2018 TESLA MODEL 3 Unknown Or Other Problems

OUR 2018 TESLA MODEL 3 HAS NEVER PROVIDED A CLEAR IMAGE OF THE REAR CAMERA FEED. ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT TIME THERE ARE PINK+GREEN LINES AND COLOR DISTORTIONS COVERING THE IMAGE THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AND/OR RECOGNIZE OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF REAR TRAVEL OR OBJECTS COMING UP FAST FROM BEHIND WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT WITH THE REAR CAMERA FEED ENABLED. TESLA HAS CLAIMED THESE LINES ARE A SOFTWARE BUG THAT WILL BE REMEDIED WITH A FUTURE UPDATE SINCE AT LEAST OCTOBER OF 2018, BUT AFTER MULTIPLE SOFTWARE UPDATES THESE SAME ISSUES PERSIST TODAY. IN SUMMARY, THE REAR CAMERA FEED IS BOTH GRAINY AND OBSTRUCTED BY PINK/GREEN LINES WHEN REVERSING AT NIGHT. THE SAME PHENOMENON WAS THE TOPIC OF A RECENT CONVERSATION THREAD IN THE TESLA COMMUNITY OF A MAJOR SOCIAL NETWORK AS WELL: HTTPS://WWW.REDDIT.COM/R/TESLAMOTORS/COMMENTS/AKKSLH/MODEL_3_BACKUP_CAMERA_NOT_SURE_THIS_IS_RIGHT/

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR CRASH WITH THE AUTOPILOT ACTIVATED. THE AUTOPILOT HAS A FLAW WHERE IT CANNOT DETECT WHEN A LARGE VEHICLE LIKE AN 18 WHEELER OR CEMENT TRUCK IN MERGING INTO THE LANE. IT SEES A LARGE GAP AND WHILE THE FRONT PART OF THE VEHICLE IS SLOWLY SNAKING INTO THE LANE IT STARTS TO ACCELERATE. I HIT THE SIDE OF A CEMENT TRUCK AND HAD 8K IN DAMAGES. I REACHED OUT TO TESLA WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE.

ABOUT 6 WEEEKS AGO THE HORN ON MY TESLA MODEL 3 STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE HAD ONE VERY CLOSE CALL WHERE I ALMOST GOT IN A WRECK BECAUSE THE OTHER DRIVER WAS MAKING A U TURN IN FRONT OF ME WHO DID NOT SEE ME COMING. I COULD NOT GET THEIR ATTENTION BECAUSE MY HORN DID NOT WORK. I HAD TO GO INTO THE LANE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC TO AVOID A SERIOUS WRECK. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE EFFORTS TO GET TESLA TO GET THIS REPAIRED. THEY HAVE FAILED EVERY SINGLE TIME TO TAKE CARE OF THIS OR EVEN SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN VERY LITTLE AND NOW THEY ARE NOT RESPONDING AT ALL. I HAVE EMAILED THEM AND TEXTED THEM. EVEN TRIED TO GET THEM TO HELP THRU THEIR TWITTER ACCOUNT. PLEASE HELP !!

I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON CA HWY 101 WHEN I INITIATED A LANE CHANGE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WITH AUTOPILOT ENGAGED. AFTER BEGINNING TO MAKE THE LANE CHANGE TO THE RIGHT, THE CAR ABRUPTLY VEERED BACK INTO THE LEFT LANE, THEN SLOWLY STARTED TO MOVE BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE. IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT I DISENGAGED THE AUTOPILOT.

ON APRIL 24 19 MORNING [XXX](MY WIFE) DROVE UP MULTILEVEL PARKING LOT AT WORK 8100 JONES BRANCH DRIVE, SHE INITIALLY CHOSE A HEAD IN PARKING SPOT, THEN ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD TO THE NEXT AISLE, SO THE CAR WOULD BE FACING FRONT WHEN SHE GOT OUT. THE CAR PICKED UP UNCONTROLLABLE AND EXTREMELY HIGH SPEED AND SHE FELT OUT OF CONTROL AND COULD NOT MOVE FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR TO BRAKE IN THE SPLIT SECOND, ALL SHE COULD DO WAS TO STEER SLIGHTLY TO HIT A POLE AT THAT NEXT SPOT, AND AVOID GOING ACROSS DRIVE LANE AND OVER THE BARRICADE TO A DROP. THE CAR SUFFERED SEVERE FRONT DAMAGE AND AIRBAGS OPENED, SHE HAD MINOR BRUISE. REPAIR ESTIMATES CAUSED INSURANCE COMPANY TO CALL IT A TOTAL LOSS. 1. TESLA CLAIMS TO BE REVIEWING ELECTRONIC DATA BUT HAS NOT RELEASED CONCLUSIONS SO FAR. 2. WHY SUCH HIGH SPEED WAS...

VEHICLE ENTERED A SHOPPING PLAZA AT SPEED UNDER 10MPH AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO HIGH SPEED ON IT'S OWN. IT HIT THREE STATIONARY VEHICLES AND KNOCKED DOWN A SMALL TREE. TRIED STOPPING THE CAR BUT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK AND THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED AFTER HITTING THE THIRD VEHICLE.

WHILE OPERATING IN AC COOLING MODE, WITHOUT FOREWARNING, WOULD SWITCH TO HEATING OPERATION. DURING THIS UNUSUAL BEHAVIOR, THE DISPLAY DOES NOT INDICATE ANY CHANGE IN THE HVAC SYSTEM BEHAVIOR. THIS DEFECT CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THE REAR PASSENGERS ARE CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS. THEY ARE EXPOSED TO HIGH HEAT FOR THE DURATION OF THE DRIVE WHILE THE DRIVER IS UNAWARE OF THE FAST DEVELOPING DANGEROUS SITUATION IN THE REAR THAT MAY LEAD TO HEATSTROKE OR WORST.

