2022 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

On Saturday, 3/4/2023, I stopped at a supercharger lot to charge my car during a trip. As I entered the lot, I noticed that the road conditions were poor, almost like a gravel road. To be cautious, I drove slowly towards the three empty parking spaces in the middle of the lot, intending to park in the middle spot. I noticed that the road conditions were even worse in front of the parking spot, but it looked wide and not too deep, so I didn't think it warranted serious concern. I carefully maneuvered the car around to prepare for backing up. I've been using the HOLD braking mode, which allows for one-pedal driving, for more than five months. Just as I lifted my foot off the accelerator, the car jerked forward from a small pothole. I still expected the car to come to a stop, as my foot wasn't touching the pedal. I made a comment to my passenger that I was puzzled why the car was still moving as I looked down at my foot far above the pedals. Suddenly, there was a really loud sound (like revving if I remember correctly) that I had never heard before, which surprised both me and my passenger. We exchanged a puzzled look just as the car suddenly jumped forward at full power and hit the car in front of us before I could do anything to stop it. I believe that this was a software issue related to overcompensation of losing traction control on both sides as the car came to a stop. It's important to note that I did not purchase Tesla's Full Self Driving and was not using any driving assistance features at the time of the accident. In addition, I believe you can request more data from Tesla. I do not have access to the camera recording of interior scene. Luckily, both me and my passenger as well as the two people in the front seats in the other vehicle (also same white Tesla Model Y) were not injured. I can't get Tesla insurance to even investigate the accident. After the accident, I noticed that the Tesla App reported that Automatic Emergency Brake is disabled (only occur)

Repeated random breaking when in cruise control or auto steer. It is available for inspection upon request. Car abruptly stopped on busy road at 60 miles per hour more than once. Slows on expressway repeatedly, which can potentially cause loss of control or being hit from behind. Vehicle has not been inspected for this issue. There have been no warnings of the problem prior to the failure. This problem has happened the entire time I’ve owned the car, especially, but not only, when driving on freeways.

Trunk hatch allows water ingress, soaking interior carpet and accumulating interior plastic components and draining down to the trunk hatch latch. It has been into Tesla service three times for the same issue and the issue persists.

Same issue I've been reporting several months. This morning I downloaded yet another software update, got in my car, drove to Chick-fil-a on a Sunday because Tesla has not fixed this fatal braking bug on the highway for a non-existent round-a-bout so I use that for the car to navigate to. The car tries to get on the state road instead of the highway so I cancel and take over and drive onto the highway/expressway myself. After a couple miles the FSD finally takes over in a 70mph zone and reduces my speed to 45mph and stays at 45mph while passing several 70mph signs it clearly sees in its own 'Tesla vision' on the map in AR(Augmented reality). I cancel and speed back up to 70 before the next overpass where the car puts its hazards on, pulls into the slow lane, says it's executing a round-a-bout. Comes to a complete stop on the highway with hazards while in the travel lane, cars whipping past me on the driver side. Then the car starts yelling at me to grab the wheel which I've never let go of during this entire event so I shake the wheel vigorously left and right and the car does not process that I'm holding the wheel (This is so Tesla can commit fraud when they blame it on the driver and buy more time because NHTSA rules aren't up-to-date on software patches and NHTSA needs to just recall all FSD because Tesla has displayed inability to repair) THEN to add the cherry on top while the car is stopped on the highway, yelling at me to pay attention while I'm shaking the wheel; I press the door open button and my door opens into the fast lane; allowing the (inattentive driver) to unconsciously fall onto the highway in the fast lane at 0mph while not in drive. I have been reporting these vulnerabilities for months specifically the bluetooth radio vulnerability that was just proven in a hacking competition where Tesla awarded a new car and $350,000 for a vulnerability I was reporting 6 months before. https://drive.google.com/file/d/11KURZKFfS4axS21PqYd_urDZLcHTuOzP/view

