There are 4 owner-reported visibility & wipers complaints for the 2022 Tesla Model Sin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
While driving at approximately 5 MPH, the front passenger side window spontaneously shattered without any external or internal impact. I was alone in the vehicle and no one was seated in the front passenger seat. There were no objects in the car that could have made contact with the glass, and there was no indication of any road debris or other outside force. The window failure caused microshards of glass to scatter into the cabin, creating a potential safety hazard to the driver and any possible occupants. There were no warning lights, alerts, or symptoms before the failure occurred. The vehicle was inspected by a manufacturer service center, but the request for an engineering-level inspection was denied. The service center did not identify any external cause for the failure but still refused warranty coverage and did not escalate the issue for further analysis. The issue has not been reproduced but has not been properly investigated by the manufacturer either. Given the complete absence of impact and the sudden nature of the failure, this appears to be a glass defect or an installation issue. The broken component is available for inspection.
The driver side rear view mirror vibrates at most speeds in a way that renders it useless. This is a well described issue. Tesla is aware of it but refuses to fix it. It renders the mirror useless at some speeds.
Distortion within windshield. Appears to be manufactured this way. Employee within service center is a typical problem. Upon check-in the service writer even noticed it. I got a message from service later advising vehicle is ready to be picked up and the windshield is within Tesla specs. How can something that distracts a driver within the windshield be within specs and how is Tesla not liable if it causes driver distraction or even a collision and they refuse to fix?
Distortion within windshield glass. Appears as if looking through magnifying glass. Causes driver distraction. Appears to be manufactured this way.
