general problems of the 2022 Tesla Model Y - part 1

After installing the most recent Tesla software update, my vehicle immediately displayed multiple alerts: traction control disabled, stability control disabled, and reduced steering assist. Cameras were disabled, navigation was disabled and my vehicle location was wrong. The vehicle lost core safety systems that are critical to safe driving the car functioned normally before the update. Immediately afterward, these safety systems were disabled. Tesla service has since diagnosed and confirmed, they state “an internal short within the drive assistance module (computer). The internal short is causing excessive current draw, resulting in loss of driver assistance features. The latest software has revealed the underlying root issue within the car computer. ” this indicates that the vehicle was operating with a latent defect that Tesla’s diagnostic update exposed. The update did not cause wear-and-tear failure; it surfaced a hidden safety defect inside Tesla’s own hardware. Why this is a safety concern loss of traction control, stability control, and steering assist creates a significant risk of loss of vehicle control. If this had occurred while driving at speed, the sudden loss of these systems could have led to an accident. Attempting a reboot while driving (Tesla’s standard troubleshooting suggestion) would have created further distraction and risk. Luckily when the car catastrophically failed and was unable to turn, I was in my driveway and not on a highway or any other roads.

On July 19, 2025 my 10-year old daughter entered the back seat and shut the door. When I (her mother) went to get into the drivers door the electricity in the car completely shut down locking my daughter in the vehicle. There were no visible icons or labels showing where the emergency/manual latch was. She was hystercial and heating up quickly. We called Tesla roadside assistance and the agent spent 10-15 minutes explaining how to get out of a model 3 (we had a Model Y). He then proceeded to tell us that he did not know how to advise her how to get out. He told us not to break the window and to search it on google. When we asked for his name he would not provide it and he displayed hesitation and resistance to connect us with his superior. We explained that he was dealing with a potentially fatal situation and he displayed zero sense of urgency or compassion for the situation. We were able get her out of the vehicle after researching it online. But Tesla did not provide any guidance to help. Our car was at 80% charge and we did not get any low voltage notification or warning that the auxiliary battery was dead or low. My daughter was dehydrated and is forever traumatized by this situation and could have been seriously harmed. Tesla does not provide a standard vehicle delivery process when you purchase or lease a vehicle from them. They do not provide any tutorial or notification on what to do in the case you lose electrical power. The manual emergency latch is not labelled at all. You would never know it was there unless you search online. We sent an email to Tesla notifying them of the situation and they never responded. We even shared this with the service manager who replaced the battery and he said it is a common occurrence and brushed it off.

The low voltage battery went out after rear right door was opened to put children in car seats. Drove 45 minutes to a train museum with the kids. Everything was working fine on the way down. Once done with the museum and back at the car, opened right rear door to put my younger child in the car seat. My older child decided to enter the car through same door as she didn't want to wait for me to finish to take her to the other side. Once my younger child was buckled up, I closed the door to come over to the other side the buckle in my older child into car seat. The door would not open. The phone application would not get the car to unlock the doors. I could not open any of the doors. Children were trapped inside. My oldest child was not yet buckled and I was able to instruct her to crawl to the front and try opening both doors with the electronic button, which did not work. I then instructed her to use the mechanical door latch vs the electronic and she got the door open. Had it not been for the fact that she was still unbuckled she would not have been able to get to the front to open the doors. I would have needed to call 911 for help getting the kids out as the car was unresponsive.

