Consumer Description

The main computer failed right after the warranty expires at 51,721 miles. My computer just failed and I have not done a single thing to damage the main computer. I was upgrading to 2023.12.5 and the computer just crapped out. I’ve been driving around with a blacked out screen and no access to backup camera, A/C, and unable to tell my speed, or when the turning signal is on. I tried to explain to the service center that this is not my fault for the computer failing and that they need to take care of the service free of charge. The car is still drivable and I have been fighting with Tesla support and the service center people to get them to understand that I am not liable for their defective equipment. It seems the only way they are willing to take responsibility is after a recall is issued.
