2015 TESLA MODEL S Electrical System Problems

WHEN WE WENT OUT TO OUR GARAGE TO DRIVE OUR 2015 TESLA MODEL S 85D ON JULY 9TH, WE FOUND THAT THE MAIN SCREEN HAD FAILED. THE SMALL SCREEN IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL WORKING, BUT THE 17" SCREEN WAS BLACK. I TRIED THREE TIMES TO REBOOT THAT SCREEN, BUT NO SUCCESS. I CALLED THE TESLA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY HAD ME HOLD THE RESET ROLLERS DOWN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE FOR AT LEAST TWO MINUTES. I DID SO, BUT NO HELP. THEY WILL BE SENDING A RANGER OUT TO REPAIR THE ISSUE ON 7-22-2020. I ASSUME THAT THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE TESLA MCU FAILING, WHICH WILL BE PRICEY TO REPAIR. LUCKILY IT WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE WHEN IT FAILED RATHER THAN OUT ON THE ROAD.

THE MCU (MAIN CONSOLE UNIT) IS BLACK AND WONT TURN ON. TESLA IS STATING THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AS IT ISN'T PART OF THE DRIVETRAIN. I CANNOT CONTROL CERTAIN THINGS LIKE CHARGING AND DRIVING SAFETY FEATURES WITHOUT IT.

MEDIA CONTROL UNIT SCREEN WENT BLANK WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. VEHICLE STILL DRIVES, BUT DRIVER IS UNABLE TO USE NAVIGATION OR MEDIA FUNCTIONS. NO TURN SIGNAL FEEDBACK. NO BACKUP CAMERA. WORSE, UNABLE TO CONTROL AC THAT WAS RUNNING AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. AIR CONDITIONING STILL RUNS AFTER VEHICLE SUPPOSED TO BE STOPPED, DRAINING BATTERY. VEHICLE HAD TO BE PARKED FOR 48HRS + WITH AC RUNNING CONSTANTLY UNTIL BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP. SERVICE WANTS $1700 FOR A REPLACEMENT, OR $2250 FOR AN "UPGRADE".

MY MCU STOPPED WORKING AND I WAS UNABLE TO USE A LOT OF THE CARS FUNCTIONS. WHEN MY SCREEN WENT DARK I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANY DISPLAY OF THE REVERSE CAMERA AND WAS UNABLE TO ADJUST SUSPENSION SETTINGS. THIS HAPPENED AS I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH FAMILY MEMBERS WALKING AROUND THE AREA. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A TESLA REPAIR FACILITY AND I WAS TOLD THEY WERE ABLE TO GET MY MCU WORKING BUT THE PROBLEM WILL LIKELY RETURN.

SCREEN FAILURE

THE VEHICLE HAD COMPUTER ISSUES DURING OCT10-FEB1. LOSS OF CONNECTIVITY, REBOOTS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING. NO SPEEDOMETER. NO TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS, NO PARKING BRAKE ABILITY, I PARKED VEHICLE FEB1 FOR SAFETY REASONS. ATTEMPTED TO GET SERVICE. VEHICLE BY APRIL[15] HAD GONE FROM INTERMITTENT TO PERMANENT. NO VISIBILITY OF COMPUTER SCREEN.NO FUNCTIONS. NO HIGH HEADLIGHTS, JUST LOW HEADLIGHTS, NO CRASH IMMINENT BUZZER, NO AUTOBRAKING. DRIVE&REVERSE ONLY, STEERING DIFFERENT, SLIGHTLY STIFFER, NO HANDS FREE PHONE & NO GPS ABILITY. EASY TO GET LOST OR CONFUSED AS TO WHERE TO TURN OR WHETHER TO TURN OR GO FORWARD. ARM OUT WINDOWS FOR TURNING, REDUCED SPEED CONTROLS. NO LANE DEPARTURE BUZZER. CHANGING LANE REFUSAL W ADJACENT CAR PRESENT IN LANE INOPERATIVE. COMP. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, THE REPAIR WAS DECLINED, STATING 'IT MUST BE COMPLETELY DEAD BEFORE IT CAN BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY' BY APR15 COMP. WAS COMPLETELY DEAD BUT I HAD...