On April 18th, 2025, I dropped off my 2022 Tesla Model Y at Tesla collision center (paramus, NJ) after a minor accident. I later revoked consent for any repairs via email. Despite this, Tesla performed major body and paint work without my permission. No signed work order exists. The repairs were unauthorized and proceeded without my knowledge or approval until this day. These changes now risk altering my VIN history and vehicle safety records. I’m concerned this constitutes falsified documentation and could affect resale value, title accuracy, and liability in future accidents. I was never shown a repair summary or given the chance to approve or decline service. Even after I sent a formal cease-and-desist letter on June 6, 2025, Tesla towed my rental vehicle on June 4 (without warning), which I had been using through Tesla insurance. My personal belongings were inside. The timing suggests retaliation for revoking consent and demanding documentation. There were no mechanical failures or warning lights before this, but my concern is that Tesla falsified records & carried out structural work under my VIN without my legal consent. That poses serious risk to my safety and consumer transparency. The work was done by Tesla’s own collision center. The vehicle is available for inspection. I request NHTSA to review Tesla’s repair authorization practices and investigate whether unauthorized repairs, falsified VIN records, or retaliation have occurred in my case and others. This incident reflects broader safety concerns around Tesla’s internal repair authorization system, which may allow collision centers to proceed without documented customer consent. If vehicle repairs are being logged under owner records without approval, this poses risk to accident liability, insurance disputes, and NHTSA transparency. I request a formal investigation into Tesla’s repair authorization practices and how they affect vehicle safety, ownership rights, and regulatory compliance. Thank you.

On April 14,2025 my 2022 Tesla Model Y caught on fire while charging. The fire started from underneath the car near the trunk. The fire burned the side of my house as well. The fire department ruled it as an electrical fire due to the battery.

Total loss of heat in vehicle. Receiving error code vcfront_a447, cabin climate control system requires service, heating/cooling limited or unavailable. This is a significant safety concern in minnesota's climate and as we're experiencing -10 or colder windchills.

I am having difficulty with the mobile version to report it blanks out when I attempt to upload or attach documents but I have videos and documentation.

The contact stated that the image on the screen was blank. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 24,800.

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while attempting to park, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. In addition, the contact stated after parking the vehicle, the front wheels failed to move while turning the steering wheel to the left or the right. The contact stated that the door failed to open while using the key fob. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it remained for further diagnosis and repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked the contact noticed a failure with the Smart summons feature. The contact stated while in the parking lot, the contact engaged the Smart summons feature the vehicle crashed into a pole with no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart.

Charge port didn't allow to latch the charge cable. So the car lost the ability to be charged. This failure first time happened in December 2023. A mobile service technician visited my home to look into it. He checked and was able to restore the working of latch again. He didn't replace any part. This problem again happened on a very hot day (above 43 degree c) on 4th July when me and my family were away from home and were routed to a fast charger which was more than 70 miles from my home. The battery at that time was showing only 35 miles range left. I was forced to drop my car in nearest service center which was closed due to 4th July. Me and my family were stranded on the road in harsh temperature conditions. Some how I reached back home by alternate means. It took more than 5 days service center touched the car and fixed the car. Per there report they replaced the charge port on my car. The problem happened again on July 29 but got resolved on its own. I visited service center again on 15 August and was give a detailed form to fill up next time the problem happens. I was told that they will do some further diagnosis but they didn't even touched the car as the problem was not showing at that time. I have strong feeling that this problem can happen again and may leave me again stranded on road without any support. I have lost confidence to drive this car for longer distance where I may need to charge on the way. The issue happens without any warning and will show up right at the time when I have to charge it. I feel that this issue may leave me in a unsafe situation if I am at a remote place where the car looses the ability to be charged. I am not sure if this is the right forum to bring up this issue. Please feel free to direct me if this is not the right forum.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request: my drivere side door fails to open every time. The cold weather feature in the Tesla app claims to pop open the door so you can grab the door to fully open only to get stuck closed. This also happens when attempting to exit the Tesla. The passenger side drivers door also does not open every time. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? has been in for service many times. Concern does not replicate except at time of pickup of vehicle. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? yes failure to open door. Also if you are in full self driving and come to a emergency stop: the vehicle is suppost to open the door and put the vehicle in park. The vehicle only puts it into park and have to press the button multiple times to open the door. It gets stuck.

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while driving 20-25 mph, the hood unexpectedly opened, struck the windshield, and obstructed the visibility of the road. The contact was able to pull into a parking lot. The contact stated that while attempting to close the hood, he noticed that the hood struts were completely damaged. The contact removed the struts and closed the hood manually. The vehicle was taken to a Tesla service center, where the contact was informed that the vehicle data recorder was missing information on the failure. The Tesla service center replaced the windshield at the owner expense. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 24v554000 (latches/locks/linkages, electrical system); which the contact related to the failure. The Tesla service center informed the contact that the hood repair could not be covered under the recall because the failure could be related to an aftermarket accessory that the contact had installed on the hood. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000.

