Consumer Description
Went on a 3,000 miles road trip and recorded countless bugs and safety issues. To keep this short and sweet because I’m pretty sure I’ve already broken the world record for DOT reports on a car without any intervention here’s some bullet points. 1. Car is falling extremely short of claimed mileage range. 2. Car refuses to charge or charges slow. 3. GPS is constantly wrong and sending me down dirt roads and trying to put me miles out of my way by giving wrong directions on purpose. 4. Car cannot switch lanes in Autopilot despite perfect visibility during night and day. 5. Car keeps slamming on the brakes with people behind me or in my blind spot for no apparent reason. 6. Car keeps telling me that charging stations are offline or unavailable and when I pull up it’s a bunch of lies and there are open spots and the car charges. 7. Whenever I pull up to a charger it ALWAYS happens to be the highest energy cost of the day. 8. Car sends me to wrong charging locations despite me selecting certain charging stations manually. 9. Car keeps making an awful scratching sound when music is paused or song changed. 10. Car keeps banning me from full self driving because the autopilot isn’t working properly even though I disabled FSD. 11. Car is constantly putting off a ton of heat to the point it raises my garage to over 100F. 12. Cars overheat protection mode doesn’t work properly and never has. 13. Car summon can’t make it 4 feet without side swiping the car next to it in the parking lot. 14. Car fails to see all emergency vehicles with or without lights on like a ghost car that doesn’t exist. 15. AC is inaccurate and is either not reaching temp and the AC is roaring so loud I can’t hear anything but the air moving or is so cold myself and passengers start shivering. 16. Charging takes twice as long as advertised and never charges advertised speed like 150-250kwh 17. Full self driving can’t drive me more than 2 minutes without trying to kill me so I disabled it.
