Three problems related to air conditioner have been reported for the 2013 Tesla Model S. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The primary Tesla screen regularly has intermittent screen failures. This leads to me having to reset the computer while driving a few times before operation resumes. This causes the rear cam, air conditioning, navigation, and other consistently to cease for a short period. Recently the screen has developed air bubbles in the screen and leaks goo into the floor (the leaking fluid).
I own a Tesla Model S and I reporting issues with my touch screen mcus. It has completely failed after 7,000 miles. Presently I have absolutely no control of my heating,, air conditioning, fan, safety cameras, garage door opener, or electronic controls on any tough screen portions of the car. This is a huge public safety concern that impacts me and the public as well. I live in a mountainside area and we depend on the back up camera to avoid accidents as our garage backs up into a very narrow lane. And I can not see the children and animals that are in back of my car when I exit my garage. Nor can I use any of the gps features for guidance as well. The touch screen has complete failure in the mcu unit. I contacted telsa re this issue and informed them that this is a liability to me and the brand based on the huge safety issues this presents. I told them I was glad that the call was being recorded as I did want this issue to be unreported. And I informed Tesla that this problem is exigent as we live in southen California and the temperate is now over 120 degrees. This could cause heat stroke and also kill our animals as well. Tesla replied that this my my problem and not theirs. Some owners believe that it is a problem with the embedded multi-media-card memory (emmc) in the mcu and that it is being overwritten to the point of failure. Ii know now that is a recognized defect known as the 'emmc failure' problem. I understand that Tesla now has introduced a new mcu in 2018 that doesn't have the same problem, but owners of older vehicles are still experiencing the problem in having to replace the unit out of warranty, despite seeing Tesla's mistake as the source of the problem instead of a normal issue that occurs over time. I need resources and remedies to correct this manufacture induced malaise.
The media control unit (mcu) has failed on my vehicle over a month ago. I am still waiting for the Tesla service center to notify they have a replacement for me. Till then, the representative said the vehicle is still safe to drive. Failure of the mcu means I am unable to control most of the vehicles functions. Most notably, I cannot raise the vehicles suspension, turn on the air conditioning, or view the rear view camera. Others things affected are opening the sunroof, listening the the radio or music at all, use gps, connect my phone to the vehicles bluetooth, connect to my phone via Tesla app, the odometer reading isn't visible anymore, the walk-away lock feature is inoperative so if I forget to manually lock the vehicle it will stay unlocked, and there may be more features inoperative that I am unaware of. The failure of the mcu occurred after I was done charging at a supercharger station. I noticed the screen was glitching so I attempted to reset the screen. After a few seconds the screen should've came back on but it never did.
