Warnings problems of the 2017 Tesla Model S

I used summon on [xxx] to bring my car to me because it was parked way at the end of the parking lot at discount tire. There was only 1 car in the whole lot, which was parked next to my Tesla. While using the “come to me” feature in summon – my Tesla pulled forward and then turned and drove right in to the car parked next to mine. It did quite a bit of damage to my Tesla and the mercedes parked next to me it ran into. When I called my local Tesla service center in austin to ask what I am supposed to do, they told me they needed to run diagnostics to see if they can fix the “summon” issue. After running diagnostics they blamed the issue on the wrap I have on my car. They did not test the sensors obviously though, because they work fine through the wrap. Not to mention that Tesla offers wraps from the factory now. They also stated that summon was aborted due to collision, so it did report their was a wreck. Repair notes: the proximity sensors on the vehicle are being obstructed by the vehicle wrap, which results in interference or compromised sensor functionality. This interference can disrupt the accurate detection of surrounding objects, impacting the vehicle’s ability to engage safety features like autopark. Data analysis reveals that the autopark function was aborted during collision, due to the seat belt not being fastened at the time of the incident. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Computer software failure. Intermittent problem that started with a recent software update. When backing out of a parking space, car will move a few feet then go into park and set the parking brake. Putting car back into reverse allows the car to move about 2 feet then the parking brake re engages. This has repeated more than 6 times in the process of backing out of a parking space. (there was at lease 3' of clearance to the sides of the vehicle and nothing behind the vehicle. ) this is very dangerous when backing out of a diagonal parking space that is along the side of a busy road. I have scheduled Tesla service for the soonest appointment which is 2 weeks from now.

I activated Tesla's Smart summon feature on the 2017 Tesla Model S to autonomously drive from the parking spot to the front entrance of the restaurant where I was waiting. Pulling out of the spot (my car was back in), the vehicle prematurely turned and contacted the front bumper of the adjacent vehicle (also backed in). My vehicle proceeded for a few feet causing severe damage to my driver side and the other vehicles bumper. I entered my vehicle and pulled away from other vehicle which is still in contact with. Take document with photos, I returned my vehicle to the location where it occurred (except not in contact). See photos. I contact that evening and they spent the next week investigating. They disavow and responsibility and said I was supposed to monitor the progress. The incident took a few second and there was not time to react to avoid damage.

Car auto accelerated in parking lot structure. Hit column; air bags did not deploy so no injury to me, the driver. Dealer refuses to confirm the data to support their conclusion that driver was at fault. Vehicle inspected by dealer owned collision center and dealer related insurance company. No warning or messages prior to auto acceleration.

The Tesla Model S main screen blacked out, causing me to not have access to any of the car's control system other than to drive it (no backup camera, climate control, music, door locking, suspension adjusting, turn signal chiming, and other essential safety featues). When I took it to Tesla, they identified the problem but told me to fix the root of it, I'd have to pay for an "mcu2 upgrade" of over $1000 even though they know the computer chip is bad (and will go bad again). This happens sometimes while the car is parked and other times when in motion.

My vehicles main screen consistently does not work. The screen is important because it hosts my back up camera, the pin code needed to turn on the vehicle to put it drive, my bluetooth settings, ac functionality, etc. The screen has on multiple occasions froze ( while providing navigation) simply not turned on and had to be reset using manual controls, and restarted while mid driving and therefore not able to provide directions mid drive. The issue has been brought up to Tesla and they simply did a firmware reset which resolved no issue. These issues have occurred while driving, parked, on freeway, city driving, all situations. I just got the vehicle back in August and have had multiple issues other than this. But this issues has been reoccurring throughout my short time owning the vehicle.

The mcu touchscreen fails constantly causing no access to rear view camera, ac controls, navigation, and loss of preset settings for mirrors and drive seat position. Reboot takes over 5 mins while car is in operation to no ac working. Both headlights have been replaced over 10 times due to burned out daytime running lights. I have paid for the last replacement only for it to fail again.
