What 237 owners told NHTSA about the 2017 Tesla Model X P90d

THE MCU ON THE VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH IT SHUTTING DOWN AND GOING BLANK. ALSO MANY MCU FUNCTIONS AREN'T ABLE TO BE USED DURING THESE PERIODS. THERE'S BEEN TIMES A RESET DOESN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND TESLA HAD TO FIX THE VEHICLE. TESLA ISSUED A WARRANTY ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING ARE CONSISTENT WITH THIS NOTICE, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AS STATED IN THE NOTICE. HTTPS://WWW.TESLA.COM/SUPPORT/ADJUSTED-COVERAGE-PROGRAM?REDIRECT=NO&UTM_SOURCE=ITERABLE&UTM_MEDIUM=EMAIL&UTM_CAMPAIGN=WARRANTY_ADJUSTMENT_PROGRAM&UTM_CONTENT=OWNERSHIP&UTM_LOCALE=EN_US&UTM_TERM=20Q4 IN THE PHOTOS SUBMITTED IT PROVIDES TESLA'S DECLINING TO REPAIR THE EMMC, AND TESLA'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT MY ISSUES ARE CONSISTENT TO THEIR NOTICE. THE VIDEO EVIDENCE IS TOO LARGE TO SEND HERE, BUT I CAN SEND THE VIDEO IF NEEDED.

THE MCU IS NOT STARTING UP

NHTSA ODI 11375062

MCU AND TOUCHSCREEN ARE EXTREMELY SLOW TO RESPOND AND NEED CONSTANT REBOOTS TO UNFREEZE. I SPOKE TO TESLA SERVICE ABOUT REPLACING THE MCU OR THE EMMC UNDER THEIR NEW WARRANTY PROGRAM BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY HAVE TEMPTED INTO THE CAR AND FIXED THE ISSUE BY CLEARING THE MEMORY. IT'S A TEMPORARY FIX AS THE ISSUE RETURNS IN A FEW DAYS.

VEHICLE CENTRAL TOUCHSCREEN RANDOMLY "REBOOTS" EVEN WHILE DRIVING. SCREEN WILL GO BLACK AND TAKE 2-5 MINUTES TO POWER BACK ON. SCREEN ALSO FREEZES UP WITH INCREASING REGULARITY (SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK) FORCING MANUAL REBOOT. WHEN REBOOTING BACKUP CAMERA, AND AUDIBLE PARKING SENSOR CHIMES ARE DISABLED. ALSO TURN SIGNAL NOISE INDICATOR IS DISABLED. DATE OF INCIDENT IS TODAY'S DATE BUT ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING AND INCREASING IN FREQUENCY FOR THE PAST 12 MONTHS.

MAIN CONTROL UNIT (MCU1) FAILS DAILY. IT WAS FIRST REPLACED WITHIN 2-4 MONTHS OF PURCHASED BECAUSE OF THE BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH. WILL LOSE AC, NAVIGATION, CAR LOCK, AND MANY OTHER THINGS THAT MAKE THE CAR WORK PROPERLY. TESLA CONTINUES TO DELAY ANY REPAIR FOR YEARS. THIS MUST BE.MY 6TH OR 6L7TH TIMES BRING IN THE CAR FOR REPAIR WHICH THEY DO NOT SEEM TO REPAIR.

I HAVE THE MCU1 COMPUTER ON MY 2017 TESLA MODEL X. THE TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO REBOOT THE COMPUTER. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION.

