2 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 10/23/2021

While driving on an interstate at night traveling at 70mph the computer/console froze navigation and wouldn’t respond to touch commands. Then everything on the car went dark. No screen, no signal lights, nothing. Luck is the only reason I did not have an accident. This was terrifying and dangerous and I and others could easily have gotten hurt. My car had no lights and other cars couldn’t see me as I changed lanes (without being able to signal) to pull in the emergency lane. The car has had connectivity issues starting at 1 year after purchase (about one month ago). I am sometimes unable to play music and the computer screen reads “no connectivity”. It may be a coincidence that the free 1 year trial of premium connectivity just ended at the same time these issues began. I now pay $10/month for the service. Right before the screen went dark I had been on the phone, which was docked in the charger. This all just happened and I have an appointment in 10 days at the Tesla service center.

Shortly after, my car suddenly self-accelerated while I was parked. This resulted in the car smashing through my garage wall, causing loads of damage in the room opposite of the wall. Some damage included: a broken wooden bar, shattered glasses & liquor bottles, and damages to the front of my Tesla. This car was newly purchased, with a milage of simply 40 miles.
