2022 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

Hello it's me for the 500th time. I was sitting at a light when a new song came on that's actually a movie clip from Pulp Fiction directed by [XXX] about hitmen that kill people that speak out, like whistleblowers; for their boss. So I'm sitting at the light and the cars behind me are all glitching between 3 lanes but nobody is moving and my volume is up and it starts 'yelling' "STORING DEAD [XXX] AINT MY [XXX] BUSINESS!". This was soon after almost being ran off the road by a white Cadillac escalade that I called in and reported to the local PD. I was rear ended by a white Cadillac escalade in 2019, I almost died and received death threats while leaving a competitors business. and I'm permanently partially handicapped at 31 years old. About 1 mile down the road my car started encountering 'ghost cars' that show up on the GUI of the screen but aren't actually there in real life lol. Just so I'm clear the car is basically threatening me after Tesla says there's nothing wrong with it so I disabled my $12,000 FSD and will be keeping this car in the garage from now on. Here's the link to my shadow banned Instagram that holds all the videos of this car trying to kill me because the government wants to cover it up. The FBI actually tried to SWAT me in the middle of the night for the second time in 3 years 2 nights ago but luckily the Sargent was cool and a desert storm veteran so he knows what's up. Truly terrifying! https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsxNKLNRh-3/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Tesla refused my Lemon Law surrender and claims there's nothing wrong with the car once again, big surprise! They messed up my dashcam during fake service regardless of legally consenting to being video and audio recorded (VERY clear NOTICE stickers on the doors) when entering the vehicle which I own; it is NOT leased. Consent is important, without consent things become crimes. Like if a flight attendant says no to sex with her boss Elon you cant just rape her and then offer her a horse after and get away with it. Anyways the automatic indicators that Elon suggested everyone try on Twitter the other night doesn't actually work for automatically turning on or off with or without AP and FSD. I decided to turn off my FSD that I paid $12,000 because its a death trap. Here's a video since Tesla says I'm imagining it and I must be schizophrenic or something but this is exactly why I record everything and trust nobody. The link probably doesn't work because the government is trying to silence me in this huge coverup. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsxNyMLsFkK/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

We have 2 drivers in the family. Using the Tesla app, one individual accidentally opened the trunk of the car while the other individual was driving that car several miles away. The car was in "drive", not in "park". Luckily the car was going at a slow speed so there was no accident. But the open trunk blocks the view out the rear view mirror. And the vehicle and its contents are not secure when it is driving in this mode (it is open to the road in the rear of the car as it is a hatchback-style car). This has happened twice in the last 3 months, the most recent on May 11, 2023. The confusion that led to both accidental openings of the trunk is that the family has 2 Teslas, so the individual operating the app meant to open the trunk on the other car that he was about to drive. It is an easy mistake to make when a family has multiple Teslas set up in their app. Another disturbing part of the event was that in both cases, the driver had no way to close the trunk from within the car unless the car was stopped and then placed in park. The Tesla trunk can only be opened and closed by the driver inside the car when it is in park. But the Tesla app can open and close the trunk when it is in park or drive. The car should only allow the trunk to open when it is in park, even if the app requests it to open. Upon reporting this to Tesla on May 25, the service team ran diagnostics on the car and said that there were no issues with the car. And then the issue was passed on to engineering to look at. Tesla did not report to me whether this was an intended use of the Tesla app or if there was a problem with my specific car.

WHY I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT: I am writing to you upon the advice of the CA Attorney General's office. Their guidance was in response to a question I submitted on their web about safe and legal towing with the Model Y factory-installed towing package. PROBLEM: Risk of silent brake controller failure. VEHICLES IMPACTED Model Y's with the Lithium Ion low voltage battery & towing trailers 1500 lbs or more. TECHNICAL ISSUES: The lithium Ion low-voltage battery operates at 15.5v, out of the normal 12v operating range. The wiring harness sends 15.5 v to the brake controller. Brake controllers connected to the Model Y towing harness do not throw an error. High voltage through a 12 v brake controller may result in unexpected brake controller failure per controller manufacturer's support teams. Tesla disconnected the 12v aux power to the 7-pin towing connector. This power is used for RF trailer brake controllers. RF brake controllers don't get the required power. RF Brake controllers will throw an error & the driver knows the brake system isn't connected correctly. WHY DO I KNOW THIS? I bought the Model Y to tow my 2,000 lb teardrop trailer w/ a Prodigy/Tekonsha RF Brake controller. When I attempted to connect & verify the rig was in spec, I discovered there was no power to the 7-pin plug. While troubleshooting, I found a Twitter post that described the problem, said Tesla disconnected the power & there would be a retrofit in mid-2022. See attached. ATTEMPTED RESOLUTION I've worked with Tesla Rocklin CA for a year. They submitted cases, escalated, and even unsuccessfully tried to connect a 24v controller. A fix isn't hard. I've heard corp. didn't expect people to tow. COMMUNICATION: To my knowledge, there's been no communication to affected owners or to brake controller manufacturers. NO FIX PLANNED Tesla Corp. doesn't intend to fix it or communicate to owners. See attached. ACTION NEEDED People towing may be at risk of silent brake controller failure.

