Blind Spot Detection problems of the 2022 Tesla Model Y

The issue I encountered was with Tesla's Smart summon feature. While using the feature, the car crossed the parking line and crashed directly into a car parked beside it. Happening so quickly I could not react in time. All of the cameras and sensors were in working order and it seems to have been a software related issue. The safety of anyone around the vehicle could have been at risk thankfully no one was hurt. The vehicle has since been inspected by insurance and damages to both cars were repaired. There were no warnings of any kind prior to the collision. I have a video from the on-board cameras of the entire incident.

On 9/4/23, I encountered a serious malfunction with my Model Y. The issue in question involved the vehicle crashing into a wall on the top level of a parking structure while using the “Smart summon” feature in Tesla’s mobile app. The “Smart summon” feature allows you to use the Tesla app to retrieve the vehicle and have it move to your location (within 12 meters) while you are standing outside of the vehicle. This malfunction rendered the vehicle unsafe to drive and significantly affected its performance. I immediately contacted Tesla's customer support and was advised to take my vehicle to the nearest Tesla service center or certified repair service center. The Tesla service center located in west covina, CA, performed a diagnostics inspection and technicians said that due to the “Smart summon” feature being a beta version, they do not take responsibility for the damage caused. I explained that the “Smart summon” feature was first released in 2016 and that it’s original feature design is for the vehicle to stop completely if it detects any objects in its path of travel. I also raised the question on what if it was our children or any other pedestrian that could have been injured. I would like to emphasize that my Model Y is only 1. 4 year old, purchased in April 2022 and it has been meticulously maintained according to Tesla's recommended guidelines. It is perplexing and disheartening to learn that a significant malfunction, seemingly unrelated to any neglect or misuse on my part, would not be covered by Tesla's warranty. I understand that warranties have limitations, but I firmly believe that the malfunction I experienced falls well within the scope of what should be covered. This situation has placed an unexpected financial burden on me, as the estimated repair costs are substantial at almost $8,000. It also raises questions about the reliability and durability of Tesla vehicles. I kindly request your time and assistance in the matter.

Hello it's me for the 500th time. I was sitting at a light when a new song came on that's actually a movie clip from pulp fiction directed by quentin tarantino about hitmen that kill people that speak out, like whistleblowers; for their boss. So I'm sitting at the light and the cars behind me are all glitching between 3 lanes but nobody is moving and my volume is up and it starts 'yelling' "storing dead niggers aint my fucking business!". This was soon after almost being ran off the road by a white Cadillac escalade that I called in and reported to the local pd. I was rear ended by a white Cadillac escalade in 2019, I almost died and received death threats while leaving a competitors business. And I'm permanently partially handicapped at 31 years old. About 1 mile down the road my car started encountering 'ghost cars' that show up on the gui of the screen but aren't actually there in real life lol. Just so I'm clear the car is basically threatening me after Tesla says there's nothing wrong with it so I disabled my $12,000 fsd and will be keeping this car in the garage from now on. Here's the link to my shadow banned instagram that holds all the videos of this car trying to kill me because the government wants to cover it up. The fbi actually tried to swat me in the middle of the night for the second time in 3 years 2 nights ago but luckily the sargent was cool and a desert storm veteran so he knows what's up. .

1. Personally, I believe all new cars should be required to put blind spot monitoring notification lights in the side mirrors ! it is such a great safety addition. Tesla does not have it. 2. I have had the car since 4/16/22. I have replaced the windshield x 2 already and this weekend a rock hit the windshield which now needs to be replaced again. 4 windshields in 13 months? is there a proble m with the windshields?.

All safety features - backup, turn signal and blind spot camera detections stopped working on November 22, 2022. Tesla gave me appointment to bring in the car on 11/28/22 then emailed me informing appointment pushed back to 12/8/22 and today emailed informing appointment pushed back again to 12/12/22. The car is not drivable without these safety features as it poses the risk of accident that could harm driver and other on the road. Tesla is not responding at all for providing a replacement vehicle, while this car is still under warranty.

Hi, my main concerned about having a Tesla is not having warning beeping sound when reversing. I almost ran over someone because Tesla rear-view camera doesn't provide virtual alert/audio when getting too close to an object or if a pedestrian decides to walk behind your vehicle while you are about to reverse or pull in reverse into a parking space. I feel this should be a mandatory monitoring system for all Tesla when reversing, just like BMW or Acura, you do get a beeping warning sound when there's something there or when vehicle is getting too close to any objects. Hopeful that this issue can be corrected ASAP. I appreciate your help ricardo mateo.

Several times, after over the air software updates, several components of the electrical systems would stop working, including gps & cameras, resulting in no cruise control, no back up camera, no navigation, no blind spot warning/heads up collision warning/lane departure warning. Essentially, all safety features, cruise control and navigation fail when gps and cameras fail. In all cases, the reset options provided such as powering off the carf, powering off the screen etc did not help and instead the 12 v battery had to be disconnected, sometimes more than once, before car would reset to a safe state. This requires removal of a panel, removal of cabin filter, removal of cable to battery. This is a time consuming process and could theoretically void warranties. We are waiting for the next software update to see if replacement of a control board by Tesla this week fixed the issue.

Autopilot feature hard braked twice suddenly while driving on highway . I was next to another car . I was shocked auto lane departure with over taking slow traffic . While overtaking the car gives left signal option to lane change and then while crossing the vehicle in the right it gives another signal to turn right or tries to turn while the vehicle is still there in the blind spot . This happen nee few times which is scary .