TESLA MODEL 3 DOES NOT COME WITH TRADITIONAL KEY OR KEY FOB. GRANDFATHER SITTING IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS LEFT WITH KEY CARD WHILE YOUNG CHILD FELL ASLEEP. HE IS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE CAR BUT WAS BRIEFLY EXPLAINED HOW TO UNLOCK THE CAR BY PLACING THE CARD ON THE SIDE PILLAR. WHEN THE CHILD WOKE UP, HE EXITED THE CAR WHICH THE CAR NOTICED AS BEING EMPTY AND LOCKED THE CAR WITHIN SECONDS. HE WAS UNABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE CAR FOR 15 MINUTES WITH ATTEMPTS TO CALL US BY CELL WITH NO RECEPTION, NO CARD SCANNER ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. THE AREA TO PLACE THE KEY CARD IS DIFFICULT TO DISCERN, HE KEPT PUTTING IT OVER THE CAMERA, IN THE DARK AND AS IT APPROACHES WINTER THIS TYPE OF SITUATION CAN BE DANGEROUS. TESLA HAS A KEY FOB AVAILABLE FOR SALE AND MIGHT BE PROVIDED TO NEW...

SUDDEN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION CAR WAS IN PARKING LOT (BOTH ON AUGUST12 2018 AND ON SEPTEMBER 26 201 AND COMING TO A STOP.. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT CAR JOLTED FORWARD APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET.

I WAS PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY WHEN MY FOUR WEEK OLD TESLA MODEL 3, UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON. IT FELT LIKE CAR WAS FLYING AT A HIGH SPEED AND I HAD NO CONTROL. IN A BLURR, WE WERE SURROUNDED BY INFLATED AIRBAGS ON ALL SIDES IN A SMOKE FILLED CAR AND I REALIZED CAR HAD CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE DOOR AND NOW WAS PINNED UNDER A CRUMPLED GARAGE DOOR. IN SECONDS, AN EVERYDAY INSTANCE OF PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY HAD SUDDENLY CHANGED INTO A NIGHTMARE.

I WAS AT THE SUPERCHARGING STATION IN DUBLIN ( CALIFORNIA) . WHEN I WANTED TO TAKE REVERSE AND PARK MY CAR FOR SUPERCHARGING.MY CAR SHOWED THE OPTION OF AUTOPARK. SINCE THERE WAS AN OPEN SPOT AVAILABLE FOR PARKING MY CAR (WHERE MY CAR FITS PROPERLY - AS PER TESLA GUIDELINES) .I STARTED AUTO PARKING ,IN AUTOPARK FEATURE USUALLY THE CAR COMES CLOSE TO THE OTHER CAR AND THEN TAKES NECESSARY TURN. BUT IN MY CASE THE CAR CAME VERY CLOSE TO THE OTHER CAR AND INSTEAD OF STOPPING IT SPEEDED UP AND DASHED TO THE OTHER CAR IN THE PARKING SPOT. MY CAR HAS COLLISION PREVENTION PLUS IT PROVIDES ACCURATE DISTANCE IF THERE IS SOME OBJECT BEHIND MY CAR, BUT IN THIS CAR NEITHER OF THE SYSTEMS ALERTED ME AND LED TO A CRASH.I RAISED A COMPLAINT TO TESLA ABOUT THE AUTO PARK FEATURES PROBLEM BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY ANY...

WHILE DRIVING IN AUTONOMOUS MODE IT SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT WHERE AN 18 WHEELER WAS IN THE NEXT LANE. IT ALMOST HIT THE TRUCK. I WAS ATTENTIVE ENOUGH TO TAKE CONTROL. AFTER A FEW MINUTES SOMETHING HAPPENED AGAIN.

SAFETY ISSUE WITH REAR DOORS. REAR PASSENGERS AND SPECIALLY CHILDREN WHO ARE UNABLE TO EXIT THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE CAN BECOME TRAPPED IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE OR MAJOR COLLISION THAT DISABLES THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE DOORS. FRONT DOORS ARE EQUIPPED WITH EMERGENCY RELEASE LATCH HOWEVER, REAR DOORS HAVE NO SUCH SAFETY BACKUP IN A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION.

WHOSE CRIMINAL LIABILITY IS THE INDEPENDENT GUIDE? SELF-DRIVING CARS MUST BE BANNED FOR LEGAL REASONS WITHOUT PERSONAL LIABILITY.

HERE IS A VIDEO THAT HAS JUST BEEN UPLOADED TO YOUTUBE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=4GUHSMIPIQ4 THIS OWNER THINKS IT IS PERFECTLY SAFE TO JAM SOME FRUIT IN THE STEERING WHEEL TO ELIMINATE THE "HOLD STEERING WHEEL" NAGS. HE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A COMPLETE IDIOT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT HE HAS BEEN MISLEAD BY THE HYPE SPREAD BY TESLA AND CEO ELON MUSK. DESPITE SEVERAL FATAL CRASHES MUSK IS STILL SPREADING THE MESSAGE THAT NHTSA FOUND AUTOPILOT IS 40% SAFER THAN A HUMAN DRIVER. NHTSA HAS NOW REVEALED THAT THE CLAIM WAS BASED ON TESLA'S OWN (UNVERIFIED) DATA. MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE UNLESS THIS UNCONTROLLED AND HIGHLY DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT IS HALTED IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. THANK YOU. DEEPLY CONCERNED CITIZEN.
