2024 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

While using autopilot with beta self driving installed and stopped at a traffic light, left or right turn traffic signal turning green causes car to move into oncoming traffic (moves straight through intersection).

My wife and I purchased a model Y 2024 just a few weeks ago. We have had multiple experiences when using cruise control where the car inexplicably slows down rapidly when there are no vehicles in front of us decelerating.

The battery coolant started leaking when we connected the car to a supercharger. After charging a low coolant warning came up on the screen, but the message read “OK to drive”. Started driving home when more alerts came up “Power reduced” and “Speed limited to 68 mph” but still showed “OK to drive”. About 30 miles later the screen abruptly shut down on the freeway. Was able to pull over to a stop on the shoulder and call a tow truck. Screen never came back up even after attempting to restart, car is now at the service center. There is a pump that has continued running for over 2 days without stopping. The interior lights turn on and off every 30 seconds. There has been no damage from road debris or anything else to this car. The vehicle only had ~350 miles on it, and we only had it for 3 days before it malfunctioned. The screen displays vital information such as speed, turn indicators, and so on. Without the screen being on it is not possible to safely operate the vehicle.

While using Autopilot or Beta self-driving - when a Minimum Speed Limit sign is detected on [XXX] in Georgia, the system usually reduces to the speed of the vehicle to posted minimum speed (40 miles an hour) instead of maintaining current speed limit.

While driving to work, using FSD, the autopilot steered me into the path of an overtaking vehicle moving at about 20 mph faster than my vehicle. By quickly taking over steering and speed control, I was able to avoid a collision. A couple miles further down the road, the car could not decide on which exit lane to use, and weaved between two possibilities, probably alarming and angering drivers behind me. Again, I had to take over control. Taking over speed and steering control was necessary two more times in my 25 minute trip, most of it on well-marked multi-lane highways. Of the four incidents, only one would have resulted in a serious high speed collision, had I not taken over very quickly. Having coached robotics competitions, and piloted aircraft with autopilot, it is my opinion that the FSD (SUPERVISED) software is at alpha stage in development (not yet up to beta stage, at which it could be safely released only to select skilled drivers, with suitable disclaimers and warnings) . At delivery, no introduction to the car's controls is provided, so customers are on their own regarding finding out, by trial and error and the occasional potentially lethal collision, how to safely drive the vehicle with FSD engaged. The manufacturer should be required to instruct all customers on the very high level of vigilance required to operate with FSD engaged.

The contact owns a 2024 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed in the rain, the auto windshield wipers failed to function as designed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30.

The contact owns a 2024 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that after downloading the software, upon engaging the Auto Pilot, and driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle crashed into a curb. There were no warning lights illuminated. There were no reported injuries. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 1,024.

The headlamp design of the 2024 Tesla Model Y creates a shadow (or shadows) that cannot be adjusted away. These shadows could be a contributing factor if an accident were to occur. Tesla Service has stated there is nothing more they can do regarding adjustment. Initially, there were two shadows. The user-friendly headlamp adjustment on the touchscreen allows only up-down adjustment after the system self-calibrates. Tesla Service manually adjusted the physical headlamps but did not resolve the shadows. This adjustment merely relocated the shadows while creating an additional horizontal shadow. I believe the reflector design of the headlamp is the issue. This is my third Tesla, and prior models did not have this issue. It is best to see video examples, but this form does not allow the file type and I suspect YouTube links would be blocked/removed. Please Advise.

Electrical system had 7 alerts/warning scroll on screen. Said vehicle was going to shut down. Regenerative braking system failed. Pulled car into a parking spot. Vehicle would not go into park so I could not take foot off of brake. Started to shift between park and neutral randomly. Was told by Tesla to reboot car. Did this three times, but nothing changed. Tesla dealership reproduced and confirmed. There were no warnings or messages before the incident.

Turned wheel sharply to the left in order avoid hitting neighbors fences. Vehicle traveled in an arch and collided with a tree next to an fence and stopped.
