Owner Narrative

I own a 2026 Tesla Model Y, and I subscribe to and use Tesla's Full Self-Drive ("FSD") service. Whenever I have the car in FSD mode and take over control of the car, thereby turning off FSD, a box appears in the bottom left corner of the display screen in the car that the driver must use for all functions of the car. That box asks why I turned the FSD off and requires that I choose from 4 selections. The box remains on the screen until a selection is chosen and does not disappear after any period of time on its own, and there is no option to stop that box from appearing every single time I take over from FSD. The requirement that I divert my attention from the road to the bottom corner of that screen every single time I take control of my vehicle from FSD is a dangerous distraction that on more than one occasion has almost caused an accident. It is ridiculous that Tesla imposes this dangerous feedback box on its drivers with no ability to turn it off or make it disappear without taking our eyes off the road to answer it. Please do something to require them to get rid of this dangerous mandatory feedback box before it gets people hurt or killed.
