NHTSA Complaint #11349119 — 2017 TESLA MODEL S

THE DEFECTIVE MCU WENT DOWN AND WHAT IS NOT BEING PROPERLY REPORTED, ESPECIALLY IN THIS PANDEMIC WORLD WE NOW LIVE IN, IS THAT BESIDES THE ENTERTAINMENT, THE AIR CONDITIONING (AND VIRAL HEPA FILTER), THE SUSPENSION HEIGHT, THE STEERING AND ACCELERATION PROPERTIES, NEARLY EVERYTHING IS NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE WHEN THE MCU FAILS BECAUSE TO THE DRIVER, THESE THINGS CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED AND MANIPULATED THROUGH THE CENTER CONSOLE, WHICH IS IN PERMANENT SHUT DOWN MODE. LOOK, I PERFORM FMEA ANALYSIS FOR A LIVING. THIS IS A SINGLE POINT FAILURE BEING CAUSED BY THE POOR DECISION TO SELECT AN MCU CHIP THAT HAS A LIMITED NUMBER OF DATA WRITES TO THE MEMORY, AND THAT CANNOT BE CLEARED OUT BY ANY SYSTEM DESIGNED INTO THE CAR. MINE JUST FAILED LAST WEEK AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT. TESLA CLAIMS THAT THEY ONLY WARRANTY THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM FOR 25,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY'VE INTEGRATED THE MCU AND EMMU AS THE SINGLE SOURCE OF OPERATIONS FOR ALL OTHER VITAL SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS COMPLETELY INSANE AND IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT WAS 90 DEGREES THE DAY MY MCU FAILED AND DANGEROUSLY HOT INSIDE MY CAR, EVEN WITH ALL WINDOWS DOWN, WHICH ONLY GOT WORSE BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH THERMAL LOADS CREATED BY THE BATTERY, NORMALLY PROTECTED BY THE OVERHEAT SENSORS & FANS, THAT ARE NOW NOT OPERATING PROPERLY THANKS TO THE MCU FAILURE. IT ALSO IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE MOST OF THE NEED TO WRITE TO THE FINITE MCU & EMMU MEMORY IS CAUSED BY TESLA DURING THEIR FREQUENT SOFTWARE UPDATES. MINE IS A P100D LUDICROUS + AND COST WELL OVER $100,000 WHEN NEW. TELL ME WHAT OTHER MANUFACTURE WOULD BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH DESIGNING A SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE THAT EFFECTS NEARLY EVERY SYSTEM INCLUDING SAFETY FEATURES, AND THEN SAY ITS ONLY COVERED FOR LESS THEN THE TIME THEY KNOW THE FIRST FAILURE WILL OCCUR. CRIMINALS AND MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE NOW PLEASE.
