Consumer Description

The center console is once again failing. It will randomly go black and then reboot. This is the same component that was subject to a previous safety recall. I had it repaired under that recall, but it is now failing again. When I reported the problem to Tesla Service, their response was to tell me "it's acting as expected". Huh? They told me I would have to spend over two thousand dollars to get it fixed this time.
