Consumer Description

I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE INVESTIGATING TESLA MODEL S COMPUTER FAILURE. I WOULD LIKE TO LIST THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD SINCE I BROUGHT MY MODEL S IN MARCH 2015: -APRIL 2015 ? FRONT TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN. LATCH WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. -JUNE 2016 ? DRIVER DOOR HANDLE STOPPED WORKING. REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY -AUGUST 2019 ? MEDIA CONTROL UNIT FAILURE (TOUCHSCREEN). HAPPENED ON A FRIDAY AND I COULD NOT SEE IN REVERSE, COULD NOT USE HANDSFREE PHONE ? IMPORTANT FOR ME AS A CRITICAL CARE PHYSICIAN ANSWERING CALLS FROM THE ICUS. COULD NOT CLOSER SUNROOF. CAR COULD NOT BE SHUT DOWN. THE AIR CONDITIONER STAYED ON FOR 3 DAYS UNTIL I CAN GET THE CAR TO SERVICE CENTER. CAR HAD TO REMAIN PLUGGED INTO CHARGER TO SUPPORT THE AIR CONDITIONER ETC SO I HAD ENOUGH BATTERY RESERVE TO GET TO THE SERVICE CENTER. MY COST $2134 -AUGUST 2019 ? A/C FAILED AFTER HAVING RUN NONSTOP FOR 3 DAYS B/C OF MCU FAILURE. MY COST $869. -AUGUST 2019 ? IN EFFORT TO SHUT DOWN THE CAR, PER TESLA PHONE INSTRUCTIONS, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND CHARGED IT. AS A RESULT THE BATTERY SHAPED BALLOONED OUT AND I HAD IT REPLACED SINCE EVERYTHING WAS OPEN.
