Consumer Description

I WENT TO TURN ON MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND THE MCU WAS SHOWING A CHECKER PATTERN OF ERRORS. AS I DROVE THE GPS DID NOT UPDATE MY LOCATION. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR THE MCU WAS COMPLETELY DEAD BLACK. THE CAR HAS ALREADY HAD THE MCU REPLACED ONCE IN 2017, 3 YEARS AFTER DELIVERY FROM TESLA. 3 YEARS LATER IT DIED AGAIN AND I'M HAVING TO REPLACE IT OUT OF WARRANTY FROM TESLA. THE BILL IS EXPECTED TO BE $2000 AND THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE SERVICE CENTER FOR OVER A WEEK. *TR
