general problems of the 2013 Tesla Model S

Vehicle lights turned off while driving home with my family. Pulling over and turning off and on the car reset the problem. When lights turned off I received a warning light identifying a faulty right headlight and faulty left headlight. No accident and vehicle is currently outside manufacture warranty.

The contact owns a 2013 Tesla Model S. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 21v035000 (back over prevention, visibility, exterior lighting) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted and it was confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The contact owns a 2013 Tesla model-s. The contact had received a recall notice from the manufacturer for NHTSA campaign number: 21v035000 (back over prevention, visibility, exterior lighting). The contact stated that the vehicle had the recall performed two times, however the vehicle had continued to have computer problems. The contact stated that when driving at any speed the seats would move on their own. The contact did not notice any warning lights. The contact stated that the drivers seat would revert to the seat settings of a second driver independently when moving. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the emmc controller needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired, however the failure occurred again and the emmc controller was replaced for a second time. The failures had reoccurred again. The failure mileage was 123,864.

Backing up mcu fail backup camera failed almost back on a kid ran behind my car while I was looking down at a disabled screen. Driving to Tesla service department main screen failed due to computer car crippled to minimal safety control. Car now in service Tesla require me to pay $1500 for new mcu2 instead of recalling and replace the defective mcu.

Was supercharging about 7 hours away from home, my screen turned off and would not reboot. . The dreaded mcu failure every Tesla owner fears, and every service center pretends does not exist. My car would not power off, as we were at the beach my a/c was on full blast. My car was now driveable with no key, and the doors would not lock whatsoever. Anyone with or without a key could just walk up touch the handle and get into my car. I had to stay close to superchargers as my a/c drained the battery heavily. Tesla essentially told me they would have to have me take it to a service center which were closed for the next 2 days because a mobile tech would not be able to replace it on spot. So now I get to drive 7 hours home in the most stressful situation of my life. As we got away from the coast and the temperature rapidly dropped I had water pouring off my windshield and down the sides of my car and out of my air vents! it was almost impossible to see and incredibly dangerous. My fiancee had to keep a towel in her lap to wipe the windshield every few seconds. Putting the lack of visibility aside and safety of a vehicle thats unable to lock. I had to manually find all Tesla superchargers along the route I also had to guesstimate how much charge I would need to make it to the next station which was quite the task due to the high a/c drain. After our last charging stop we had maybe 120 miles to go and I charged to 170ish. . At least 50 more than necessary. There was one point on our trip where we had 16 miles remaining and 17 to go. Somehow through a little help from the man above we made it home with a couple miles to spare. It completely astounds me that Tesla could just brush off such a horrendous failure of a very well known and documented issue. It's not a chance of if it fails as to a matter of when. Stock prices matter more than a customers safety.

The main touchscreen on my 2012 Tesla s has stopped working completely- totally blank, resulting in no rearward facing camera, lower charging rates, no control over suspension height or steering stiffness; no a/c, no heat, no sunroof controls, no wifi, no bluetooth and no cellular; no map, no gps. No radio.

The contact owns a 2013 Tesla Model S. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vinyl chloride monomer (vcm) unit became inoperable causing the vehicle to stall. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the vcm unit needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact then stated 18 months later, he received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 21v035000 (back over prevention, visibility, exterior lighting). The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
