radar, essentially any circuit that employs analog small signal chains. Battery management systems and onboard chargers are other examples of high-power electronic circuits used in an EV. As mentioned earlier, conducted EMI from cables and interconnects attached to power electronic systems are also likely causes of erratic and unreliable behavior.

I could prolly easy identify several examples of all these systems in Teslas malfunctioning as I have posted them here before.
For example, the doctor whom supposedly drove his family over a cliff claims he stopped at 3 gas stations to fill up a tire due to one of the tire sensors on his Tesla indicating tire pressure was low; whats missing from his story is whether his tire actually needed filling. He also indicated that he was pulling over at Devils Slide to check the pressure again. Ive not seen any indication this aspect of his story has been verified but tire pressure system, according to this, are susceptible system for becoming unreliable due to EMI.

Ah, the perils of electromagnetic interference (EMI) in electric vehicles. Let's delve into these conspiracy theories claims and address them with scientific knowledge and facts.

"Improper EMC maintenance can cause malfunctions or failures."

Indeed, proper electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) measures are crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of electrical and electronic systems in any vehicle. However, it's important to note that modern electric vehicles are designed with EMC considerations in mind, and manufacturers take extensive measures to mitigate EMI and ensure system reliability.

"Confined space and electromagnetic interference in electric vehicles."

Ah, the cozy quarters of electric vehicle architecture! While it's true that there are more electrical and electronic systems packed into EVs, rest assured that automakers are well aware of the challenges and implement various shielding and filtering techniques to minimize EMI and cross-talk between systems.

"Established guidelines and real-world testing conditions."

Ah, the challenge of testing in the real world! Automotive companies conduct rigorous testing to ensure the performance and safety of their vehicles. While it may be difficult to simulate every possible magnetic variation due to Earth's geomagnetic activity, it doesn't mean that EVs are suddenly susceptible to losing control in random locations.

Regarding your questions with a touch of humor:

Is there a strategy to distract people from looking at the basic data, like using humor? Well, humor can indeed be a tool to engage and enlighten people, but let's not forget the importance of relying on solid data and scientific evidence to support our claims.

Is the data being reduced to the absurd? Not at all! It's crucial to analyze the data critically, draw reasonable conclusions, and avoid attributing incidents solely to electromagnetic fluctuations without substantial evidence.

Is there an exercise to create more forum verbiage to drown out evidence? Ah, the world of online forums, where discussions can take unexpected turns. While forum discussions can become overwhelming, it's essential to focus on credible sources, scientific studies, and logical arguments to support valid evidence.

Remember, maintaining proper EMC is important for any electrical system, including electric vehicles. However, it's crucial to approach claims with a skeptical mindset, rely on scientific research, and avoid undue emphasis on isolated incidents or unverified correlations. Let's navigate the EMI landscape with critical thinking and a touch of humor.

However if you read up on the incident of the Apple engineer whose Tesla, with autopilot enabled, drove into a concrete barrier. You'll see that there are certain locations where glitches occur frequently. According to that engineer and his family his Tesla repeatedly veered toward the concrete barrier on several occasions. Mind you this was not regular thing. So only certain times did his Tesla glitch in a similar way to the day his Tesla ultimately drove him to his death. This means the conditions to cause the glitch are not always present and do not happen at that location on a regular enough basis. So even during other geomagnetic unrest/storm conditions, it didnt always cause glitches at that location. This could be for a number of reasons. One example could be the fact that surface magnetic activity at that location, was not sufficient enough on those other days.

I cover this accident in this post from 2021:

I'm begging all of you to NEVER get in a Tesla as long as you live. It started accelerating on its own in a parking garage and my dad lost all control of the car and we ran into a wall at 40 mph. Most horrifying experience of my life.
