Consumer Description

The contact owns a 2016 Tesla Model S.

The contact stated that the center console eventually lost electrical power, and as a result, the contact lost control and visibility of important vehicle safety features and information. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to provide a specific diagnosis, but the vehicle was repaired after replacing the forward display and center console. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,000. The VIN was invalid.
