Electronic Stability Control problem #1

Driving on highway 280, the auto-pilot stopped working and driving became erratic and unsafe with random accelerations/decelerations. I had no choice but to keep on driving. Tesla kept confusing me with their service arrangements while I needed to use the car every day. It took a week to arrange for service. The car sat for a week at the dealership with no communication from Tesla. Then they sent a laconic request to pay them $1,070 --- while I know my car, being 10 months old is under warranty. Mice ate a wire within the auto-pilot cables. Tesla claims this damage isn't covered by warranty! the damaged cables are in a compartment which is completely unprotected against mice or anything. It should have been protected with at least a metal mesh. I asked why isn't that compartment protected to prevent rats/mice from entering it; after all, 300+ million american garages have cars and mice CO-located. . . Their answer: 'that's the auto-industry standard'. My reaction: "I did not buy my car from the auto-industry standard; I bought it from Tesla (which completely deviates from the "industry standards!)" I am requesting Tesla to issue a 'recall' for installing a metal mesh around the sensitive auto-pilot cabling compartment. Also, I am requesting a full refund of my expenses, plus compensation for the frustration and for the various troubles I had to go through. The no. 1 problem with Tesla's supposed 'service' is that they obviously believe that Tesla cars do not need any service. Here is their email to me from 10/15/"your Tesla service invoice is ready for review. Please review and accept the Tesla service invoice for your visit. Review and accept ". I cannot access that contents anymore. The email simply said accept this charge of $1,070 without explaining anything about the reason for the damage. Thank you, yair barniv.

Electronic Stability Control problem #2

Autopilot was engaged. The Tesla vehicle sensors failed to recognize 2 parked vehicles on the right side of the street while driving, and collided with them. Anti-collision mechanism and auto-braking failed to apply, resulting in collision.

Electronic Stability Control problem #3

I am very disappointed and shocked from what happened last December 10, 2019 (Tuesday). At around 5:50 am, I am slowly driving at the parking lot of my office at stryker corporation in san jose, CA. I am slowly parking my car and then there's a sudden unintended acceleration on my car which I cannot even control or stop. The acceleration speeds up automatically on its own even if I'm stepping on the brake. Due to the speed up on the acceleration, the car went over the curb with so much speed and moved towards the tent which is the smoking area in our work. The windshield of my car broke when it hit the tent and the car still moved to the other side of the island. Luckily, my car landed on a bucket of cement which helped my car to stop. It was really a terrifying incident which I didn't expect to happen because my car is new and I thought that it's the smartest and safest car. I have a dash camera on my car and I have a video of the whole incident that will prove that my statements are true.

Electronic Stability Control problem #4

I just bought the new Tesla Model 3 last week for long run battery but it's not giving me full rang of miles and dropping crazy amount of battery . The way Tesla is telling the people about mileage , it's not working that way , I have long rang mileage and it's supposed to give 310 mileage after full charge and that's only reason I bought this car because every day I'm driving around 200 to 270 mileage . But true is it not giving me that mileage at all and just giving me only 230to 250 all together after my full charge whole night , and so I have to stop by somewhere every day to charge my car to go home with enough mileage . For me it's doesn't not make any sense at all since you are buying long range distance car and you are not getting what you accepting .
