2016 TESLA MODEL S Complaints

MCU FAILURE CAUSING NO A/C, AND CAUSING NON CRITICAL ELECTRONICS TO BECOME INOPERATIVE DUE TO DESIGN DEFECT

THE MAIN COMPUTER TURNS RIGHT OFF A COUPLE TIMES A DAY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, MOST SAFETY FEATURES ARE DISABLED AND THE CARS ELECTRONIC STOP WORKING. THE CPU IS KNOWN TO HAVE ISSUES BECAUSE A CHIP INSIDE GETS OVERLOADED AND DOES NOT CLEAR ITSELF PROPERLY. A RECALL SHOULD BE HAD TO REPLACE THIS CHIP THAT DOES NOT REMOVE THE CASHE PROPERLY.

CENTRAL TOUCH SCREEN UNIT ALSO KNOWN AS MCU1 THAT CONTROLS MOST OF THE VEHICLE'S FUNCTIONS IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. RESPONSE TIME IS VERY SLOW, IT LAGS AND RAMDOMLY RESTARTS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

THE CENTRAL CLUSTER DISPLAY DIED COMPLETELY, BLACK SCREEN. NO AC, NO TURN SIGNAL AVAILABLE.

MCU COMPUTER IS BLACKING OUT AND REQUIRES CONSTANT RESETS. CONNECTION TO THE APP IS SPOTY. COMPUTER SHOWING SIGNS IF NOT WORKING PROPERLY. REPORTED TO TESLA. WAS TOLD THEY CLEARED MY MEMORY AND THEY ARE 'DIVERTING MY CONCERNS'

MAIN DISPLAY FAILURE. UNABLE TO VISUALIZE CONTROLS. TEMP OVER 100 DEGREES IN CAR. COULD NOT DEFOG WINDOWS. UNABLE TO OUT CAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE

UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE TOUCHSCREEN REMAINED BLANK AND THE A/C WAS BLOWING. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY WAS WORKING AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE SPEED CONTROL AND AUTO ASSIST FUNCTIONS WERE ABLE TO BE ENGAGED, BUT DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS DID NOT FUNCTION WHILE DRIVING AND THE A/C DID NOT TURN OFF AFTER LEAVING THE VEHICLE. THE PHONE APP WAS NOT ABLE TO CONNECT TO THE VEHICLE AS WELL. WE DO NOT KNOW WHY THE TOUCHSCREEN FAILED TO WORK. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN DIRECTLY TO THE TESLA DEALER AND LEFT TO BE EVALUATED.

TESLA MCU (MEDIA CONTROL UNIT) HAS WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED EMMC CHIP THAT WILL FAIL ON ALL MODEL S AND X CARS FROM 2012 TO SUMMER 2018. THIS WAS A RESULT OF TESLA ENGINEERING WRITING THEIR LOGS TO THE EMMC WHICH HAS LIMITED NUMBER OF WRITE CYCLES, TESLA HAS SINCE RESOLVED WHERE LOGS ARE WRITTEN BUT THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE. TESLA REFUSES TO ACCEPT THIS MISTAKE AND WILL CHARGE USERS $1300+ TO REPLACE. WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS THE FOLLOWING SAFETY ISSUES HAPPEN BLINKERS DO NOT WORK. DRIVE AFTER A 30 SECOND TIMEOUT NO AEB (ADVANCED EMERGENCY BRAKING) NO CONTROLLING SUSPENSION HEIGHT NO MANUAL CONTROL OF HEADLIGHT LIGHTS NO BLINKER SOUNDS STEERING MODE DEFAULTS TO SOME SETTING (E.G. IF I HAVE IT SET TO SPORT, DURING REBOOT OF MCU IS CHANGES TO STANDARD OR COMFORT, NOT SURE BUT I CAN FEEL THE STEERING WHEEL TAKE LESS EFFORT TO TURN THAN MY NORMAL SPORT MODE) NO HVAC (HEAT, COOL, VENT) NO DEFROSTERS NO SEAT HEATERS NO STEERING WHEEL HEATERS NO RADIO/STREAMING NO APP CONNECTIVITY TO CONTROL THE CAR NO ABILITY TO SEE THE CAR CHARGE STATUS FROM APP TRIP A/B PROFILES USER SETTINGS HOMELINK BLUETOOTH PAIRINGS NO REAR VIEW CAMERA THIS ISSUES HAPPENING TO ALL MODELS WORLD WIDE REFERENCE THIS POST TO SEE THE HUNDREDS OF USERS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS AND FORCE TO SEEK ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF REPAIR THAT IS NOT TESLA APPROVED. AT WHICH AT ANY POINT TESLA COULD REMOVE FEATURES FROM CARS FOR NOT USING ONE OF THEIR APPROVED SERVICE CENTERS. WHICH APPOINTMENTS ARE OVER ONE MONTH OUT, FORCING MOST USERS TO DRIVE THEIR CAR IN UNSAFE MANORS

MEDIA CONTROL UNIT SCREEN CYCLES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING A TOTAL LOSS OF CRITICAL SAFETY CONTROLS INCLUDING LIGHTING, DEFROSTING, AND REVERSE CAMERA CAPABILITIES. TESLA RECORDED THIS COMPLAINT PREVIOUSLY AS A COSMETIC ISSUE AND AGREED TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY, ONLY TO LATER RETRACT.

THE WHOLE SCREEN IN THE CAR IS BLACK - CANT TURN ON AC, MUSIC, SUNROOF, OR BACK UP CAMERA. LOSS OF REAR AND FRONT VIEW CAMERA
