Consumer Description

MCU DEGRADATION. OBTAINED THE CAR IN 2019 AND BY 2020 THE UNIT HAS DEGRADED TO DANGEROUS STATES. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IN REVERSE THE CAMERA SPLIT INTO TWO IMAGES INVERTED, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE BACKING UP. ALSO THE SYSTEM NAVIGATION FAILED DURING ONE OF MY TRIPS CAUSING ME TO SOFT RESET IT AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR SHUT OFF THE HEADLIGHTS IN A DARK AREA WITH NO STREET LAMPS, FORCING ME TO PULL OVER USING THE HAZARDS TO PARK. THE SYSTEM NEVER SHUT OFF THE HEADLIGHTS OR PREVENTING DRIVABILITY WHEN RESETTING IN THE PAST. MENU FUNCTIONS HAVE STARTED TO SHOW UP CRYPTIC AND UNUSEABLE FORCING MORE COMMON RESTARTS WHILE DRIVING. MULTIPLE TRIPS TO TESLA SERVICE CENTERS WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE STAFF IGNORE IT AND SAY ITS NORMAL. THEY KEEP SAYING THE CACHE IS FULL AND ONLY THEY CAN FULLY CLEAR THE CACHE. IN ALL CASES THE VECHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND EACH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT.