MCU1 SCREEN GOES BLACK, DISABLING CLIMATE CONTROL, HEADLIGHTS, BLINKERS, LOCK/UNLOCK DOORS & TRUNKS, AUTO PILOT, TOW MODE, WIPER SERVICE AND OTHER FEATURES THAT CONTROL THE CAR. MY CAR IS DUE FOR NY SAFETY INSPECTION THAT IT WILL CURRENTLY FAIL. MY CAR WAS ON HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED THE SCREEN FROZE. THAT WAS FEBRUARY 2020, THIS HAPPENED WHERE BLUETOOTH AND MUSIC STOPPED RESPONDING WHILE DRIVING. I WAS AT COSTCO AND AFTER I LOADED THE TRUNK UP, GOT IN THE CAR THE SCREEN WAS BLACK AND NO BACKUP CAMERAS OR BLINKERS, THIS HAPPENED WHILE PARKED BUT I HAD TO GET IT HOME USING HAND SIGNALS TO GET HOME. I HAD TO DRIVE IT LIKE. I HAD UPLOADED A PICTURE OF IT IN THE TESLA APP AND I CAN'T RETRIEVE IT.

THE CENTER SCREEN OF OUR CAR SUDDENLY WENT BLANK. I USED THE APP FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE TO TURN ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL. WE WENT TO THE GARAGE AND UNPLUGGED THE CAR FROM THE CHARGER. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION ON MY PHONE THAT THE CAR WAS UNPLUGGED. UPON ENTERING THE CAR WE FOUND THE CENTER SCREEN TO BE BLANK AND UNRESPONSIVE. WE ATTEMPTED TO REBOOT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. THE CLIMATE CONTROL WAS STUCK CONTINUING TO COOL THE CAR. THE CAR WILL NO LONGER CHARGE PROPERLY. THE APP WILL NO LONGER CONNECT TO THE CAR. WE PULLED THE FUSE FOR THE TOUCHSCREEN TO GET THE CLIMATE CONTROL TO TURN OFF. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE. PUBLIC INFORMATION INDICATES THAT THE ISSUES IS A FAILED EMMCDUE TO EXCESSIVE WRITING TO THE CHIP DUE TO TESLA'S DESIGN.

MCU FAILURE. DUE TO FAILED MCU THERE'S NO BACKUP CAMERA OR ANY OF THE SAFETY FEATURES. EVERY TESLA MODEL S/X BUILT BETWEEN 2012-2018 GOES THROUGH THIS ISSUE.

TESLA MODEL 2015 MODEL S MCU KEEPS FAILING. THE MCU FAILED TWICE IN 1 YEAR. TESLA SERVICE CENTER SCHEDULES AN APPOINTMENT, SIMPLY RESETS THE SYSTEM AND SENDS YOU BACK HOME. BEFORE FAILING , THE SYSTEM SHOWS SIGNS OF SLOWNESS LIKE DELAYED START ( NOTE* CAR CAN STILL DRIVE WITHOUT STARTING AN MCU BUT MULTIPLE THINGS SUCH AS HVAC / BACKUP CAMERA WONT WORK )

THE TOUCHSCREEN IN MY 2015 MODEL S HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. I'VE ATTEMPTED ALL OF THE RESETS THAT TESLA RECOMMENDS TO RESTART THE SYSTEM TO NO AVAIL. THE CAR IS NEARLY USELESS, NONE OF THE ELECTRICAL FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE WORK, INCLUDING HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING, CHARGING FEATURES, AUDIO OR TURN SIGNALS. THE CAR WORKED FINE YESTERDAY, TODAY THE SCREEN WAS JUST GONE.

MEDIA CONTROL UNIT (MCU) FAILURE

CENTER SCREEN WENT OUT, NO PHONE APP CONNECTIVITY, UNABLE TO TURN VEHICLE ON, UNABLE TO CHARGE VEHICLE. COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE.IT WAS IN THE GARAGE THANKFULLY, NEEDED TO BE TOWED OUT AND FLAT-TRAILER-ED TO SERVICE CENTER

THE MAIN VEHICLE SCREEN STOPPED WORKING. COMPLETE LOSS OF REAR CAMERA IMAGE DISPLAY WHEN REVERSE GEAR IS SELECTED, RESULTING IN REDUCED REAR VISIBILITY WHEN BACKING. NO CONTROL OVER BATTERY CHARGING COMMANDS. MANY TIMES WHEN I PLACE THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE THE CAMERA WOULD NOT DISPLAY A REAR IMAGE. NOW MY SCREEN IS COMPLETELY BLACK AND NONREPONSIVE

