2016 Tesla Model X Complaint Log

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE SALVAGE YARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/35873206/PHOTOS?RESULTINDEX=2&TOTALRECORDS=14&BACKTO=%2FLOTSEARCHRESULTS%2F%3FFREE%3DTRUE&QUERY=TESLA&QUERY=TESLA&DISPLAYSTR=SEARCH%20RESULTS&VIEWEDLOT=35873206 IT HAS ONLY DONE 3000 MILES. THE BACK WHEEL HAS SKEWED 90 DEGREES SIDEWAYS AND ALL THE SUSPENSION ARMS HAVE SNAPPED OFF. NONE OF THE AIR-BAGS HAVE DEPLOYED. THERE IS SOME SCRAPING DAMAGE TO THE SIDE OF THE CAR BUT NOT ENOUGH TO ACCOUNT FOR THE SNAPPED OFF SUSPENSION. IT IS MOST LIKELY THAT THE SCRAPES ON THE SIDE WERE CAUSED AFTER THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL WHEN THE WHEEL WENT WHOMPY. IT IS BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS THAT THE ALLOY SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ARE TOO WEAK FOR THE HIGH POWER AND WEIGHT OF THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL MORE LIVES ARE LOST BEFORE TAKING ACTION.

HERE IS A NEW COMPLAINT OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHICH SOUNDS HIGHLY CREDIBLE. HTTPS://FORUMS.TESLA.COM/FORUM/FORUMS/NEAR-ACCIDENT-WHILE-PARKING-JUST-NOW NEAR ACCIDENT WHILE PARKING JUST NOW!! SUBMITTED BY HAMI05 ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2016 WOW GUYS I'VE SEEN THOSE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION THREADS BEFORE AND THOUGHT THAT THE PERSON MUST'VE ALWAYS DEFINITELY BEEN PUNCHING THE ACCELERATOR, BUT I'M NOT SO SURE AFTER WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME. PLEASE HEAR ME OUT, BECAUSE MY SON AND I ARE FRANKLY QUITE SCARED RIGHT NOW. I WAS DRIVING INTO A PARKING LOT AND I JUST LIGHTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AS I WAS GOING UNDER 10 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY X WENT FROM 10 TO OVER 40 MPH IN ABOUT 2 SECONDS! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE THING COULD ACCELERATE THAT FAST! CAN ANYBODY EXPLAIN WHAT THE HECK MIGHT'VE HAPPENED? THANKFULLY I WAS ABOUT 100 FT AWAY FROM ANY OTHER CARS BEFORE IT TOOK OFF, SO I HAD TIME TO SLAM THE BRAKES WITHOUT PANICKING, OTHERWISE WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED... I'M CERTAIN THAT I DIDN'T ACCIDENTALLY ACTIVATE CRUISE CONTROL/AP, SO THERE'S NO WAY THAT COULD'VE CAUSED IT. MY THEORY IS THAT THE REGENERATIVE BRAKES MAY HAVE GIVEN ME A SUDDEN KICK OF ACCELERATION? I'M KIND OF WORRIED NOW, BECAUSE THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, EXCEPT THE FIRST TIME WASN'T NEARLY AS BAD, SO I DIDN'T ASK YOU GUYS ABOUT IT. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM? DO YOU GUYS THINK I NEED TO ASK MY TESLA TEAM ABOUT THIS? THIS HASN'T ONLY HAPPENED TO ME WHILE GETTING READY TO PARK, THE FIRST TIME I WAS JUST ACCELERATING UP TO 25 IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT SUDDENLY WENT TO 35 IN A SECOND BUT I WASN'T TOO BOTHERED ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST A 10MPH BURST, BUT THIS ONE THAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY WAS THE CAR JUMPING 30 MPH... I'VE DRIVEN THIS CAR FOR 2000 MILES NOW AND IT'S THE ONLY CAR I'VE BEEN DRIVING REALLY OVER THE PAST MONTH.

I WAS GOING UP BY DRIVEWAY WAITING FOR MY GARAGE DOOR TO OPEN. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND WAS SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT HITTING THE BREAKS WAITING FOR THE GARAGE DOOR TO OPEN. THE CAR TOOK OFF THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR AND HIT MY HUSBANDS CAR SITTING IN THE GARAGE.

