Wow, Tesla doesn't have auto emergency braking? Even my Kia has that - adaptive cruise for following cars, auto emergency braking for stationary objects (and when the car in front of you suddenly slows down). Yeah, I'll keep my Kia...

My 2015 S70D (AP1 presumably) does start complaining if it thinks I'm about to collide with a stationary vehicle. Whether it would actually stop the car is not something I have had the nerve to test. Perhaps I should find a deserted car park and put out some cardboard boxes and see what happens. The problem is that cardboard doesn't reflect radar well.

Could you wrap the cardboard in aluminum foil?

Worth a try.

JFYI, a (five year old) video from "Fifth Gear":

I simply love the inflated "dummy car".

It does but it cannot detect stopped object which apparently is a standard limitation. Besides aeb is made to reduce crash speed the car will still crash.
