general problems of the 2023 Tesla Model 3 - part 2

On August 5, 2023, my car charge got too low for me to make it to a charging station in lafayette louisiana. I had the vehicle towed on a flat bed. I put the car in tow transportation mode. While we were towing the car, I opened the car to check the battery level and somehow the frunk was activated (perhaps I accidentally hit it, I'm not sure). The frunk opened while we were going about 60 mph down the highway, the wind lifted the trunk up and it crushed my front windshield and the frunk and opening mechanics were damaged. Had we not immediately pulled over the frunk hood could have been ripped off the car by the wind and caused a major accident. This seems to be a flaw in the Tesla electronics/app system - you should not be able to open the frunk once it is put into tow transportation mode.

The battery range is showing on the computer and Tesla website as 272 miles but real driving range is 150-160 miles. The car is in service right now for that issue. Service probably will say it depends on driving conditions, there is no problem with the batteries but it does not explain 50% lose of usage. This is the biggest scam of human history. I am very disappointed due to 50% lower range then what it is supposed to be. There are thousands of people complaining with this issue. This is basically a scam that Tesla is doing. If I knew that the actual drivimg range is around at most 200 miles I would not buy the car. I am scammed by Tesla.

Car was purchased on Tuesday June 13th, on Wednesday June 14th with 50 miles on clock travelling down the centre lane of a texas highway the vehicle presented a warning that it was powering down and to get off the road. The car slowed down due to the regen breaks 60-0 in just a few seconds resulting in a near miss pile up. When the Tesla tow truck arrived the driver advised that this was not the first time he has seen this issue. The error codes I managed to gather from the vehicle were as follows: dir_a126, dir_a137, dir_a063, bms_a170 (coolant and rear drive unit issues) if you require further information please let me know, this nearly caused a serious incident on an extremely busy highway.

Soon after purchasing the vehicle (mile 43) while driving, the propulsion system failed completely and the screen instructed me to pull over but I could only drift as, again, pressing the gas pedal did nothing. This was a very dangerous incident and one that makes me fearful of putting my family back in the vehicle. I have repeatedly asked to speak with anyone at Tesla about this issue but have had no email or phone calls returned or been given phone numbers that do not work. I received a message today that I am required to take back possession of the "repaired" car or be charged 100 dollar per day fee to keep their loaner. I do not wish to be behind the wheel when the other manufacturing defects are discovered but Tesla has given me no alternatives. A quick online survey of online forums indicates this is a recurring issue and one that Tesla seems to treat with a "lets fix and hope it doesn't happen again" attitude. Again, this is not a "failure to start" issue. This was a dangerous incident Tesla offers zero avenue to address with their corporate staff.

Software version: 2023. 12. 10 over the past month, I have experienced a recurring problem with my vehicle's auditory notification system. The issue first began a couple of software updates ago and has persisted through the most recent update. The problem manifests sporadically, having occurred three times within the past month. When this issue arises, all system sounds, excluding radio and media, cease to function for the duration of my ride and persist across all future rides until the vehicle is hard rebooted. There are no visible warning signs or error messages on the dashboard to indicate that the system sounds are malfunctioning. Proof of issue - https://youtube. Com/shorts/vbderqvvzp4?feature=share the malfunctioning system sounds include but are not limited 1. Forward collision warning sounds 2. Seatbelt warning sounds 3. Blinker indicator sounds 4. Ev reverse sounds 5. System notifications 6. All alerts and warnings attempts to resolve the issue: to temporarily rectify the issue, I performed a hard reboot on the vehicle's system. This measure restored the sounds, but the problem consistently returns. **safety concerns:** this issue poses a significant safety concern as the lack of audible notifications increases the risk of accidents, particularly due to the absence of forward collision warning sounds, seatbelt warning sounds, and blinker indicator sounds. Additional observations: it is important to note that this issue began a few software updates ago and has persisted despite subsequent updates. There are no error messages or warnings on the dashboard when the auditory system malfunctions, making the problem harder to detect until an auditory notification is expected but not heard.

While crossing the rump and side walk to garage the car, as usual slowly proceed to enter the garage but immediately the car went into extremely fast speed by itself and hit the side of the garage, damaged the garage wall, the garage opener, the cabinet, then hit the water softener and our other car in the front. It also smashed the bike against the wall , damaged the side wall cause a bulge to outside of the structure. The garage frame and right side of the garage door fell on top of the car almost killed our daughter who was at the front passenger seat. The car brake did not stop the car, the alarm did not go off, the air bags did no inflate.

After backing out of a parking place I could not switch into "drive". The car froze and had to be put into "tow mode" to be pushed aside and later taken to a dealer. Before being collected the car was partially blocking a car park, but there was no other safety risk. Warnings appeared when the event occurred, but not prior to. The rear drive unit was replaced under warranty.

This model has misleading user manual about park assist chime button, park assist front camera on button. Apparently they have removed the ultrasonic sensor and did not enable any user interface to do with park assist in the control menu. This is misleading safety feature and total lie to the customer. Please flag this as a safety flag so the user will be aware of it. There is no option for the user to enable the front camera for whatever the little useful it can offer. They need to immediately send us the software update to view any camera at will.

I was driving a turn on a major intersection stirling and I-95 holly wood florida to the on ramp to enter I-95 southbound when my car began shaking violently during the turn and completely shut down. The car was dead and I could not go forward or reverse. The center information panel was still lit up but the car would not move in any direction. I was blocking two lanes of the major intersection for about an hour till 2 road rangers arrived and dragged my car off the road. If I had made it around the turn and this catastrophic shut down occurred when I was on I-95 I could have experience severe injury or loss of life if I was struck by traffic on the highway. The car was brand new with 108 miles on it at the time. I purchased the car on 11/20/22 and the shutdown occurred on 11/23/22 after only 3 days of driving it. This Tesla Model 3 was very unsafe and the cause of what happened to me should be investigated so other people do not get injured or lose their life.
