Consumer Description
I have Full Self Driving I paid $12,000 for and immediately wanted a return upon receiving the car it doesn't work as described. Tesla declined to refund me for the FSD software months ago. I have brought the car into service 3 times now and Tesla each time says there is nothing wrong with the car despite 5,000 gigabits of my own dashcam footage showing the car driving me into oncoming traffic, swerving towards concrete barriers, not seeing 5 people in a cross walk when turning at 25 mph, randomly SLAMMING on the breaks and much more. The touchscreen will freeze leaving the driver with no turn signals, no speedometer etc. I feel like the car is possessed trying to kill me, I am a full time Uber driver. Tesla service manager tells me with a straight face "just don't use it." "just don't make any left turns". The front facing camera keeps rattling so I pulled the Teslacam footage and the camera is so blurry you can barely see anything so I bring it in for service and they say nothing is wrong. This is beyond dangerous this is a dereliction of duty that will result in lost lives, NHTSA you MUST intervene I have already alerted my Governor and State Attorney, they have verified they have received my testimony. I make a choice every day to get in a car I know is trying to kill me or not be able to feed my family. Tesla service manager Prince HARASSED me by calling 15+ times while I was at dinner with my 9 month pregnant wife and threatening me by telling me he's tracking my car to Publix and to my home. Wouldn't take the car out of service mode until I drove 45 minutes back to return his phone; I should have thrown it off a bridge! because he left his phone in my car with a 1 hour timer counting down. This is a cover-up please launch a REAL investigation Tesla is stealing billions Elon makes Enron look like a hill next to a mountain this just ain't right! Last time I checked 3 service trips without a solution qualifies the car as a Lemon and needs to have recalls.