LOSS OF TURN SIGNAL NOISE, HEADLIGHT CONTROL, REARVIEW CAMERA, CLIMATE CONTROL, SEAT MEMORY, GARAGE DOOR OPENING CAPABILITY, NAVIGATION, EMERGENCY BRAKING, AND DIFFICULTY CHARGING THE CAR. THIS OCCURRED GRADUALLY OVER THE COURSE OF A COUPLE OF DAYS AND HAS LEFT THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE WITHOUT HEADLIGHT CONTROL, AUDITORY WARNINGS, AND REARVIEW CAMERA. THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAILED EMMC CHIP ON THE MCU IN THE CAR. IT IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND NOT COVERED OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY, DESPITE IT BEING GUARANTEED TO FAIL SOMETIME BETWEEN 4 YEARS AND 5 YEARS OF AGE. (WARRANTY UP AFTER 4)

THE 12V BATTERY ON OUR 2015 TESLA MODEL S STARTED FAILING LAST NOVEMBER. WE WERE ASSURED THAT TESLA THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY COULD REPLACE THE BATTERY (WHICH TOOK ABOUT 2 MONTHS). WE'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS FAR FROM ACCURATE. AFTER THAT, OUR MCU (THE MAIN COMPUTER IN THE CAR) FAILED. THIS IS APPARENTLY A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT TESLA REFUSES TO FIX. WHEN THEY REPLACED THE MCU WE IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING ISSUES: 1. THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS DID NOT WORK. 2. THE COMPUTER LOGS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO TESLA TO DIAGNOSE ISSUES OR RECOVER OUR CAR IF IT WAS STOLLEN. 3. THE FOG LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING 4. GLOVE BOX WOULD NOT OPEN 5. SCREEN NOW HAS NOTICEABLE FLICKER 6. CAR NOW HAS CHARGING PROBLEMS. THE ISSUES WITH THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS, FOG LIGHTS, AND GLOVE BOX WERE ABLE TO FIXED BY A DIFFERENT SERVICE CENTER...

MAIN COMPUTER SCREEN FAILURE. IT'S BEEN DOWN FOR OVER 2 MONTHS WAITING ON PARTS. NO ETA

WITH THE RECENT NEWS ON NHTSA INVESTIGATING TESLA MODEL S TOUCHSCREEN UNIT PROBLEMS, I LIKE TO ADD MY EXPERIENCE FOR THE RECORD: ON 01/31/20, MY COMPUTER SCREEN DIED WHICH LIMITED THE CAR'S FUNCTIONALITY (E.G. NO HVAC, RADIO, BLUETOOTH, ETC). ON 02/06/20, TESLA CAME OUT TO INSPECT MY CAR, AND VERIFIED I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER. THE TECHNICIAN ADMITTED HOW BAD THE PROBLEM WAS FOR PRODUCTIONS WITH MCU V1 COMPUTERS. BUT BEFORE THE TECHNICIAN LEFT, HE PERFORMED A BATTERY DISCONNECT WHICH MADE IT WORSE. NOW THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO CHARGE WHICH FORCED ME TO TAKE THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO TESLA TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER. ON 02/19/20, THE REPLACEMENT COMPUTER WAS INSTALLED AT THE COST OF $2,122.50. TO ADD, TESLA WOULD NOT LET ME KEEP THE ORIGINAL COMPUTER WITHOUT AN ADDITIONAL CORE CHARGE OF $500. 12 DAYS LATER ON 03/02/20, TESLA ANNOUNCED AN INFOTAINMENT UPGRADE ON THE BACKS OF...

MY MEDIA CONTROL UNIT (CENTER CONSOLE SCREEN) STOPPED WORKING. SCREEN WENT BLACK AND NOTHING OUTSIDE OF THROTTLE/BRAKE/TURN SIGNALS WORKED. ALL FUNCTIONALITY CONTROLLED BY THE MCU STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR STARTED TAKING ABOUT 2 TO 3 TIMES LONGER TO BOOT UP AND AFTER A DAY OR TWO, THE SCREEN STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. AFTER DROPPING OFF AT THE TESLA SERVICE STATION, THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THERE WERE MCU ISSUES WITH THE MODEL S FROM 2016 AND EARLIER DUE TO THE MEMORY CAPACITY OF THE CHIP USED.

