NHTSA Complaint #11419439 — 2021 TESLA MODEL Y

The same week I purchased my Tesla Model Y, the screen would freeze and the touchscreen would cease to accept input. I took it into the service center twice in the same week and the cause turned out to be a pinched cable harness which was repaired under warranty. However, I would like to submit my feedback that I was unable to operate basic functions of the vehicle including windshield wiper control, mirror adjustments. However, the car remained driveable by shifting the drive stalk. I have also observed the screen would sometimes freeze which needs a reboot. If I’m driving in a heavy rain and this happened , my family’s safety could be compromised by not accessing basic functions required for safe operation of the vehicle. Tesla promptly repaired the issue but if it would happen again, I would not be able to use basic car screen functions where a lot of safety controls reside.
