NHTSA Complaint #11341845 — 2013 TESLA MODEL S

TOUCHSCREEN THAT CONTROLS DOZENS OF VEHICLE OPERATING FEATURES INCLUDING AC, HEAT, GPS, LIGHTS, ACCESS TO MOBILE APPLICATION, SUNROOF, ETC. WENT BLANK AND WOULD NOT REBOOT. CAN CAN BE DRIVEN, BUT NOT SAFELY. THIS HAPPENED IN JULY 2020. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, FIRST WAS OCT 2020 AND WAS REPLACED BY TESLA FOR NO CHARGE. THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR JULY 2020 WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ONLY 32,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. REQUIRED TO PAY $87 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND $1,600 FOR A REPLACEMENT. KNOWN ISSUE TO TESLA DUE TO A MEMORY CARD FAILURE AS A RESULT OF WRITING LOG FILES TO IT BEYOND THE KNOWN LIFE OF THE CARD. SEEMS THEY REPLACED THE UNIT IN 2017 WITH ONE THAT THEY KNEW WOULD FAIL. THEY CALL ISSUE "END OF LIFE" BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE. TOOK VEHICLE IN ON JULY 21, 2020. PART NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL AUG 10. NO LOANER OFFERED, JUST AN UBER VOUCHER WHICH EXPIRED ON JULY 26. HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS BEING REPORTED WITH TESLAS OF MY MAKE AND YEAR.