I just got t-boned in my 2022 Model Y performance. I got out of the vehicle which wasn't in terrible condition, in fact the left side of the vehicle was still perfect and the doors worked fine. I had my dog with me and everyone was okay, but I opened my door and the back passenger door to grab a jacket and check on my dog. I shut the doors to make sure he didn't run out and was a bit out of it because of the accident impact so I took a moment to compose myself. . All of the car's lights flickered and then the electric cut off leaving the doors completely locked and inoperable even though they had just been used moments before and were not damaged in the accident. I had to climb in through a shattered glass window to get my dog as all the doors wouldn't open from the outside and I was unable to access the glove box, nor pry it open because the electricity was out and the impact caused that door to make the side panel to unlock the glove box manually accessible. If the car did catch fire or an occupant were bleeding out: anyone inside, unconscious, would be unable to use the manually release and would be burned alive while people pull on doors that won't open that were undamaged in the accident and working 60 seconds before. From what I have read the only solution would be to jump the car using the 12v battery in the frunk of which the tow company and emergency responders were not familiar with.

A Tesla Model Y has one screen which is all instruments, warning indicators and reverse camera. On March 3rd, 2024 I had just completed about a 40 mile drive. I parked the vehicle for approximately three minutes and upon returning to the vehicle the screen failed to turn on. The vehicle ran and drove perfectly normally, but I had zero instrumentation or warning indicators. I drove home about two miles this way without incident. Upon exiting the car and closing the door (which is the equivalent to turning off the key in a traditional vehicle), the screen turned back on as normal and has since not repeated this issue. I contacted Tesla service about it and even sent them a video showing the vehicle operating with the screen not functioning and I was told to just reboot the car and they brushed it off and would not see the vehicle over this incident.

The contact owned a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while driving 60-70 mph, she noticed a burning smell. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact then noticed sparks coming from the front passenger's side tire area. Another driver alerted the contact of an issue, and the contact immediately veered to the side of the road. The contact then noticed that the sparks coming from the front passenger's side tire area had become significant and had turned into flames. The front end of the vehicle caught on fire. The fire department extinguished the fire; however, a fire department report was not filed. There was no police report filed. The contact sustained minor bruises while exiting the vehicle. Additionally, the contact sustained an emotional trauma and intended to receive therapeutic assistance. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The insurance company then towed the vehicle to another tow lot, where it was totaled. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 30,028.

Hvac system in vehicle seemed to lack power since first use and now the hvac system doesn’t operate (cold or hot).

Tesla incident 9/8/2023 my Tesla y started moving backwards suddenly while I was driving forward after I accidentally flicked the right drive lever, mistaking it rain wipers. I driving on henry hudson parkway in nyc. It was back to back traffic on hhp. The Tesla started racing backward despite my foot off the gas, and I barely had time to brake . Luckily, traffic was very slow due to rain and carbehind had stopped and it was not damaged at all. However, my Tesla trunk was damaged. I am very worried that the car could go from moving forward to backward with accidental flick on the drive lever.

My vehicle encountered a severe loss of control, resulting in a collision with a concrete wall on I-90 west towards seattle at 19,877 miles. This critical event, leading to non-deployment of airbags and subsequent hospitalization, occurred shortly after two prior services addressing a rear drive motor unit malfunction, first at 14,768 miles and again at 14,820 miles. These incidents underscore a troubling pattern of safety concerns. Inspection details: front suspension: replacement of stabilizer bar link (1188391-00-b). Steering gear: replacement of steering gear assembly (1044831-00-h), essential for control. Sub-frame & steering components: reinstallation of the sub-frame and replacement of the tie rod end (1044841-00-e), indicating significant structural and steering issues. Safety risks: the sequence of malfunctions, particularly the recurring issues with the rear drive motor unit followed by a severe loss of control and airbag system failure, presents an extreme safety risk. The absence of warnings prior to these failures compounds the danger, suggesting systemic safety and reliability flaws. Conclusions & reporting: the vehicle's history of critical malfunctions within a short mileage interval demands an in-depth examination by the manufacturer and safety regulatory authorities. The objective is to uncover root causes, evaluate if these issues are widespread among similar models, and implement corrective actions promptly. This report aims to highlight the critical nature of the encountered safety issues, advocating for immediate interventions to safeguard vehicle occupants and the public.

