2017 Tesla MODEL X problems and owner complaints

ON 4TH, JUNE, 2017, I WAS DRIVING THIS 2-MONTH-OLD TESLA MODEL X. WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN AT ONE OF THE DOWNWARD PASSAGE IN A CARPARK, THE STEERING WHEEL COULD NOT MOVE ALL OF A SUDDEN, AND A WARNING POPPED UP SAYING CAR NEED SERVICE/STEERING ASSIST REDUCED. THEN A WHILE LATER THE STEERING WHEEL COULD MOVE AGAIN ALLOW ME TO FINISH THE TURN, BUT THEN STOPPED WORKING AGAIN LEAVING ME STUCK IN THE CAR PARK. THEIR TECHNICIAN REPLIED THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF MODEL X CARS BUT ONLY WHILE PARKED AND NOT DURING DRIVING. AFTER INSPE…

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA AUTOPILOT. HERE IS A CREDIBLE AND EASILY VERIFIED REPORT BY A TESLA OWNER IN UK WHO HAS HAD A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE WHILE ON AUTOPILOT: HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/AT-WHAT-POINT-DO-I-SAY-ENOUGH-IS-ENOUGH.100508/ ** A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE CAR WHILST IN AUTO PILOT SUDDENLY SWERVED ACROSS THE MOTORWAY INTO THE MIDDLE LANE. I CAUGHT IT HALF WAY ACROSS. THE MOTORWAY WAS PERFECT. (INTERESTINGLY AT A SUPERCHARGER, I ASKED THE GUY NEXT TO ME IF THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED TO HIM, AND HE SAID 'FUNNILY ENOUGH,…

MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE 'AUTOSTEER' FEATURE. IT'S UNCLEAR WHY THIS IS CONSIDERED AN OPTION AND IT CERTAINLY DOES NOT FUNCTION AS DESCRIBED WHEN I CHECKED IT OFF AS A 5000.00 OPTION UNDER 'ENHANCED AUTOPILOT' WHEN ORDERING MY TESLA. THE SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS, NOT READY FOR BETA TESTING AND CERTAINLY SHOULDN'T BE USED ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS OR WITH ANYONE YOU VALUE IN THE CAR. I CAN SEE IT BEING TESTING ON CLOSED ROADWAYS BY SKILLED PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO ENGAGE AT ANY SPEED. ON SURFACE STREETS IT CROSSES OVER INTO…

HERE IS ANOTHER MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=26559880&ROWNUMBER=51&LOADRECENT=TRUE IT HAS BEEN IN A FRONT END COLLISION AND HAS BIO-HAZARD STICKERS INDICATING THAT OCCUPANTS HAVE BEEN INJURED. THE FRONT END IS BADLY DAMAGED BUT THE BACK END OF THE CAR IS UNTOUCHED EXCEPT THAT THE BACK LEFT WHEEL IS CANTED OVER AT AN ANGLE MEANING THAT THE SUSPENSION IS BROKEN. THE WHEEL AND TIRE ARE UNDAMAGED SO IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THE SUSPENSION WAS BROKEN BY IMPACT DAMAGE. AS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF TH…

BATTERY RANGE HAS SIGNIFICANTLY AND SUDDENLY DROPPED. WHILE TESLA HAS STATED THIS IS 'NORMAL BATTERY DEGRADATION,' IT APPEARS THROUGH RESEARCH THIS MAY BE SOFTWARE LIMITED, DUE TO RECENT BATTERY FIRES WHICH ARE LIFE THREATENING. INSTEAD OF ADMITTING THE SAFETY ISSUE, RECALLING THE BATTERY, AND ENSURING A SAFER BATTERY IS INSTALLED, TESLA IS UPDATING SOFTWARE OPAQUELY. THIS IS FOR A MODEL X 75D WITH A 75 KWH BATTERY, AND SEEMS TO HAVE BEGUN WITH FIRMWARE 2019.32 ONWARD.

During hard rainfall the software of the vehicle issues an error: the windshield wipers, headlights, taillights and turn signal all stop working. Lane assist and parking assist fail as well. Sometimes the vehicle shifts into park when you stop. After stopping the vehicle, the doors won't open so you cannot exit the car. It does not matter if the car is moving or stationary when the software fails. You have to reboot the car and hope it resolves, usually it doesn't, or most often just wait to time the software glitch for the moment when the func…

I had a reoccurrence of Incident 11609414. After the original incident I had my car towed to the service center and "fixed". I paid out of pocket since my warranty did not cover the problem they claimed that caused my issues. 5 weeks later I had the same issue recur, while out shopping. My car would not shift into park, the emergency brake failed, my seat restraint failed, my airbag failed, my ABS failed, my steering assist failed. I had to stay in my car with my foot on the brake until I could get my car towed to the service center. Had I take…