1. Personally, I believe ALL NEW CARS should be required to put BLIND SPOT MONITORING NOTIFICATION LIGHTS in the side mirrors ! It is such a GREAT SAFETY ADDITION. Tesla does not have it. 2. I have had the car since 4/16/22. I have replaced the windshield x 2 already and this weekend a rock hit the windshield which now needs to be replaced again. 4 windshields in 13 months? Is there a proble m with the windshields?

I HAVE HAD 3 BROKEN WINDSHIELDS IN 9,400 MILES OF TRAVEL. I AM PRETTY SURE EACH WAS CAUSED BY FLYING ROCKS, BUT AT ONE REPAIR THE TESLA SERVICE MANAGER MENTIONED THAT THE WINDSHIELDS ARE VERY THIN TO SAVE WEIGHT. I BELIEVE THE WINDSHIELDS ARE VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE. I HAVE A 2018 TESLA MODEL 3 WITH 90,000 MILES THAT HAS NEVER HAD A CRACKED WINDSHIELD DRIVING IN THE SAME LOCALE. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY PROBLEM IF THE WINDSHIELD CRACKS AT SPEED. I DON’T THINK CRACKED WINDSHIELDS ARE REPORTED AS FAULTS, BUT I BET THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MANY Y’S WITH CRACKED WINDSHIELDS.

On Tuesday, May 16, I was driving on a city road at about 45mph when I began to hear metal noises coming from the front of my car. I slowed down and entered a shopping center driveway to inspect the noise. Upon pulling into the driveway of that center, I heard a metal snapping sound, my steering wheel jerked to the right, and grinding sounds started at the front axle of the car. I stopped immediately. Realizing something broke, I wanted to get out of the driveway, and tested if it would move in all directions. Ultimately, I could get the car to get straight at low speed, but if I attempted to steer left or right, the grinding would occur. I moved my car to a safe location and called Tesla Roadside Service to get towed to their service facility. There were no warning messages from the car before or after the incident. Had the part broken while traveling at higher speeds, or a winding road, I could have easily been involved in a deadly incident. I got lucky! I heard similar sounds from the same area about 4 months ago, and took the car in for service. Tesla service replaced the lower left hand front suspension link, lateral link and stabilizer bar on February 28, 2023. I do not have the details of all the parts replaced for this latest incident yet, as it is still at Tesla Service awaiting a replacement "Subframe Assembly Kit" according to my service rep. Lastly, I was not involved in an accident when this occurred, nor have I ever been involved in an accident in this vehicle.

The 21 inches uberturbine wheel breaks to easy with not too big road holes. It cause the tire to loose air pressure and can cause a serious accident. The machine shop has a lot of them to be repaired. For the money it cost, it should have a better quality wheel.

The USB charging plug inside the middle console burned my charger causing smoke inside the cabin. Tesla has rescheduled the appt once already and doesn't seem to be a concern to them. This is a huge safety concern as it could have caused a fire if items were near this USB plug.

Leaving Mothers day dinner at Disney Orlando with all 3 generations of family in the car and I click 'Home' and the map sets a charging station in Miami 120miles away in the wrong direction, the FSD and AP wont work and the cars gps goes completely black. That doesn't even make sense, there was the Hooter's supercharger down the street and several others in Miami and probably a dozen more between Disney and Miami. If I wasn't a professional driver I fear this many bugs and susceptibilities could kill my entire lineage. Texting and driving is illegal and dangerous, that's got nothing on a malfunctioning Tesla screen while driving main street Disney. Look out [XXX] there's a new kid on the block, [XXX] doesn't need a tunnel to disappear your whole family. He can do it in broad daylight on mainstreet Disney in front of the police, God and the NHTSA and after you report it 30 times nobody will do anything about it.
