MIDDLE SCREEN WENT OUT PUTTING THE CAR IN 'LIMP MODE' HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND WE DIDN'T HAVE HEADLIGHTS OR TURN SIGNALS! HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT TWO HOURS FROM HOME WHEN WE TRIED PUTTING A ROUTE IN THE TOUCH SCREEN AFTER SETTING THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE FOR 2 AM THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THE CAR HAS 101K MILES THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 100K MILES. WE NOTIFIED TESLA OF THE PROBLEMS WE'VE BEEN HAVING WITH OUR SCREEN FREEZING AND REAR VIEW CAMERA RANDOMLY NOT WORKING WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE TECHS SAID 'EVERYTHING IS FINE AND IT MUST HAVE BEEN A FLUKE' NOW THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE NOW SUDDENLY KNOW THE PROBLEM AND A SOLUTION! THIS DEFECT IS SCARY AND LEFT US STRANDED AND UNABLE TO NAVIGATE TO A SAFE AREA OFF THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS!!! WHY WOULD THEY JEOPARDIZE SAFETY OVER MONEY!

MCU CENTRAL COMPUTER FAILED, SO TURN SIGNALS AND BACKUP CAMERA ARE UNAVAILABLE, AS WELL AS CLIMATE CONTROL, AUDIO, NAVIGATION, VEHICLE STATUS

TESLA MODEL S MAIN SCREEN DIED. IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE ON EARLY MODEL S WITH MCDU VERSION 1. A CHIP ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD CAN ONLY HANDLE XXX AMOUNTS OF WRITES, OR WRITE OVERS, THEN GIVES UP. SCREEN GOES BLANK. MOST MODEL S CAR FUNCTIONS ARE CONTROLLED ON THE MAIN SCREEN. MY SCREEN FAILED WHILE DRIVING. UNABLE TO SET OR CONTROL CHARGING. UNABLE TO TURN OFF A/C. UNABLE TO HEAR TURN SIGNALS. UNABLE TO TURN ON OR CONTROL HEADLIGHTS. UNABLE TO CLOSE SUNROOF. UNABLE TO CHANGE SUSPENSION SETTINGS. UNABLE TO CHANGE STEERING SETTINGS.

INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE MCU1 OME, CAUSING INTERMITTENT MAIN SCREEN BLACKOUT, TURN SIGNAL MALFUNCTION, A/C DISABLING. REBOOTING REQUIRED MCU TO BE UPGRADED/REPLACED OUT OF WARRANTY

CAR WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE FOR A FEW DAYS AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE MCU IS TOTALLY BLACK AND KNOWN TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE EMMC CHIP USED REPORTED BY MANY OTHER MODEL S OWNERS. AS THIS CONTROLS MAJORITY OF THE FUNCTIONS, I CAN NOT CONTROL ANY OF THE CAR'S INSTRUMENTS EXCEPT FOR DRIVING. BLINKERS DO NOT WORK, NO AC, REAR VIEW CAMERA DOESN'T WORK, BATTERY RANGE NO LONGER VISIBLE SO ITS QUITE UNSAFE TO DRIVE.