THE MCU (MEDIA CONTROL UNIT) ALSO KNOWN AS THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER WENT OUT ON MY 2017 TESLA MODEL X. WHEN THIS UNIT WENT OUT, I LOST THE ABILITY TO USE THE TURN SIGNALS, THE BACK UP CAMERA, MOST OF THE CONTROLS TO CHANGE SETTINGS FOR THE CAR AND THE CAR WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCEPT A CHARGE. THE CAR WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AT HOME WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND I TRIED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH TESLA TO GET THIS RESOLVED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THAT THEY COULD NOT TAKE THE CAR IN AT THE TIME. IT WOULD BE ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE PART AND THAT I COULD STILL DRIVE THE CAR. THEY ALSO ASKED ME TO KEEP THE CAR CHARGED BUT I ALSO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE CAR IS UNABLE TO DO SO AT HOME. HE ASKED ME TO TAKE IT TO TESLA SUPERCHARGING STATION AND TRY THERE. I LET THEM KNOW THAT MY TURN SIGNALS WERE NO LONGER WORKING AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT HAND SIGNALS WERE STILL AN ACCEPTABLE FORM OF VEHICLE DIRECTION/MOVEMENT INDICATION. WELL, I TOOK IT TO THE SUPERCHARGING STATION WITH THE TURN SIGNALS AND REAR CAMERA NOT WORKING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT CHARGE SO I HAD TO TAKE IT HOME AGAIN DRIVING WITHOUT TURN SIGNALS ON THE FREEWAY. I FINALLY CONVINCED THEM THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT THE CAR WOULD LOSE ALL ITS BATTERY RESERVE BEFORE I THEY WERE ABLE TO TAKE MY APPOINTMENT SO THE TECHNICIAN ASKED ME TO DRIVE IT INTO THE SAN FRANCISCO TESLA SERVICE CENTER

MCU HAS BEEN SUPER SLOW AND UN-USABLE. CANT USE IT TO MAKE ANY CALLS OR USE VOICE COMMANDS. IT IS SUPER SLOW AND TEND TO FAIL SOON AND TESLA IS NOT READY TO REPAIR OR REPLACE IT. OTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS, RATTLING SOUND WHILE DRIVING AND TESLA SAYS ITS COMMON. I DO NOT EXPECT THIS WHEN I PAID $90,000 FOR A CAR. IT FEELS AS IF I AM DRIVING A CHEAP 20 YEAR OLD CAR.

MY MCU IS STARTING TO FAIL. MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN 03/2017 AND I HAVE 50,000 MILES. THE MCU HAS BECOME SLOWER AND LESS RESPONSIVE OVER TIME. ON 7/28/20 MY MCU BECAME COMPLETELY RESPONSIVE WHILE DRIVING AND REQUIRED ME TO STOP THE VEHICLE SO THAT I CAN PERFORM THE 2 BUTTON RESET. I LOST AIR CONDITIONING DURING THIS TIME FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND IT WAS 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I FEAR MY MCU WILL FAIL COMPLETELY SOON AND I WILL LOSE VITAL CONTROLS OF THE CAR INCLUDING TURN SIGNALS. THE MCU IS FAULTY BY DESIGN OF THE 8GB EMMC MODULE WHICH HAS LIMITED WRITE CYCLES AND TESLA UNCESSARILY LOGGING USELESS INFORMATION TO IT FOR MANY YEARS.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE SCREEN WENT BLANK. MCU TOUCHSCREEN FAILURE. SCREEN IS BLANK. NO RESPONSE AFTER MULTIPLE RESET ATTEMPTS.

THE MCU IS FAILING, ITS SLOW, FREEZES AND HAS YELLOW BORDERS.

EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT TOUCHSCREEN LOCK UP AND SELF REBOOTS RESULTING IN LOSS OF REAR VIEW CAMERA, HVAC CONTROL FUNCTIONALITIES, AND FEEDBACK SOUND/INDICATOR FOR TURN SIGNALS. ENTERTAINMENT(RADIO) CONTROLS WERE ALSO LOCKED OUT. *TR

MY TESLA MODEL X 100 D 2017 HAS THIS BIG SCREEN IN CENTER. AFTER APX. 2,5 YEARS THE SCREEN BECAME LESS RESPONSIVE, ERROR MESSAGE ('PLEASE WAIT UNTIL SYSTEM HAS POWERED UP'), 1-2 MINUTES BEFORE I COULD DRIVE, TROUBLE CONNECTING VIA APP, I COULD NOT INITIATE THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM. I THEN WENT TO TESLA SERVICE CENTER, AND THEY 'FLUSHED THE CAR' AS THEY TOLD ME (MEANING DELETING ADDRESS FAVORITES, AND I THINK ALSO RADIO FAVORITES). THE CAR WAS AS NEW AGAIN! BUT THEN I LEARNED FROM TESLA THAT THIS WAS RELATED TO THE EMMC (EMBEDDED MEMORY CARD) SOLDED ON THE MAIN BOARD ON BACK OF THE SCREEN. AFTER TALKING WITH MULTIPLE OTHERS, IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS IS THE FAMOUS EMMC-FAILURE OF TESLA: AFTER MULTIPLE OVER WRITING OF THIS CARD, IT SIMPLY STOP WORKING. YOU CANNOT CONNECT WITH APP, AND YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THIS (AND IF OUT OF WARRANTY YOU HAVE TO PAY APX USD 2-3000,- OUT OF OWN POCKET! HOWEVER, MORE CRITICALLY (BESIDE THE VERY NEGATIVE FACT THAT YOU IN REALITY IS HAVING A VERY 'DUMB' CAR, IS THAT THE CAR IS NOT AT ALL ABLE TO RECEIVE ANY UPDATES (READ 'CORRECTIONS') RELATED TO SECURITY. THIS IS CLEARLY A HUGE DESIGN ERROR ON PRACTICALLY THE BRAIN OF A TESLA, AND AFFECTS ALL MODEL S AND X UP TO 2018 WHEN TESLA REALIZED THIS BY THEM SELVES AND INTRODUCED A NEW VERSION OF EMMC. ALL VERSION 1 OF THE EMMC SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY TESLA. *TR