THE TESLA MEDIA CONTROL UNIT COMPLETELY FAILED ON 7/5/20 AFTER BEING UNABLE TO TURN BACK ON. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WAS PARKED ON THE STREET. DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE MEDIA CONTROL UNIT, THE SYSTEMS SUCH AS THE AIR CONDITIONING, BACKUP CAMERA, CONTROLS, ETC WERE UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED WHICH POSED A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD.

I WENT TO TESLA SERVICE CENTER ON 6/26/2020, NOTIFY THEM THE PROBLEM FOR SLOW RESPONSE ON THE TOUCHSCREEN AND ALSO RATTLE SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AREA, TESLA STATED THE STEERING BUTTONS NEED TO BE REPLACE AND THE TOUCHSCREEN IS DUE TO THE OLDER CHIP ON THE MODEL, SO IT'S NORMAL. I PICKED UP THE CAR TWO DAYS AFTER AFTER THE REPLACEMENT, ON 7/4/2020 WHILE I M CHARGING AT THE TESLA SUPER CHARGE STATION THE CAR SCREEN IS COMPLETE DEAD, I CAN'T PLAY RADIO, NO NAVIGATION, SIGNAL LIGHTS NOT WORKING AND BACK UP CAMERAS FAILED ETC. I WENT ON RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN NOW WITH NHTSA AND IS INVESTIGATING. TODAY TESLA SAID MY MCU NEEDS TO BE REPLACE.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND LOCKED. WHEN I UNLOCKED THE CAR AND OPENED THE DOOR, THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN ON THE TESLA WILL NOT BOOT UP. AS A RESULT, THE SIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS WILL NOT UNFOLD AND THE REAR VIEW CAMERA CANNOT BE VIEWED. IN ADDITION, THE CLIMATE CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. I ATTEMPTED TO REBOOT THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES AND LOCKED & UNLOCKED THE CAR, BUT THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN DID NOT TURN ON AND THE SIDE MIRRORS WILL NOT UNFOLD.

MY MCU HAS FAILED FOR THE 3RD TIME RENDERING THE CAR W/O TURN INDICATORS AND OTHER FEATURES.

THE MAIN SCREEN, MCU, ON MY TESLA MODEL S, 2015 70D BEGAN REBOOTING DURING DRIVING. ON SATURDAY, JULY 4TH, 2020, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. TESLA CUSTOMER SERVICE COACHED ME ON GETTING THE CAR TO WORK WITHOUT THE MAIN SCREEN, HOWEVER IT IS NOT SAFE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS, SIGNAL LIGHTS, REAR CAMERA DO NOT WORK, VERIFIED BY MY SPOUSE. FURTHER, MOST OF THE OTHER CONTROLS, E.G. DE-FOG, AIR CONDITIONING, ROOF, ETC, DO NOT WORK. THE RE-BOOTING OF THE SCREEN, WHERE IT WOULD BLANK OUT WITHOUT WARNING, AND EVENTUALLY COME BACK LATER, OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION -- VERY DISTRACTING. AT THIS POINT, THE MAIN DISPLAY, OR MCU, IS "BRICKED" -- IT WON'T DISPLAY ANYTHING AT ALL, SO THAT HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY.

MY TESLA MCU1 SCREEN/MEMORY FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. $1600. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, TURN SIGNALS, CLIMATE CONTROL, AND WIPERS ARE INOPERATIVE, MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

MY CURRENT MEDIA CONTROL UNIT (MCU) STOP WORKING. I NOT LONGER HAVE NAVIGATION, AC AND I CANNOT CONTROL UNLOCKING OF MY DOORS ETC.

MAIN CONTROL SCREEN (MCU1) WENT BLACK, DISABLING ACCESS TO MOST CONTROLS INCLUDING DEFROSTER. HAD REPAIR DONE (OUT OF WARRANTY) AT A COST OF $1800. PROBLEM IS POORLY DESIGNED ELECTRONICS CAUSING FAILURE OF MEMORY CHIP IN UNIT BECAUSE OF TOO MANY READ/WRITE CYCLES. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THOUSANDS OF 2014-2016 CARS HAVE SUFFERED THIS PROBLEM IN THE LAST YEAR.

