Consumer Description
In addition to the car only achieving 65% of its actual miles range claimed the cars operating system will freeze while driving (once every 3 days on average), forcing the driver to reboot the car while driving (hold both scroll wheel buttons on steering wheel). This takes away the ability to read the speedometer, to use indicators and basically ALL of the functions of the car. The rear view camera display also fails about 10% of the time which I have recorded. The car will also SLAM on the brakes while on the highway, driving in the rain on autopilot to allow a merging DHL van into my lane instead of switching to the left lane as advised by DOT/DMV and I recorded this on dashcam yesterday coming back from NASA. It is a daily issue that passengers in my Uber cannot buckle their seatbelts because the buckle is too low into the seat for them to easily find, in some cases passengers get disgruntled and I am forced to park and wait until they can buckle themselves sometimes taking over 5 minutes. The driver assistance features do not always work and also alert me and my passengers when it is unnecessary making it seem more like a gamble than a safety feature; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes when it shouldn't. The false claims and inconsistencies are unlike any other vehicle I've ever driven. Tesla is a CRIMINAL enterprise acting purely in self interest and preservation to maximize profits and MUST be held accountable and to the standards of all other vehicles in the USA driving on our roads. I am APPAULED at the way Tesla has silenced me (blocked emails and blocked my ability to schedule service) and accused me of trying to cheat on my wife with the non-existent female Tesla employees on my BBB complaint which the BBB closed out claiming they solved it when Tesla didn't address a single complaint, just attacked my character publicly also known as slander. Also 250kw superchargers only charge at 50kw after preconditioning without other cars chargingFU
