general problems of the 2020 Tesla Model 3 - part 2

From the moment I drove my brand new Tesla off the lot - the screen - the only way to control anything about the vehicle - would freeze; black out; and take several minutes to reset itself. While in this completely inoperative state: the audio system would emit a high pitch noise; any ability to tell speed; turning signal status; anything was completely impaired; the climate control blasts on high fan a torrent of cold air. At 2000 miles; this has happened several hundred times - on average once every 10 miles driven; though sometimes twice within a few moments (boots up only to reset again) and sometimes it can go as far as 30 minutes without freeze; black; reset. This is easily the most expensive car I've ever purchased; and had nearly 0 miles upon pickup - it is easily the most frustrating experience I've had with a car. To not be in control or have any visibility to the machine driving at highway speeds when everything goes completely black and the computer takes minutes to reset. The repair facility has estimated $2400 which they're attempting to charge me.

Charging port, plastic tip of one of the charging pins broke off and was still inside the port. It was obstructing the charging handle, not allowing it to fully seat. The car was showing an error message saying there is a problem with the charging cable. I found the obstruction and removed it with a toothpick. The error message went away however one charging pin is now missing its plastic tip. The one I removed from the port was broken and unusable. Car has only 5000 miles on it. This is the same issue noted in another service bulletin that says it only affects 2018 vehicles. Obviously that is not true. This car is a 2020 and it is still happening.

While navigating on autopilot on the freeway the car took the intended exit ramp, however never slowed down until I had to intervene. Reminiscent of the characteristics which led to the recent fatal crash reported over the last week.