EMMC FAILURE. MAIN SCREEN FAILS TO DISPLAY MAKING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE.

THE TOUCHSCREEN ON MY CAR HAS PERMANENTLY TURNED BLACK THEREFORE I HAVE LOST THE REAR CAMERA IMAGE DISPLAY WHEN REVERSE GEAR IS SELECTED. AS A RESULT, I ALMOST RAN INTO A SHOPPING CART WHILE I WAS BACKING UP YESTERDAY. WHAT IS FRIGHTENING IS THAT NEXT TIME, IT COULD BE A SMALL CHILD THAT I DON'T SEE AND RUN OVER. THE FAILED TOUCHSCREEN ALSO MEANS I NO LONGER HAVE FAN OR AIR CONDITIONING WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY WINDOWS DOWN, EVEN WHEN ON A HIGHWAY. IN THIS TIME OF COVID, I WAS TERRIFIED WHEN A HOMELESS MAN PUT HIS HEAD THROUGH MY WINDOW TO ASK FOR MONEY WHILE POSSIBLY CONTAMINATING ME WITH A VIRUS YESTERDAY. IT JUST IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN IN SOME NEIGHBORHOODS. ALSO THERE ARE DAYS IN THE BAY AREA WHEN THERE IS A HIGH POLLUTION INDEX, I DO NOT...

MY 2015 TESLA MODEL S WITH 33,270 MILES HAS A NON WORKING TOUCH SCREEN OR MCU1 THAT CONTROLS THE CAR. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS A BIT ONLINE IT SEEMS ITS A MUCH TOO COMMON PROBLEM AND MORE OF A DEFECTIVE PART OF THE CAR. IT IS VERY HARD FOR THE OPERATOR TO US E THE CAR WITHOUT IT SINCE IT CONTROLS MOST OF THE CAR. REPAIR TIMES ARE THROUGH THE ROOF CAUSING QUITE A BIT FRUSTRATION FOR THE CAR OWNER. THE UNIT FAILED WHILE DRIVING NORMAL ON A BACK ROAD AT A NORMAL SPEED. *TR

MCU MANUFACTURE DEFECT MCU RUNS LAGGY AND ALTERS ABILITY TO USE MCU IN VEHICLE.

THE INFOTAINMENT COMPUTER MCU1 IS KNOWN TO FAIL PREMATURELY DUE TO SOFTWARE ISSUES CAUSED AND NOT FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER BY TESLA. BASICALLY THE LIMITED WRITE CYCLES OF FLASH MEMORY ARE EXHAUSTED DUE TO EXCESSIVE LOGGING UP TO A CERTAIN SOFTWARE VERSION. MY CAR SHOWS THE EARLY WARNING SIGNS INCLUDING BLACK SCREENS ON ENTERING (CAR IS NOT MOVABLE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES) AND REBOOTS DURING DRIVING. FULL MCU FAILURE IS KNOWN TO CAUSE INDICATOR LIGHTS TO FAIL, AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING TO NOT ENGAGE, DISABLED FAST CHARGING AND NO ACCURATE CHARGE INDICATOR (SO RISK OF GETTING STRANDED), HEATING/VENTILATION STUCK TO MOST RECENT SETTING (NO DEFROST), AUDIO FRAGMENTS BEING STUCK ON ARBITRARY VOLUME, AIR SUSPENSION IS STUCK TO POSSIBLY UNSUITABLE SETTINGS AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS REVERTING TO MPH INSTEAD OF KM/H WITHOUT NOTIFICATION. IF PIN TO DRIVE IS USED, THE CAR CAN NO LONGER BE UNLOCKED AND MOVED. TESLA DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE...

CENTER CONSUL SCREEN TURN OFF AND WON'T COME BACK ON CAN'T USE NAVIGATION BACKUP CAMERA NO TURN SIGNAL SOUND OR RADIO SOUND OR ANY SOUND INVOLVE THE CENTER COUNSEL

MAIN DISPLAY STOPPED WORKING TODAY (JUNE 30TH 2020). NOW HVAC, RADIO, SUNROOF, REAR CAMERA, INDICATOR LIGHT NOISE, AND A FEW OTHER FUNCTIONS DON'T WORK. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE EMMC MEMORY WRITE FAILURE ISSUE. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUES, SINCE I JUST GOT INTO THE CAR AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED MAIN DISPLAY WAS DEAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TESLA MODEL S. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MEDIA CONTROL UNIT TOUCH SCREEN WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY, THE SYSTEM FLICKERED AND FAILED TO CHARGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACK-UP CAMERA WAS ALSO INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVABLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WENT TO THE RESIDENCE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MEDIA CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,586.

