Consumer Description

The “auto-defogger” came on when the windshield was not fogged up and started to fog up the windshield instead of de-fogging it. It remained on the rest of the day and the only way I could figure out to get my window to stop fogging up was to turn off AC entirely. If I turned it back on, it immediately started “auto-defogging” which just kept fogging up my windshield. It was a dangerous situation trying to drive while the car was fogging up it’s own windshield. I contacted Tesla to look into it and they would not look at it under warranty.