Hello, me again! So I downloaded the newest software update and in less than 24 hours and less than 1 hour of using 'Full Self Driving' and 'Auto Pilot' before the car tried to kill me and other people as usual. Same road I've been reporting for months 429 Eastbound and Westbound (Sanford FL) the car will confuse 429 with SR46 (1,000ft north) and when it gets to any of the overpasses with round-a-bouts underneath the bridge the car starts to stop on the highway (0mpg in a 70mph zone). This is absolutely terrifying; what's even more terrifying is that Tesla is claiming the cars FSD works on 'Artificial Intelligence' but that is a LIE because the car and Tesla have not learned from my many reports and have made zero changes. The only good change they made was my suggestion to Tesla in one of my many complaints about this lemon car they ripped me off on is allowing me to send them a 10 second voice clip describing what went wrong in the car (which once again was my idea) when actually using it sometimes my heartrate is still so high from cars whipping past me 70mph while I'm going 0mph that its hard to even articulate in words what happened so quickly; assuming Tesla even reviews the report and makes changes which they haven't for about 6 months of me reporting it. Car still tries to drive me off road over a transformer at home that is clearly visible on Tesla gps map which could turn the car into a bomb (so I was told by an Uber passenger who works on transformers and was leaving an OSHA meeting about a transformer blowing up on him and his coworkers). 9/10 times it's right but I know its not truly 'Intelligent' because why would it ever revert to a path I've canceled so many times? I'm calling Tesla's bluff and also they deleted me after applying to the AI Engineer job posting on their website when I started reporting these errors because Tesla doesn't really care about their customers like me. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-Jk4oLzgfERV0DaSpHygCn60Anj2Xq_a/view

I have owned this car for about a year with ~10,000 miles of driving. Four times in the last year, during high way driving, I had sudden deceleration using adaptive cruise control of at least 20 mph at highway speeds. It seems to me that in each case I was to the left of a semitrailer truck and it appears to me that the imaging software believed the truck to my right was entering my lane. This is speculation as to cause but the circumstances are common. I regard the adaptive cruise control feature of Tesla’s Autipilot to be unsafe without extraordinary vigilance - which is not the purpose of cruise control. So I no longer use it. Tesla asserts there is no problem. This occurs during multiple versions of Tesla software.

Bought a brand new Tesla model Y with 11 miles on it. 1 mile down the road it tells me to “pull over immediately” “reduced power” I was going 45 mph downhill and thankfully not a lot of cars around. I pulled over and it said reduced power, exit and enter vehicle to restore operation. I did and it worked fine. I drove home with no problems for 25 miles. An hour later I was headed somewhere else and stopped at a light, when it was green I accelerated then it did the same thing but I was on an entrance ramp to a bridge and 5 cars were behind me. The car then was in reduced power mode and told me to do the same thing again, exit then re-enter. It was busy traffic and took me 5 minutes to get out when there were no cars going past me. It reduced power and couldn’t excelerate and caused a dangerous situation. This happened 3 more times while I was on the phone with Tesla support before I had to wait 2.5 hours for a tow with 47 miles on it.

My Tesla model Y reports that cameras are blocked or blinded nearly every trip. This happens day or night, and seems to be related to condensation in front of the camera. There is no other condensation in the vehicle; and there is nothing I can do to remedy this. I have brought it to the service center multiple times. On the last visit, the manager informed me that this is a known/common issue and that there is no current repair available. When this occurs, it either disables autopilot which can be alarming/distracting, or stops it from being enabled. Assumedly multiple safety features are disabled while the vehicle is in this state. I can provide additional documentation if required. The image supplied is from the last trip to the repair center.

This isn't another case of the Auto Pilot being engaged and the driver not paying attention. I was driving, in the rain, on a normal road surface, with both hands on the wheel. The car attempted to steer away and out of my lane when there wasn't an obstacle or any other hazard near me. My hand went from the 10 and 2 o'clock positions to the 11 and 3 o'clock position before it straightened back out. Because of this abrupt movement that the car made, the rear end of the car lost traction and spun around on me before the car came to a stop. Fortunately, no one else was hit during this accident. By looking at the Dashcam video, the car does show brakes were applied before spinning out of control but this wasn't by my input. I feel that the car made a descision for me that I had no control of. The car was not on Auto Pilot but yet still steered for me. Accident report indicates no issues with road surface, no speeding, and no citations.

Car randomly slams on the brakes while cruise control is active. Happen most frequently mid-day while the sun is out. Most frequent when coming over and overpass or small hill on the interstate. ~5 time in a day and of travel. Brake are apply and vehicle slows from 80 to sometime as slow as 60 in a couple seconds. No visible hazards or vehicle on the road at the time. Very scary and dangerous. Contacted Tesla about it and they said a software update would fix it, still happening since I purchase last June and reported in July.