THE MCU (MAIN SCREEN/COMPUTER) FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALL THE MCU FUNCTIONS DID NOT WORK DURING THE FAILURE. SEE PHOTOS OF THE BLANK SCREEN AND CORRESPONDENCE WITH TESLA SERVICE.

THE MCU V1 IS KNOWN TO FAIL. IT'S BECOME SLUGGISH AND BLACK SCREENS. NOT ACTING AS IT SHOULD.

MCU1 MEMORY CHIP PROBLEM STARTING TO SHOW SYMPTOMS OF SLOWNESS, REBOOTING, NON RESPONSIVENESS AND NEEDS REBOOTING WHILE DRIVING TO GET IT TO WORK. WHEN IT CRASHES WILL BREAK BACKUP CAMERA, TURN SIGNALS, AND ABILITY TO CONTROL DEFOGGERS WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

WELL DOCMENTED FAILURE OF A MEMORY CHIP THAT HAS BEEN DOCUTETED TO FAIL AFTER A CERTIN AMOUNT OF READ/WRITE CYCLES, TESLA HAS BEEN WELL AWARE OF THIS FAULT FOR YEARS AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES LEAVING OWNERS SOMETIME STRANDED OR REDUCLED VEHILCE FUNCTIONALTY. TESLAS RESPNOSE HAS BEEN TO REPLACE THE FAULTY SYSTEM WITH A REFURBISH UNIT THAT WILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE IN THE FUTIURE AND CHARGING THE CUSTOMER BETWEEN 1500-2000 TO REPLACE.

COMPUTER OCCASIONALLY CRASHES AND COMPROMISES THE SAFETY OF VEHICLE BECAUSE OF A DEFECT. ALSO DOOR HANDLES, ALL 4 HAVE BROKEN COMPROMISING SAFETY, BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

MY MEDIA CONTROL UNIT (IPAD SCREEN-LIKE) CRASHES, IS INCREDIBLY SLOW AND DOESN'T LOAD INTERNET FEATURE THAT WAS PROMISED. TOOK TO TESLA MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY SAID IT'S NORMAL AND THEIR FUTURE UPDATES WILL ADDRESS THIS. THIS WAS SAID LAST YEAR, AND MY INTERNET STILL DOESN'T WORK (EVEN UNDER STRONG WIFI). CRASHES PERIODICALLY AND VERY SLOW. *TR

THE VEHICLE'S PRIMARY SCREEN FOR CONTROLLING MOST FUNCTIONS, KNOWN AS THE MCU VERSION 1, CONSTANTLY CRASHES, WHILE DRIVING AND STATIONARY. WHEN IT IS OFF, I CANNOT USE MY REVERSE CAMERA, CONTROL HEAT/AC, NOT CAN I CHECK VARIOUS CAR STATUSES. IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH TESLA. I AM BEING TOLD IT WILL EVENTUALLY STOP WORKING ALTOGETHER AND THERE WILL BE A $2500 COST TO REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME MCU WITH THE KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

TOUCH SCREEN FAILURE. SCREEN WENT BLANK JAN 3RD 2019 STILL UNDER WARRANTY.WAS ABLE TO RESET AFTER MANY TRIES. PARKED CAR WENT TO WINTER HOME. RETURNED APRIL 16TH SAME PROBLEM. WORKING WITH TESLA THROUGH OUT PROBLEM. FINALLY TESLA SAID BRING THE CAR IN. NOW OUT OF WARRANTY SO HAD TO REPLACE MCU $2250.00

