Consumer Description

THE CENTER SCREEN OF MY TESLA STOPPED WORKING WHEN I STARTED THE CAR ONE DAY (CAR WAS PARKED), RESULTING IN A LOSS OF THE BACKUP CAMERA AND ACCESS TO MANY DRIVER SETTINGS, SUCH AS REGENERATIVE BRAKING, AUTOMATIC LIGHTS, ETC. REBOOTING THE UNIT DID NOT HELP, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF ONCE THE ISSUE OCCURRED.
