That is an excellent reply. A very responsible owner/manager.

In b4 the guy denies it.
The video clearly shows him crossing the lane as well as him looking at me when I'm beeping towards the end.

yes it's a bit meh that the earlier shot that would indicate whether his behavour before, required more caution steering/braking wasn't recorded; (...Elon )
the steering input was just your car auto-steering too

Impressive footage that didn't catch anything, right

Clearly shows him crossing the lane when another car is there without signalling in a dangerous manner

Ok I qualify "anything" with 4 dashcam videos showing no accident/contact.
Would rather have some patchy footage than no footage at all. I can't imagine how the conversation would have gone had the OP not be able to supply some evidence.
2nd cam down, right at the start.

As I said previously, it doesn't show the contact or accident directly but does show him crossing into the outside lane in a dangerous manner and evasive action.

Are you confusing seeing some contact with not seeing some contact?
Agreed, guy is a pillock. It is just a shame with 4 dash cams you didn't catch the contact.

We shall see if he admits it tomorrow
Also going to raise a complaint to Tesla as the gap in the recordings could have been vital to an investigation..
As apposed to single forward facing dash cams that would have been amazing at capturing everything? Or do you have a drone above your car at all times filming?

Now we're talking!
took that as an ironic comment - indeed a std dashcanm would have been better.
I don't see why op didn't brake immediately .. the guy could have been having a blow-out say.

Didn't really think in the moment, the autopilot kicked in straight away to avoid and I immediately corrected and then he had gone out of the lane by then.

Having an additional front + rear setup would have at least caught the entire footage without missing 5-10 seconds prior to the event including it swerving around before hand, how close they were when the impact happened and it would have also caught the noise of the impact.
To be honest, it still looks like the third party were already across in the lane before they began passing them. I'm glad they seem to have taken this on and are investigating but some defensive driving would have probably saved them from having to deal with the incident. They should have really noticed them drifting way before the front of your car was near them and could have backed off until it was safe to pass/they were back in their lane. I'm sure we've all been in situations that we can learn from and it's easy to judge when it isn't you/you have time to think about things, hopefully this gets sorted out with little fuss
Was the car already on AP at the time? Curious to know whether Tesla AP will react and attempt to steer out the way if it notices something like this without it being active at the time.

The car was on AP with myself with myself holding it as well. We didn't really notice the behaviour till this incident and then after as well.

Slightly OT but have you had any examples where AP has attempted to move you out the way of an incident without it being on prior to it sensing it? Really curious as to when the tech might take over/when it won't.

Not for steering that I've noticed. But It has definitely put the breaks on or put more force on them a few times over the last 4 years that I've had Tesla's.