THE CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAY OF MY TESLA MODEL S HAS ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING. I CAN NO LONGER ACCESS THE MAJORITY OF THE FEATURES OF MY VEHICLE, SUCH AS TURNING ON A/C, ACCESSING GPS, CONTROLLING THE SUNROOF, ADJUSTING VEHICLE SETTINGS, ADJUSTING MY SIDE MIRRORS, DEFOGGING THE WINDSHIELD, ACCESSING THE REARVIEW CAMERA, AND ANY OTHER SETTING THAT IS CONTROLLED BY THE CENTER DISPLAY. THIS HAS MADE DRIVING THE CAR NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. BECAUSE OF THE LOW VISIBILITY OF THE REARVIEW WINDOW, I HEAVILY RELY UPON THE REARVIEW CAMERA. SINCE CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAY WAS OFF AND HENCE NO REARVIEW CAMERA, I ENDED UP DAMAGING MY BUMPER INTO A LOW-PROFILE OBJECT THAT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE BEEN VISIBLE HAD THE CAMERA BEEN ENABLED. I ONLY DROVE MY VEHICLE ONCE AND DAMAGED IT ON THE FIRST DRIVE WITH THE CENTER CONSOLE OFF. I CONTACTED TESLA TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED, BUT WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO...

THE TOUCHSCREEN IS FINALLY DEAD, WOULDN'T TURN ON. ALL SETTINGS RELATED TO THE TOUCHSCREEN IS ALL GONE, THUS ALL ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS CONTROLLED BY THE TOUCHSCREEN IS OFF, INCLUDING BACKING UP CAMERA. I FELT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CAR WOULD TAKE A VERY LONG TIME TO TURN ON. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT, IT ROLLED BACKWARD SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE CREEP MODE WAS DISABLED WITH THE DEAD TOUCHSCREEN. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOTICE THE CAR ROLLING AND STOPPED IN TIME BEFORE HITTING SOME OTHER CAR.

MCU FAILED. WHEN IT FAILED CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. BEFORE FAILURE MCU WAS CONSTANTLY REBOOTING WHILE DRIVING. DURING REBOOT WOULD LOSE HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, RADIO, AND AIR CONDITIONING. COMPLETE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY. REBOOTING OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. *TR

CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAY AND COMPUTER FAILED AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA PE20010, WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY APPROXIMATELY JANUARY 2018. REPLACEMENT UNIT IS NOW SHOWING INITIAL SIGNS OF SAME FAILURE (EXTREMELY SLOW START-UP NOW INCLUDING BLANK INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHEN ENTERING/STARTING CAR; CELLULAR CONNECTIVITY AND NAVIGATION FAILURES; UNUSUAL SOUNDS OR LACK OF AUDITORY FEEDBACK FOR VEHICLE CONTROLS, BLANK BLACK SCREEN FOR BACKUP CAMERA, ETC.) *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TESLA MODEL S. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CENTRAL COMPUTER FAILED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM, AUTO-PILOT, REAR BACK-UP CAMERA, AND SEVERAL OTHER UNDISCLOSED ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TESLA (140 UNIVERSITY TOWN CENTER DR #138, SARASOTA, FL 34243, (941) 866-6597) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MEDIA CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,400. *LN*JB*DT*JB

REGARDING TESLA MODEL S VEHICLES (MODEL YEARS 2012-2018) THAT HAVE AN MCU FAILURE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE MEMORY CHIP DESIGN, IN ADDITION TO LOSING THE BACKUP CAMERA WHEN THIS FAILS, THE TURN SIGNALS ALSO BECOME INOPERABLE. THIS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. *TR

FIRST IT STARTED WITH THE BACK UP CAMERA NOT DISPLAYING WHEN I WOULD PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, SO I HAD TO REBOOT THE SYSTEM. FEW DAYS PASSED THEN IT DID IT AGAIN SO I REBOOT ED THE SYSTEM AGAIN BUT THIS TIME MY ENTIRE SCREEN WENT BLACK AND IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON AFTER DAYS OF REBOOTING THE SYSTEM. I TOOK THE CAR INTO TESLA TO CHECK AND THEY SAID MY MCU NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM WITH THE MCU GOING OUT IS THAT IT CONTROLS EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE BACK UP CAMERA AND IT ALSO CONTROLS THE A/C AND WHEN THE MCU WENT BAD IT LEFT MY A/C 24/7. IT TOOK A WEEK FOR MY TO GET MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE SO MY CAR HAS THE A/C RUNNING 274/7 FOR A WEEK. IT TOOK ANOTHER 2 WEEKS FOR THE SERVICE CENTER TO GET THE MCU IN...
