Problems with 2015 Tesla Model S STRUCTURE

On january 2, 2019 between 1:45 and 2 pm i drove from my house into a clinic parking lot. as i drove my 2015 tesla model s forward and steered to the right into a parking spot, i consciously eased my right foot off from the accelerator pedal, thus lowering my speed from 10-9 mph to about 5-6 mph. the brake pedal was not pressed, allowing regenerative breaking to slow down the vehicle. about a second into the parking turn, the vehicle suddenly jolted forward, accelerating unexpectedly. i felt as if the brakes failed to work when i reflexively removed my right foot from the accelerator, and stomped the brake pedal as hard as i could. my vehicle came to a stop only after colliding with a chevrolet sports utility vehicle parked in the spot across. as i regained my bearings, i caught myself still flooring the brake pedal with my right foot, and continued to floor it until i after i had shifted it into parking gear, and made sure there was nobody walking in the vicinity. the impact from the tesla model s bumped the chevrolet suv parked in front about 5 feet back. the model s itself stopped between 2-3 feet into the next parking space, slightly into the opposing parking space on the right side, as seen in the included photos. this would indicate the brakes **eventually** worked. had they not, the tesla would have been expected to roll forward and into the suv's bumper after the collision. this is called tesla creep mode, which i have enabled (slowly roll forward while no pedal is pressed). i asked the police officer to position his patrol car behind my vehicle before i moved it and advised the police officer i did not trust the car. i used an app to call for a tow through my insurance, but the tow's number was disconnected. i was able to drive off with the patrol car in escort.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 tesla model s. after placing the vehicle into park, the driver's side door opened independently without warning. the contact also stated that the door would not open or operated when needed. the contact notified the manufacturer of the failure and was informed that they were aware of the defect and the repair cost was estimated at $600. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 120,000.

On thursday , june 7 around 6:30 pm i met with a bizarre incident on my 2015 tesla model s , 70d. incident took place on rt 83 near oak brook mall near chicago. the car slowly rolled and approached a semi in front in a traffic jam. i heard a beeping sensor as it was about to touch the semi, i immediately pressed the brake but the car started accelerating instead. i thought i must have pressed the gas pedal, so immediately lifted my foot to make sure i was pressing the break pedal. the second time also it started accelerating and kept pushing the semi in front because it was touching it. perplexed i then brought the car to parking mode to make it stop. as the semi started moving again and there was sufficient gap, the car started functioning normally. i got a repair estimate on the following day from a tesla approved garage and they have quoted above $4000 to repair.

Rear driver door handle stopped presenting restricting access to the car. this is a well known common break on cars with some cars experiencing as many as 6 door handles breaking.

Was using the auto-summon feature to get the car out of the garage and it crashed on the garage walls.

Two of the four door handles failed within a month of each other. in both cases the door handles failed to emerge from the door body. there was no way to open either door from the outside. one was the driver's door, which could pose a safety concern. additionally, the electrical motor that operates the handle would spin non-stop, no matter if the car was on or not. i was concerned the motor would overheat. the faulty door handle is a known problem to tesla. i believe a recall is warranted.

Drivers side door handle wont come out. have to open door from inside car

Rear driver side door handle would not retract 7/2017, nor could be used to open the door. car was stationary when issue occurred. handle was rarely used since purchased new 3/2015. have heard this issue is common and appears to be a manufacturing defect. service center said common due to colder climate as well. door handles should not be defective within the first few years of production, nor should be affected by climate. part was not repairable and not covered under warranty. total cost to repair was $882.

Door handles are heated to hight temperatures from exposure to sun light and is burning our fingers.

While using the autopilot on a busy i-80 freeway in san francisco. i was driving south and in the middle lane trying to make a lane change into the left lane. i hit the speed adjuster knob instead of the turn signal, this automatically increases the speed of the car without intending to perform such action. this action could prove fatal if a bicyclist or other bikes in the category are in front. this is a design flaw. the turn signal is too close to the speed adjuster knob, and i could foresee a safety incidence occurring due to this lapse. thank you. *tr
