Consumer Description

I SUBMIT THIS AS ADDITIONAL DATA FOR NHTSA INQUIRY PE-20-010, TESLA MOTORS. THE CENTRAL SCREEN AND PROCESSOR THAT RUN MOST OF THE NON-DRIVING ELECTRICS IN THE CAR DIED. THE REAR CAMERA STOPPED WORKING. THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS STUCK ON THE SAME SETTING AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I NEEDED TO KEEP THE CAR PLUGGED IN FOR 7 DAYS UNTIL IT WAS FIXED SINCE THE CLIMATE CONTROL WOULD DRAINING THE BATTERY. SOUNDS ASSOCIATED BLINKERS DIDN'T WORK. ODDLY, THE ODOMETER ALSO STOPPED LOGGING MILES. SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY I HAD TO PAY $1886 TO HAVE IT REPLACED DURING COVID. TESLA SERVICE CENTER WAS VERY HELPFUL, BUT IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, TESLA SHOULD BE FIXING THIS FREE OF CHARGE. THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE AT A BASIC LEVEL BUT IT WAS NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL. THIS FIRST HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR STARTED ONE MORNING, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. I HAVE ATTACHED REPAIR INVOICE. *TR
