Description of the problem	In order to cancel cruise control or autopilot in a tesla model 3, the primary mechanism is to push the right stalk upwards as far as it will go. However, pushing the same stalk upwards only part of the way will cause the car to shift into neutral. This can cause a driver to put the car into neutral while it is underway. This is especially dangerous in a tesla because if the car is in neutral regenerative breaking is disabled and it is the common driving habit to use regenerative breaking as the primary braking mechanism. Essentially, a driver can accidentally make the car unable to accelerate and unable to use primary braking when in motion. In addition, there is no audible alert that the car has been shifted to neutral and only a very small visible change to the touchscreen. I alerted tesla to this issue in august of 2018 and there has been no change to the car's behavior since then, despite numerous over the air software updates.