Our high voltage battery died on the side of a highway, stranding us until a tow arrived at 4am. During this time, the onboard hazard lights were activated, and no other vehicle systems besides the standard interior features were active. The low voltage battery died within 35 minutes of the high voltage battery. After the low voltage battery died, we were left on the side of the highway at 4am with no active hazard lights, the emergency vehicle door openers were required to be used, however, the windows were rendered unusable, so the doors could not be effectively shut without risking damage to the windows. Having zero hazard or external lighting emitting from the vehicle after just 35 minutes at 4am on a dark stretch of highway put us in an extremely dangerous situation, and in our opinion, the hazards should have functioned for at least 2-3 hours. The vehicle has since been repurchased from the manufacturer as a lemon due to other unrelated issues.

Yesterday I drove 1 shift on uberx in chill mode, very carefully and tried to save as much energy as possible. Here’s what happened. I left the house with 100% charged 274 miles range not 303 advertised I track everywhere I go with everlance gps. After a couple rides, I noticed the cars augmented reality for auto pilot wasn’t seeing the environment properly and like usual the safety features were disabled, but I am unable to record it responsibly while driving my passenger on uberx not uber black. When I got to a red light with no passenger, I recorded on my iphone the Tesla failing to see about 35 to 40 vehicles over the course of 45 seconds and also fails to see a black man walking slowly across the crosswalk just 2 feet in front of the car but it can see cars 100 feet away. Meaning there is an intentional blindspot that would be in the collision warning zone that the car is purposely not seeing because the car is hacked. Directly after that I picked up a man from his house who also has a Model Y and brought him to the airport. He’s an augmented reality engineer that looks familiar to me from Tesla. Turns out someone stole his brand new Model Y from tampa Tesla, and brought it to a chop shop and went on a joyride, destroying the alignment, which he was given a large check for. He said Tesla was able to provide all the problems with his car with no issue. I told him all the problems with my car. Tesla has refused to even acknowledge after a dozen service appointment. Then I told him I have 100,000 gb of dash cam footage and secret recordings of the service manager telling me if I submit the footage to the fbi they would refuse service. Well, they already are refusing service. Also I drive a lot of federal agents and military personnel. When I got home, the car couldn’t account for 70 missing miles and it’s charging at one quarter speed. I reset the car three times. Now I’m trying to submit this on my computer, but the internet cut out! busted! shut down Tesla!.

A copy of this report is being submitted to the fbi, cia, doj, my attorney and then I'm mailing it via usps to my attorney general ashley moody which responded to me about this car about a year ago saying she would investigate it. Yesterday my wife and I drove to chevy and put a deposit on a new gasoline SUV. On the way back all the safety features disabled themselves and the car radio played "break the rules". Today I drove to wawa to report my wife almost dying from being poisoned and on the way back the car in autopilot mode sped up towards an officer with his lights on and high visibility vest so I had to slam the brakes and move over at the last second and the Tesla didn't see the officer until he was 10 feet away and wrongly displayed the cops passenger door being open. I would never drive towards an officer like that if I was in control of the car thats the faulty software. On my way back from Ford to the mister car wash in eustis to get the love bugs off the paint again I took the Tesla cam thumbdrive out, took out the micro sd from my dashcam, turned off my iphone with the Tesla app on it and used autopilot to drive the scenic route to the carwash to avoid traffic. Then the car started playing the songs "middle of the ocean" which lyrics encourage you to drive your car into the ocean; then started playing "swim good" and then "golddigger by kanye west" the car disabled all its own safety features despite them still being turned on in the settings which would have allowed me to drive my Tesla off a cliff into lake eustis just like that brain surgeon in California when his white Model Y drove him and his family off a cliff luckily they survived. I uploaded the video to my ig @aquaponics_guy which is currently banned for "using like increasing software" which is funny because I'm the only one that likes my posts but now I cant even like my own post. I have video evidence and screen recordings of everything I just said. As I type this the computer keeps stoppin.

