2016 TESLA MODEL X Complaints

I WENT TO START MY CAR AND THE SCREEN WAS BLACK. MY CAR HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN FOR 5 MONTHS SINCE I WAS TRAVELING. I HAD CLEARED ALL OF THE MEMORY (NAVIGATION, ADDRESSES, MUSIC STATIONS, ETC.), PRIOR TO LEAVING. I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND THE TURNING SIGNALS DIDN'T WORK. THE SAFETY OF THE CAR FELT COMPROMISED SINCE THE TURNING SIGNALS, REAR BACKUP CAMERA, SUSPENSION -BASICALLY MOST OF THE CAR CONTROLS WERE IN-OPERATABLE.

THE CAR DOESN'T TAKE CHARGE. I DROVE MY CAR TO TRY DIFFERENT CHARGING SPOT IN THE SAME SUPERCHARGING STATION AND TRY IN ANOTHER CHARGING STATION. THE CAR DOESN'T CHARGE. IT WAS A WEEKEND WHEN THE CAR HAS CHARGING ISSUE. EVENTUALLY THE CAR JUST OUT OF JUICE. WON'T OPEN IT LET ME IN AND I HAVE TO TOW THE CAR TO SERVICE CENTER IN THE MONDAY SERVICE BUSINESS DAY. IT NEEDS SPECIAL TOWING WITH DOLLY. BECASUE OF THE CAR OUT OF JUICE THE 12V BATTERY IS DEAD TOO AFTER THAT. CHARGING PORT IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO TESLA BUT AFTER ALL THE REPAIR. I WAS CHARGED OF $1300

THE TOUCHSCREEN BECOME LESS RESPONSIVE THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THE POWER-UP TIME BECOMES LONGER, THE SCREEN WOULD FREEZE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REBOOTED, AND ON JULY 24TH THE MCU UNIT IS A TOTAL FAILURE. I COULDN'T EVEN DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL TESLA MOBILE SERVICE COMES OUT TO CYCLE THE POWER OF 24V. THE COST IS $85 OF DIAGNOSTICS FEE BUT HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING BESIDES THAT IT IS NOT RESPONSIVE. AFTER THAT I HAVE TO RESCHEDULE ANOTHER VISITS WHICH IS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL AUG 12TH. I CAN DRIVE NOW WITH BLACK MCU BUT I CAN'T CONTROL BLINKERS. MY BLINKERS ARE ALWAYS OFF. VERY UNSAFE. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 55K MILES. IT IS RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. THE MOBILE SERVICE AND PHONE CALL WITH SERVICE SHOP IN RENO LOCATION BOTH SUGGEST ME TO REPLACE TO A NEW MCU AND SINCE IT IS OUT OF POCKET IT MAKES SENSE TO DO A MCU UPGRADE INSTEAD. TOTAL WITH PART $2500 IT WOULD BE AROUND $3000.

CLUNK SOUND FROM FRONT WHEELS AT LOW SPEEDS. . TESLA. SAYS IT IS THE UPPER SUSPENSION ARMS - ABSURD FOR A CAR WITH 25K ON IT AND NOT OFF-ROAD ALSO TESLA BLAINS THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE WITH NO ESTIMATION OF THE REPAIR TO BE DONE FOR THE OPEN RECALL

THE MCU IS DEAD. CAR CANNOT BE OPERATED SAFELY. NO SIDE BLINKERS, NO HORN, NO AC. AT THIS POINT MY CAR CANNOT EVEN TURN ON AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN. CONTACTED TESLA, BUT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY SENT ME HOME AS PARTS WERE OUT OF STOCK. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS BLINKERS DON'T WORK.

FIRST ENCOUNTERED WHILE DRIVING TO TOWN AND IT JUST KEPT GETTING WORSE OVER TIME, ALMOST DID NOT MAKE IT HOME. HAD TO PAY ABOUT $700 TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE TESLA REPAIR CENTER IN DENVER, COLORADO. STARTED TO NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY MUSIC, THEN NO TURN SIGNAL AND THEN BIG SCREEN WHEN BLACK. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WOULD NOT TAKE A CHARGE ANYMORE AND MANY OTHER SMALL ISSUES KEEPS PILING ON CURRENT ISSUE IS WITH THE MCU1 (RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED)

MY MCU HAS BEGUN TO FAIL. NOT ALLOWING ME TO HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE CAR. EXAMPLES ARE... SAFETY ISSUES LIKE LOSS OF BACKUP CAMERA, LOSS OF TURNING SIGNALS, LOSS OF EMERGENCY HAZARD LIGHTS, LOSS OF HEADLIGHT CONTROLS, UNLOCKING DOORS FROM INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND OPENING ELECTRONIC DOORS.

CENTER SCREEN (MCU) DIES/FREEZES UP WHILE DRIVING AND MUST TRY TO RESET ALL THE TIME. TESLA REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPOSIBILITY AND REPLACE WITH NEW MCU UNDER WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON JULY 31 AT ABOUT 7PM, THE CENTER TOUCHSCREEN WENT BLACK AND WOULD NOT RESET USING TESLA INSTRUCTIONS. VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE A/C AND CLIMATE CONTROLS WERE THEREFORE STUCK IN THE ON POSITION WITH NO RECOURSE. ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS HANDLED BY TOUCHSCREEN WERE INOPERATIVE. TESLA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED ON MORNING OF AUG 1 FOR OIPTIONS, BUT RESET PROTOCOLS OFFERRED DID NOTHING TO HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM. CAR TAKEN IN TO TESLA SERVICE CENTER ON AUG 2, WITH INOPERATIVE MCU IDENTIFIED AS THE CAUSE ON AUG 3. REPAIR COST ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT $1500. I THEN FOUND OUT THE REPAIR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY ONLY BECAUSE TESLA HAD SHORTENED THE WARRANTY BY 2 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IF THE WARRANTY WAS AS STATED WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, THIS REPAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY TESLA. SORRY, NO USEFUL PICS OR DOCS APPY AT THIS POINT, AS REPAIR HAS NOT YET BEEN MADE.

TOTAL MAIN COMPUTER FAILURE (MCU) - MANY SAFETY FEATURES WERE UNACCESSIBLE AND NOT AVAILABLE INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS STOP WORKING, THE SETTINGS FOR AUTOPILOT AND DRIVING ARE GONE, THE SUSPENSION SETTINGS, THE ABILITY TO TURN ON HEADLIGHTS MANUALLY, ABILITY TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THE VEHICLE, NAVIGATION, A/C, SUNROOF CONTROLS, ETC.
