What 365 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Tesla Model S Bev

MY 2 DAY OLD P85D SUDDENLY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION: TESLA BUILT THESE P85D CARS WITH FAULTY ELECTRICAL CONTACTORS THAT IT WAS SECRETLY RECALLING THROUGH ITS FORUMS. THE FAULTY CONTACTORS CAUSED SOME NEWLY RELEASED P85D CARS TO LOSE ALL POWER WITHIN FIRST 100 MILES. TESLA SHOULD ISSUE A PUBLIC RECALL TO REPLACE THE FAULTY CONTACTORS. TESLA SHIPPED THE P85D CARS WITH OLD SEATS , EVEN WHEN IT CHARGED CUSTOMERS FOR NEXT GENERATION SEATS. TESLA NEEDS TO IMPROVE ITS PROCESSES AND MAKE SURE IT RELEASES CARS ONLY WHEN SAFE FOR PUBLIC ROADS. I SHOULDN'T BE PAYING OVER $100K TO GO THROUGH THESE PAINS AND DANGERS.

MY SHORT RANGE BRAND NEW P85D WITH 191KM (120MI) DIED SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION (COMPLETELY STOPPED MOVING) ON -12C WEATHER. EVEN THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING. MY 10 YEAR OLD SON AND I HAD TO GET OUT AND PUSH IT TO THE SIDE. CALLED MY DS WHO CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHO PUT HIM ON HOLD FOR 30 MINUTES AND THEN TOLD ME THAT IT WILL BE AN HOUR BEFORE A TOW TRUCK ARRIVES. MY SON AND I WERE FREEZING WITH NO HEATER SO I MADE MY 80 YEAR OLD DAD COME AND PICK US UP. NEEDLESS TO SAY ... I AM NOT IMPRESSED. I KNEW I WAS BUY BLEEDING EDGE BUT A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN 2 DAYS AND 140KM AFTER LEAVING THE SHOWROOM? REALLY?

P85D LOST POWER ON ROAD, "PULL OVER SAFELY". WITH TESLA'S LATEST FIRMWARE UPDAT E0.167 PUSHED OTU UNTESTED TO ALL P85D CARS, THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER SUDDENLY WHEN DRIVING. IT LEAVES THE DRIVERS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF ROADS DANGEROUSLY. TESLA IS NOT ISSUING A RECALL, AND IS TRYING TO SUPPRESS THIS AND MANY MANY OTHER QUALITY AND SAFETY ISSUES BY LIMITING THE INFORMATION TO ITS FORUMS ONLY, AND SOMETIMES REMOVING THOSE INFORMATION TO SUPPORT ITS HIGH QUALITY IMAGE, AND SUSTAIN ITS BUBBLE STOCK VALUATION. MORE DETAILS HERE IN THIS THREAD. HOPE THEY DON'T REMOVE THE ENTIRE THREAD. HTTP://WWW.TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP/43075-P85D-LOST-POWER-ON-ROAD-PULL-OVER-SAFELY -- WAS HEADING DOWN A 45 MPH ROAD AT ABOUT 57. HAD THE CRUISE SET. NO CARS IN FRONT. WAS TAKING A VERY SLIGHT CURVE IN THE ROAD AND THE CRUISE DISENGAGED BY ITSELF. NO ERRORS OR ANYTHING, JUST AS IF I HAD TAPPED THE BRAKE OR SOMETHING. HMM... SO I RESUMED IT AND IT WENT BACK TO WORK. LESS THAN HALF A MILE LATER I DISENGAGED CRUISE TO REGEN TO A STOP TO MAKE A LEFT AT A LIGHT. A COUPLE OF SECONDS INTO THAT AND I GOT THIS DREADED MESSAGE: "CAR NEEDS SERVICE; PULL OVER SAFELY". *JS