THE VEHICLE UNUSUALLY ACCELERATES WHEN IT IS FULLY CHARGED. ALSO, TESLA COMMITTED TO UNLIMITED SUPERCHARGING FOR LIFE REGARDLESS OF ANY OWNERSHIP TRANSFER BUT NOW REFUSING TO ADHERE TO THEIR COMMITMENT.

THE CAR SUDDENLY TOOK OVER AND ACCELERATED BEYOND CONTROL WHILE I PULLED THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE. FRONT AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED AND THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. THE CAR WAS TOTALED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TESLA MODEL X. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART WHEN PROMPTED. THE CONTACT CALLED TESLA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY REMOTELY REBOOTED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE CONTACT CALLED TESLA BURBANK (811 SOUTH SAN FERNANDO RD, BURBANK, CA, (818)480-9217) TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,500.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA AUTOPILOT. HERE IS A CREDIBLE AND EASILY VERIFIED REPORT BY A TESLA OWNER IN UK WHO HAS HAD A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE WHILE ON AUTOPILOT: HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/AT-WHAT-POINT-DO-I-SAY-ENOUGH-IS-ENOUGH.100508/ ** A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE CAR WHILST IN AUTO PILOT SUDDENLY SWERVED ACROSS THE MOTORWAY INTO THE MIDDLE LANE. I CAUGHT IT HALF WAY ACROSS. THE MOTORWAY WAS PERFECT. (INTERESTINGLY AT A SUPERCHARGER, I ASKED THE GUY NEXT TO ME IF THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED TO HIM, AND HE SAID 'FUNNILY ENOUGH, IT HAD AND JUST THAT VERY DAY FOR THE FIRST TIME' (THAT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE SURELY) THIS WAS THE FINAL STRAW SO I SENT IT OFF. SAT NAV, AUTO PILOT, WONT LOCK, RETURNING TO CAR WITH DOOR OPEN, DOESN'T PRESENT DOORS SOME OF THE TIME, DOORS DON'T CLOSE SOME OF THE TIME, SCREEN GOES BLACK, ETC ETC ETC. IT ACTS WITH THE CONSISTENCY OF A SMALL CHILD, YET ITS SUPPOSED TO BE SOFTWARE DRIVEN. THE AUTOPILOT ISSUE IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN. THE GUY I SPOKE TO WHO SAID HIS HAD DONE THE SAME THAT DAY, SAID HIS DROVE TOWARDS A LORRY. I THOUGHT IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO DO THAT AS IT HAS SENSORS? IT WAS VERY WINDY THAT DAY SO I WONDER IF THAT WAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, EITHER WAY TESLA WERE SO CONCERNED ABOUT IT, THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO TAKE THE DETAILS OF THIS GUY WHEN I RAISED THIS ISSUE TO THEM.** EVEN IF THE OWNER HAS HIS HANDS LIGHTLY ON THE WHEEL THE POWER STEERING HAS SUFFICIENT POWER TO WRENCH IT OUT OF HIS HANDS. THIS AUTOPILOT IS HALF-BAKED AND GLITCHY AND THE CONSTANT SOFTWARE TWEAKS ARE MAKING IT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. NO OTHER CAR-MAKER WOULD BE ALLOWED TO CONDUCT SUCH A RECKLESS EXPERIMENT. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE LOST. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN ETC.