Went on a 3,000 miles road trip and recorded countless bugs and safety issues. To keep this short and sweet because I’m pretty sure I’ve already broken the world record for dot reports on a car without any intervention here’s some bullet points. 1. Car is falling extremely short of claimed mileage range. 2. Car refuses to charge or charges slow. 3. Gps is constantly wrong and sending me down dirt roads and trying to put me miles out of my way by giving wrong directions on purpose. 4. Car cannot switch lanes in autopilot despite perfect visibility during night and day. 5. Car keeps slamming on the brakes with people behind me or in my blind spot for no apparent reason. 6. Car keeps telling me that charging stations are offline or unavailable and when I pull up it’s a bunch of lies and there are open spots and the car charges. 7. Whenever I pull up to a charger it always happens to be the highest energy cost of the day. 8. Car sends me to wrong charging locations despite me selecting certain charging stations manually. 9. Car keeps making an awful scratching sound when music is paused or song changed. 10. Car keeps banning me from full self driving because the autopilot isn’t working properly even though I disabled fsd. 11. Car is constantly putting off a ton of heat to the point it raises my garage to over 100f. 12. Cars overheat protection mode doesn’t work properly and never has. 13. Car summon can’t make it 4 feet without side swiping the car next to it in the parking lot. 14. Car fails to see all emergency vehicles with or without lights on like a ghost car that doesn’t exist. 15. Ac is inaccurate and is either not reaching temp and the ac is roaring so loud I can’t hear anything but the air moving or is so cold myself and passengers start shivering. 16. Charging takes twice as long as advertised and never charges advertised speed like 150-250kwh 17. Full self driving can’t drive me more than 2 minutes without trying to kill me so I disabled it.

Drove to the carwash today a couple miles away to see if its just emergency vehicles the car doesn't see but its not seeing any vehicles in the right lane or passenger side of the car until they are about 150ft ahead of me. To clarify the cars vision system is not seeing any emergency vehicles (driver side, passenger side, ahead, behind, moving away, moving towards) like they don't even exist (invisible) and also not seeing any vehicles approaching from the passenger side blind spot. Switched my ig to private, was tired of all the hecklers and people reporting me and none of the government agencies doing any of their responsibilities except trying to screw me over on made up charges lol. I'll dm it to you on the NHTSA ig page.

Tesla took my car in for service again, fixed nothing again. This time they messed up my dashcam even though it is clearly marked with bright red notice stickers on both sides of the car that consent for audio and video recording is given by entering vehicle that is owned by me (not a lease). Car wouldn't charge yesterday, then I do the newest software update and when I get 3 miles down the street from my house I yield for an ems emt with siren and lights on in the middle of the day with perfect visibility and big surprise the car doesn't even register that I've not only left the lanes without lane keeping assistance but it also doesnt see the emergency vehicle so I have disabled fsd and am refusing to use ap because this is a death trap. When I complained to the fbi about it they tried to have the local pd basically swat my house at 4am and wake up my whole family. My wife and I are both fbi witnesses. I also received a letter from the irs claiming they changed my taxes from 2020 (filed by my accountant) claiming that I owe $132,021 (on less than $800 in gains) by next month or they will charge me $20,000 a month interest. Today I received a notice from my insurance company of 1 year claiming they are canceling my coverage because I "drive uber black" which isn't true I never have because the orlando pd wouldn't approve me to because the insurance agent lied about the coverage because ana (moore resources insurance) and Mercury insurance; was too drunk on new years day and has caused me to lose $30,000+ in lost revenue because she ruined my 4 month wait for uber black approval which has completely destroyed my financial ability to provide for my family. I received a call from a dot agent a couple weeks ago from washington DC but the call was dropped so he called me back on a cell and we haven't been able to contact each other since. I am really in fear for my life. I am an fbi whistleblower and potus is retaliating against me and anyone who helps us. Sos send help!.

