Consumer Description
Turn signal does not always activate. If I hit the turn signal stalk so it goes past the first detent (for three blinks) but not hard enough to get to the second detent (on until cancelled or turn completed), it does not come on at all, either the three blinks or constant blinking. This is dangerous because the turn signal does not activate predictably, especially when changing lanes on the highway. I should be able to tap the turn signal to get the 3 blinks to come on and then switch lanes, but when used this way it does not always come on. I had this inspected by a Tesla Mobile Service technician and he reproduced what I reported but said this is working as intended because it is detecting an "accidental bump" and not activating. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request. There are no warning lights or messages.
