2 Horn Assembly problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2020

Hi, I have severals issue with the car which are known issues for the manufacturer and for which service center says "yes it's an known problem on all these 2015 Model S car" but you have to pay to get it repaired because the car is over 4 years old and more than 100 000km, so not under warranty anymore. Theses issues are : * two doors handles 1042845-00-b (one I paid for being repaired 60. 83) one actually broken so right front door can't be opened from outside. Nearly all customers from Model S from 2012 to 2015 have this problem for doors. In my case two times were when childs closed the door from outside a bit stronger, so it can happen anytime you close a Model S door ftom this generation. The part 1042845-00-a has been versioned 1042845-00-b (the "a" is less resistant). * two windows can't easily be closes (the two on right side) even more when temprature is more tha 20c, anti-pinch system don't work well so the window reoppen. So sometimes you let the car with windows opened with rain risk if you don't check it. In this second case, service center says this is also a known problem and say they can change whole part with payment ! * more important is computer issue with emmc failure where 8gb nand memory is getting by the time with read/write error because of use cycles, making so many issues on computer : screen hangs (nned reboot), autopilot issue, entertainement media loading or use issue, maps fot gps slow or locked, long time before starting car (more than 2 minutes sometimes) until the time memory is definitly deas so the car remains unusable. In this case again, this is an problem from origin and should be replaced for free even after the 4 years warranty because problem comes with time. Tesla asked 2500 for whole replacement with computer, screens, 4g chip. . . Whereas they don't built it correctly ! * wheel broken no airbag, horn, commands. . .
