Three problems related to computer failure have been reported for the 2013 Tesla Model S. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2013 Tesla Model S. The contact stated that the media control unit was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to Tesla (7500 windrose Ave b185, plano, TX 75024) and was diagnosed that the chip within the computer failed and needed to be replaced. The computer chip was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately was 140,000.
Computer display malfunctioning has to be turned off and on. This is dangerous while driving. I have video of screen but cannot upload that type of file.
Tesla main computer is designed to fail and disable the ability to turn on the headlights, turn signals, rear view camera, and so on. The main computer logs everything happening in the car excessively (they do this so press reviews can be refuted, it has happened many times) but that logging causes the chip to fail. The solution is to turn off logging but they refuse, so these computers fail predictably on schedule. All Teslas are affected.
