Consumer Description

WHILE PARKED WITH THE SUNROOF OPEN, WHEN I WENT TO RE-ENTER THE VEHICLE, THE MAIN SCREEN (MCU) REMAINED BLANK AND NEVER CAME BACK TO LIFE. WHILE DRIVING HOME, I WAS UNABLE TO USE TURN SIGNALS, ADJUST BASICALLY ANY DRIVING ITEMS INCLUDING SUSPENSION, DRIVE MODE, STEERING CONTROLS, HVAC, LIGHTS, OR CLOSE THE SUNROOF. THE CAR WAS TECHNICALLY ABLE TO BE DRIVEN, BUT I ALSO HAD NO LIGHT CONTROL, NO BACK UP CAMERA, AND IT COULD ONLY CHARGE AT A BASICALLY UNUSABLE SPEED. TESLA'S ONLY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MCU UNIT.
