The Equipment problem

While driving on the freeway in the fast lane at 75 mph i80w, the car began a loud humming sound that came from the rear. My passenger and I noted that it was significant sound that we took a video to record the sound. I was the driver and I noticed that the sound increased as I accelerated.   Read details...

The Owners/service Manual problem

The only manual for operation of my car is on screen. The car computer will not load the screen for the manual so we have been unable to access any safety or operation manuals for months. I again took my car to Tesla service this week and the service department said they have no fix.   Read details...

The Carrier/rack problem

I have had the screen go black on several occasions. It takes multiple tries to reboot it. The local dealer said that I had to keep track of when this happens and report it within 30 minutes to them for diagnosis.   Read details...