Made it less than a mile from my house this time when the Tesla couldn't see the fhp (florida highway patrol) with lights on and perfect visibility. The car was updated yesterday but it has never actually worked as advertised and the more I complain the more everywhere I go gets hacked. My wife red cross servers, hacked. My medical files, hacked. The pizza shop I was driving to, hacked, my grill, hacked, my alarm system, hacked. The lawn equipment store, hacked. My iphone, hacked. My Tesla, hacked. My insurance, hacked. My uber, hacked. My lyft, hacked. I am currently obtaining my security+ cybersecurity certification so I can keep my family alive. I am failing and being smothered! Tesla refuses to cooperate despite my countless attempts to be civil, involve the fbi, local sheriff, local pd, irs, cisa, my state attorney ashley moody and governor ron desantis and even the airforce with . Mil emails are having trouble contacting me/my family. I am a high profile witness that demands witness protection. I am a witness against peter theil, hunter biden, jeffrey epstein, jeffrey bezos, bill edwards, peter savage, elon musk, raymond jones, mark zuckerberg, twitter, instagram, facebook, local pd and sheriff offices, the doj, the fbi, the usda, uber, lyft and of course Tesla and many more. They want me and my family dead! they will stop at nothing! impeach impeach impeach! huge coverup! witness intimidation! violation of head of state! racketeering! I am not suicidal! I pose no harm to anyone! I applied to gs13 ts clearance under spaceforce dod was interviewed and told I was one of the final selections and ever since biden took office I have been in a hunger games type survival nightmare where I am continually hacked, poisoned, banned and left for dead. Not even your own dot agent has called me back in weeks. If you are being targeted like me then contact the cia and sokolove law for Tesla class action false advertising. All evidence on ig @aquaponics_guy fear for my lifesos.

Tesla refused my lemon law surrender and claims there's nothing wrong with the car once again, big surprise! they messed up my dashcam during fake service regardless of legally consenting to being video and audio recorded (very clear notice stickers on the doors) when entering the vehicle which I own; it is not leased. Consent is important, without consent things become crimes. Like if a flight attendant says no to sex with her boss elon you cant just rape her and then offer her a horse after and get away with it. Anyways the automatic indicators that elon suggested everyone try on twitter the other night doesn't actually work for automatically turning on or off with or without ap and fsd. I decided to turn off my fsd that I paid $12,000 because its a death trap. Here's a video since Tesla says I'm imagining it and I must be schizophrenic or something but this is exactly why I record everything and trust nobody. The link probably doesn't work because the government is trying to silence me in this huge coverup. . Read more...

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. .

Hello, me again. Been having alot of trouble with voice text when trying to respond to my wife at the stop light. I started telling her about how a white Cadillac escalade almost crashed into me and all the safety features 'randomly' disabled themselves while driving and I'm late because I tried to keep eyes on the car while the local pd dispatched and had to drive further than I intended but I eventually gave up after he got so far ahead after weaving thru traffic like he's playing grand theft auto. So the voice text has been doing this really 'cool' feature where I say some stuff that's incriminating about Tesla or the fbi and then it just doesn't type it at all or says some stuff I never actually said that usually sounds incriminating like this one time I tried to voice text my wife that some guy tried to crash into me and then sped away at 100mph plus and later I caught up to him because he crashed at a toll in the rain; the car said I was racing a guy and I crashed! then my wife got all freaked out and called me and I explained that I'm totally fine and wasn't racing him he raced past me. This car is scary as hell, it should have its own horror movie. Oh yea I just got a letter from the irs for the third time saying they changed my 2020 tax returns and I owe $138,021 in back taxes by next month or I'll get $20,000 a month in late fees but I only made $729 that year and already paid my taxes thru my accountant. Fbi tried to raid my house 2 nights ago again using localpd. All after Tesla refused my lemon law surrender and they claimed nothing is wrong with my car and tampered with my evidence camera despite them consenting to being recorded by entering my vehicle. Car is living in the garage now until dot agent finishes setting up our meeting because I really don't want to die that would suck. Here's a link to my shadow banned instagram that has hundreds of videos of my car trying to kill me. . Read more...

