2022 TESLA MODEL S Complaints

Tesla floor Mats are being held in place by small pieces of Velcro. These mats continually slide and get stuck under the pedals. Tesla has refused to address this common problem.

Severe inner tire wear on the rear tires of Tesla Model S and X. I have a brand new 2022 Model S Long Range model and started noticing heavy inner tread wear on the OEM tires at only 15k miles. The car defaults the suspension to "Low" which goes into negative camber and wears out the inside of the rear tires. This is a known problem and discussed often online.

Car has a small capacitive touch button for horn instead of center-press. During emergency incidents, it is not possible to react quickly and hit the horn, which has led to several near-misses due to a delay in alerting other drivers with the horn while searching for the horn button, which moves as the wheel (yoke) turns.

Phantom braking continues to be a problem. I've never had it happen in the city or in traffic. I also owned a 2015 Tesla MS that NEVER had a phantom braking problem. For me PB has always occurred on a freeway with no traffic around at all. No overpass involved. Suddenly TACC thinks it must apply the brakes. Surely at least Tesla could log this kind of event and fix it. It's aggravating for me as a driver and terrifies passengers.

When using traffic-aware cruise control at normal highway speed, on regular, clear days — including when there is no glare — the system often brakes abruptly, despite the absence of obstacles or even shadows that could be misinterpreted as obstacles. This is extremely dangerous, and it has happened (1) when there are no other vehicles on the road, and (2) when the only other vehicle on the road is directly behind me. The latter scenario is particularly dangerous. Notably, the only cruise control available is traffic-aware cruise control. There is no ‘basic’ cruise control, which means there is no way to avoid this scary phantom braking other than by not using cruise control at all. I have tried disabling all ADAS automatic braking features, yet this phenomenon still occurs. This has been occurring with all software up to date. I am scared that my car is going to kill me.

Dangerous Phantom Braking: this has occurred many times including very dangerous situations in high speed interstate hwy settings. The car will slam on the brakes for no apparent reason often with cars following closely behind. I have completely stopped using “full self driving” as it is a death trap and people will certainly die because of its use.

The horn is a small button on the steering wheel which isn't easily located in an emergency. Tesla has said a software update was coming to move the horn to the center as with all other vehicles but it still hasn't done so. This could cause accidents while a driver is searching for the horn.

While utilizing the car’s cruise control (TRAAC) and the advanced autopilot features, the car brakes often, unexpectedly and without warning when there are no hazards or vehicles in its path. This is a well documented problem called “phantom braking” involving Teslas. My experiences include traveling on straight open highway with no other vehicle’ within hundreds of yards. Scary and unsafe.

Yolk turn signal button issues. Does not register a click. Issue has also been reported on the following site with a video demonstrating the issue. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/yolk-turn-signal-button-issues-does-not-register-a-click.285402/

The hood/frunk open by itself. I was driving at around 25 MPH when hood/frunk suddenly opened. This is a serious saftey issue luckily I was able to avoid an accident as I could not see with the hood obstructing view. Vehicle will be taken to Tesla for inspection. No warning lamps or indications Also seems as if there is no secondary latch.
