Something similar happened to me as well, but I was doing left turn crossing the incoming traffic flow. There was enough space and time for me to cross the lane, but the car thought differently and triggered the collision avoidance.

so far, I managed to overcome it by reducing the sensitive to the lowest possible level

Same thing happened to me when taking a left turn. Car slammed on the brakes, jerking me around in the cabin. Luckily no accident, just a bruised ego in front of the onlookers.

Same thing happened to me (locked brakes + beeping + collision warning on dash) while making an unprotected left turn. My 2022 RWD must have thought I was turning too soon. Fortunately, nobody was behind me.

From now on I'll keep a little distance if I'm behind someone in a left turn lane in case their car has the same feature.

These are safety problems. Report them to NHTSA

Yeah that happens to me a lot with left turns also when I start rolling waiting for an incoming car to pass.
How do you change the sensitivity level?

I don’t see any response as to how you can change the sensitivity level. I’ve never experienced this on my 2021 Taycan CPO after 10 months but I would be very disappointed if I do.
I would want the collision avoidance set to the lowest level.

You hit the home button and then click Vehicle app. From there choose Assistance menu on top. Click the bottom right hand side three dots button. Inside Warn and Brake assist you will have sensitivity level to choose from.

Thanks so much!