Why I am submitting this complaint: I am writing to you upon the advice of the CA attorney general's office. Their guidance was in response to a question I submitted on their web about safe and legal towing with the Model Y factory-installed towing package. Problem: risk of silent brake controller failure. Vehicles impacted Model Y's with the lithium ion low voltage battery & towing trailers 1500 lbs or more. Technical issues: the lithium ion low-voltage battery operates at 15. 5v, out of the normal 12v operating range. The wiring harness sends 15. 5 v to the brake controller. Brake controllers connected to the Model Y towing harness do not throw an error. High voltage through a 12 v brake controller may result in unexpected brake controller failure per controller manufacturer's support teams. Tesla disconnected the 12v aux power to the 7-pin towing connector. This power is used for rf trailer brake controllers. Rf brake controllers don't get the required power. Rf brake controllers will throw an error & the driver knows the brake system isn't connected correctly. Why do I know this? I bought the Model Y to tow my 2,000 lb teardrop trailer w/ a prodigy/tekonsha rf brake controller. When I attempted to connect & verify the rig was in spec, I discovered there was no power to the 7-pin plug. While troubleshooting, I found a twitter post that described the problem, said Tesla disconnected the power & there would be a retrofit in mid-2022. See attached. Attempted resolution I've worked with Tesla rocklin CA for a year. They submitted cases, escalated, and even unsuccessfully tried to connect a 24v controller. A fix isn't hard. I've heard corp. Didn't expect people to tow. Communication: to my knowledge, there's been no communication to affected owners or to brake controller manufacturers. No fix planned Tesla corp. Doesn't intend to fix it or communicate to owners. See attached. Action needed people towing may be at risk of silent brake controller failure.

Leaving mothers day dinner at disney orlando with all 3 generations of family in the car and I click 'home' and the map sets a charging station in miami 120miles away in the wrong direction, the fsd and ap wont work and the cars gps goes completely black. That doesn't even make sense, there was the hooter's supercharger down the street and several others in miami and probably a dozen more between disney and miami. If I wasn't a professional driver I fear this many bugs and susceptibilities could kill my entire lineage. Texting and driving is illegal and dangerous, that's got nothing on a malfunctioning Tesla screen while driving main street disney. Look out king charles there's a new kid on the block, elon musk doesn't need a tunnel to disappear your whole family. He can do it in broad daylight on mainstreet disney in front of the police, god and the NHTSA and after you report it 30 times nobody will do anything about it. . Read more...

Less than 2 minutes into my drive the car decided to disable lane keep assistance and warnings for no reason. As you can see in the photo linked below the vehicles in the oncoming lane are lagging and look kind of like a ghost car while the rest of the screen is totally fine. Well all I did was switch from the middle lane to the left lane like I do everyday with my indicator on, on my way to mcdonalds. Absolutely no reason why this happened like I mentioned I had my indicator on nobody was around me and visibility is perfect. . Read more...

Component or system failure: the internal malfunction of the rear drive unit in my 2022 Tesla Model Y, which has been documented and addressed on two separate occasions by the Tesla service center, has raised significant safety concerns. This component is critical for the vehicle's operation, and its failure mode necessitates thorough inspection and a definitive resolution to prevent recurrence. Safety risks: the sudden loss of power on a busy highway, without any warning, significantly compromised my safety and the safety of others around me. Being forced to restart the vehicle under such conditions was not only distressing but also exposed everyone involved to a heightened risk of accidents. This incident has profoundly impacted my confidence in the vehicle's reliability and safety. Problem reproduction and confirmation: the malfunction was initially confirmed and addressed by a Tesla dealership, which underscores the seriousness of the issue. However, the recurrence of the problem, even after professional intervention, and the subsequent attempt to rectify the issue without a clear diagnosis, adds to the uncertainty and concern regarding the vehicle's safety and the effectiveness of the repairs conducted. Inspections: the direct involvement of Tesla's service center in inspecting and attempting to repair the vehicle indicates that the manufacturer is aware of and is taking steps to address the issue. Nevertheless, the absence of a definitive resolution or clear understanding of the malfunction's cause continues to be a source of worry. Warning signs prior to failure: the complete absence of any warning signs before such a critical failure is particularly alarming. This lack of forewarning deprived me of the opportunity to take preventive action, further exacerbating the fear and potential danger associated with the malfunction.

The usb charging plug inside the middle console burned my charger causing smoke inside the cabin. Tesla has rescheduled the appt once already and doesn't seem to be a concern to them. This is a huge safety concern as it could have caused a fire if items were near this usb plug.
