I heard that nthsa is launching a investigation into investigating tesla for a update that the company released to reduce the range of the vehicles to address a battery issue. i want to let you know that i have experienced the issue on 2018 tesla model x. i used to charge the vehicle at 90% for my daily commute and it used to show me 208 miles as the range. but ever since the update its showing me 196 as the range at the same percentage of charging (90%)
Instrument cluster in the car froze for over ten minutes along with all audio in the car. displayed speed as 67 miles per hour for the entire time despite accelerating and decelerating. instrument cluster including speedometer did not work until reset in the car.
Sudden acceleration pulling into a parking space head first with foot on the break. next thing my wife knew was that she had jumped the curb and hit 2 other cars. her foot was still on the brake. tesla downloaded the black box. tesla told us that the car was traveling at 3 mph and that the accelerator had bee depressed. tesla refused to share the black box print out due to "proprietary information". 3 mph in a parking lot, dry pavement, clear sky, 10:00 am. repair estimate was low by $10,000.
Audio warning glitch in tesla model x. scenario is that the car is in park with the passenger's door and hatchback open. car is placed in to reverse gear and the audio tone sounds warning of open door and open hatchback. passenger's door is closed by occupant and audio signal stops, although rear hatchback is still open. audio tone is still silent if the vehicle moves in reverse gear although the hatchback is still open. risk of potential and actual damage to vehicle, building structures, and people nearby due to audio tone silencing prematurely. tesla acknowledges reproducibility of the problem in my vehicle and the entire model x fleet but refuses to notify current model x owners per my request. also, spontaneous shut down on tesla auto pilot system and vehicle media control unit while driving. driver is deprived of speed information and turn signalling information during the shut down. driver unable to comply with local driving laws requiring signalling when changing lanes and making turns. tesla seems unwilling or unable to fix these safety issues. arbitration in process per tesla warranty terms and conditions. link to documenting videos below, also already given to tesla service department: https://photos.app.goo.gl/x2murk4biia5ktpe7
