Consumer Description
The turn signals do not work correctly with Teslas. You have to hit the switch multiple times in order to register your intent. For example, when I plan to turn left, I hit the turn signal switch, nothing happens. Then I try it again and it works. There are times it takes three switches in order to get the signal to register correctly. This is a known issue and complaints in forums that Tesla turn signal don’t register the first time. This is dangerous if I have to quickly switch lanes or exit and having to hit the turn signal switch multiple times in order for it to work. Very dangerous. This should work every single time, the first time.
