2018 TESLA MODEL S Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TESLA MODEL S. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN FROM A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BACKWARDS IN A TIGHT CIRCLE. THE VEHICLE STRUCK SOME TREES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS PARALLEL PARKED ON THE SAME STREET. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AND TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS CONNECTED TO TESLA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT REQUESTED THE DEALER. TESLA (831-264-6896, LOCATED AT 1901 DEL MONTE BLVD, SEASIDE, CA 93955) WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW IF THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,757.

MY CAR WAS FULLY ENGAGED IN AUTO PARK AND IT HIT A CAR. I QUICKLY BRAKED TO STOP A WORSE COLLISION. I PATIENTLY WAITED FOR TESLA TO REVIEW THEIR LOGS. THEY INSIST THE AUTO PARK WAS WORKING WITHOUT FAULT."THE ENGINEERS HAVE INDEED SAID THE AUTOPARK FEATURE WAS OPERATING WITHOUT FAULT." I KEEP QUESTIONING THEM. "IF THE VEHICLE COMES INTO CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE DOES NOT MEAN THE AUTOPARK FEATURE IS OPERATING WITH FAULT,' SAYS TESLA. I REPLY, 1. WOULD YOU CLARIFY IT AND SAY THAT IF THE VEHICLE COMES INTO CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THE AUTO PARK ACTIVATED AND THE DRIVER NOT GRABBING THE WHEEL TO INTERRUPT THE PROCESS THAT THE AUTO PARK FEATURE IS OPERATING WITHOUT FAULT? 2. I REPEAT MY QUESTION AGAIN. DO THE ENGINEERS HAVE ANY REASON OR PROOF TO BELIEVE I ACTIVATED THE AUTO PARK INCORRECTLY OR IN ANYWAY INTERRUPTED THE PROGRAM TO CAUSE THE ACCIDENT? I UNDERSTAND THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR REPAIRS BUT I WANT THEM TO EITHER ADMIT THE FEATURE WAS AT FAULT OR CONVINCE ME I DID SOMETHING WRONG TO CAUSE THE ACCIDENT TO HELP PREVENT ANOTHER ACCIDENT. I THINK OTHER TESLA DRIVERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF HOW POORLY THIS WORKS. ALSO, I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN BEFOREHAND TELLING THEM THAT I DIDN'T BELIEVE THE AUTO PARK WORKED CORRECTLY. A TESLA SALESPERSON ALSO GOT IN THE CAR WITH ME AND AGREED THAT THE AUTOPARK DID NOT SEEM TO WORK. THIS PROCEEDED THE ACCIDENT. ONCE AGAIN A REPORT THAT THE ENGINEERS SEE NO FAULT.

CAR WAS STOPPED PRIOR TO ENTERING CAR GARAGE. CAR SUDDENLY REVERSED THEN SPED UP AUTONOMOUSLY AND CRASHED INTO THE HOME. SUSPECT CAR ELECTRONICS COMPROMISED AND ENDANGERED DRIVER. REQUESTING INVESTIGATION IF CAR DEFECT VS USER ERROR. THANK YOU !

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY. ON MY RIGHT WAS AN EXIT RAMP AND IN THE LEFT LANE THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE. SUDDENLY THE WARNING BUZZER WENT OFF AND THE CAR PULLED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. I QUICKLY CORRECTED TO THE RIGHT. IT SCARED ME. IN ADDITION I CAME HOME AND DROVE INTO MY GARAGE LIKE I ALWAYS DO. THE BUZZER WENT OFF AGAIN TELLING SOMETHING WAS IN THE WAY AND SHIFTED ITSELF INTO PARK. I GOT OUT OF CAR AND CHECKED TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS IN THE WAY. THERE WAS NOT. I CALLED TESLA STATING THESE THINGS WERE SAFETY ISSUES. THEY WANTED ME TO DRIVE THE CAR IN TO THE SERVICE CENTER. I TOLD THEM MY 3 AND 6 YEAR OLD GRANDKIDS WHERE STAYING WITH ME AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DOING THAT. AFTER CALLING CONTINUOUSLY FOR 2 DAYS, A LOANER WAS BROUGHT TO MY HOUSE AND MY TESLA WAS DRIVEN (NOT TOWED) TO COSTA MESA SERVICE CENTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TESLA MODEL S. WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE SPEED INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE DROVE THROUGH THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND CRASHED INTO A VEHICLE THAT WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE FRONT DRIVER'S AIR BAG AND KNEE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS HAD NOT DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED SHOULDER AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A COLLISION REPAIR FACILITY. THE DEALER (SAN DIEGO MIRAMAR TESLA, 9250 TRADE PL, SAN DIEGO, CA 92121, (858) 271-5100) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR FEEDBACK FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE WAITING TO RETRIEVE THE INFORMATION FROM THE ELECTRONIC DATA RECORDER TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49. *BF*JB

THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY MALFUNCTIONS, DEATHS AND FIRES CAUSED BY TESLA'S AUTO PILOT FEATURE. SO MANY GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS ARE GOING ON, AND THE RESULT OF SOME INVESTIGATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED SOUNDS ALARMING. TESLA'S AUTO PILOT FEATURE IS UNDER INTENSE GOVERNMENT SCRUTINY. TODAY, ELON ANNOUNCED THAT ALL TESLA CARS WILL BE FULLY AUTOMATED DRIVERLESS IN AUGUST. ELON HAS BECOME DESPERATE, INSANE AND DANGEROUS. HE HAS NO REGARD FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. IS HE CRAZY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? PLEASE STOP THIS DANGEROUS AND FRAUDULENT MAN, AND PUT HIM IN PRISON FOREVER. HE IS IRRATIONAL, CRUEL AND LETHAL. IT REMINDS ME OF PRESIDENT ASSAD OF SYRIA USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS ON HIS OWN PEOPLE. IT ALSO REMINDS ME OF SADDAM HOSSEIN USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS ON KURDISH PEOPLE AND ON IRANIAN SOLDIERS DURING IRAN IRAQ WAR. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN A CONVENTIONAL WAR. HOWEVER, SADDAM HOSSEIN DID SO AND KILLED SO MANY IRANIAN SOLDIERS DURING THE 8 YEAR WAR BETWEEN IRAN AND IRAQ. I SAW PICTURES OF SO MANY IRANIAN SEVERELY INJURED AND BURNED SOLDIERS BEING AIR LIFTED TO GERMANY FROM THE WAR ZONE, BECAUSE IRAN DIDN'T HAVE THE MEDICAL CAPABILITY TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION. NOTHING CAN BE DONE ANYWAYS. ONCE YOU ARE EXPOSED TO MUSTARD GAS, YOU'RE FINISHED. IT'S JUST THE MATTER OF QUICK DEATH, OR VERY PAINFUL PROLONGED DEATH. ELON NOW HAS TURNED TO CHEMICAL WEAPONS OUT OF DESPERATION JUST LIKE SADDAM HOSSEIN AND BASHAR ASSAD. THANKS.