THE TESLA MODELS X COMES WITH A TINTED REAR WINDSHIELD. THIS IS VERY BAD A NIGHT, LIMITING THE VISIBILITY THROUGH THE READ WINDSHIELD.TELSA HAS CLEAR REAR WINDHEILS FOR THE MODELS SW AND E. THE TESLA MODEL X ONLY COMES WITH A TINTED REAR WINDSHIELD. NO OPTION IS AVAILABLE FOR A CLEAR REAR WIN SHIELD. THE NHTSA SHOULD COMPEL TESLA TOO OFFER/CHANGE THE REAR WINDSHIELDS ON THE MODEL X, FOR THIS WHO WANT A CLEAR REA WINDSHIELD

HERE IS FURTHER PROOF THAT THERE IS A DESIGN AND/OR MATERIALS PROBLEM WITH TESLA'S SUSPENSIONS. THIS WAS POSTED TODAY ON THE OFFICIAL TESLA MOTORS FORUM. HTTPS://FORUMS.TESLA.COM/FORUM/FORUMS/MODEL-X-FRONT-SUSPENSION-FAILURE CONDENSED VERSION OF POST: YESTERDAY, I WAS PARKING MY MODEL X90D IN THE PARKING GARAGE AT WORK, I WAS MAKING A SHARP TURN AS I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT (IN MANUAL MODE, NOT AUTOPARK), WHEN I HEARD A BANG AND MY STEERING BECAME STIFF. WHEN I TRIED MOVING THE CAR, IT FELT LIKE IT WOULDN'T WANT TO MOVE. WHEN I MOVED FORWARD, THE CAR FRONT PART FELT LIKE IT WAS LIFTED UP AN INCH OR SO. I STOPPED, GOT OUT, GOT ONTO MY KNEES AND CRAWLED UNDER THE FRONT SUSPENSION TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. IT WAS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THERE WAS A FRONT SUSPENSION FAILURE. THE WHEEL APPEARED TO CONTACT THE WHEEL WELL. I REFRAINED FROM MAKING ANY FURTHER MOVEMENT AS THE WHEEL WELL WAS ACTING AS A GIANT BRAKE ON THE TIRE. THIS MORNING, GOT A CALL FROM THE SERVICE CENTER, THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM HAD CRACKED AND WAS BROKEN. . AS A PRECAUTION THEY ARE REPLACING THE CONTROL ARM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TOO.. I AM SURPRISED THAT THE CONTROL ARM CRACKED AS THE FATIGUE CYCLES ON THE PART WOULD HAVE BEEN LOW. I THINK WHEN ONE IS MAKING AN EXTREME TURN, THE CONTROL ARM WILL BE MOST STRESSED AND IT APPEARS THE STRESS ANALYSIS DONE MAY NOT HAVE FULLY CAPTURED THE LOADS DURING THE EXTREME TURN. I WAS DRIVING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH WHILE REVERSE PARKING WHEN IT FAILED. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AS I WAS ON AN EXPRESSWAY AT SPEED, TAKING A TURN/ON A CURVED EXIT RAMP, POSSIBLY MADE WORSE IF I WAS ON AUTOPILOT. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE TESLA ANY MORE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT BUT INSTEAD TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO PREVENT LOSS OF LIFE.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NO LONGER LATCH PROPERLY - CONSTANT CYCLING NOISE COMING FROM LATCH. CYCLING CAN BE STOPPED BY MANUALLY MOVING THE STRIKER LATCH WITH A SCREWDRIVER TO FOOL THE CAR INTO THINKING THE DOOR IS CLOSED. CAR CAN BE DRIVEN BY PLACING AN ARM OUT THE WINDOW AND HOLDING THE DOOR CLOSED MANUALLY. IF THE DOOR IS FORCED CLOSED DURING THE CONSTANT CYCLING, THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE, YOU NEED TO CLIMB IN TO THE FRONT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OR THE REAR SEATS TO OPEN WITH THE INSIDE HANDLE. THE FAULTY LATCHING MECHANISM RAISES CONCERN FOR NOT ONLY WHETHER THE DOOR CAN BE CLOSED SECURELY AND NOT OPEN WHILE DRIVING, BUT THE FAILURE OF BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE IS A SAFETY RISK IN THE EVENT SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY AND THE FRONT DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE.

THIS IS THE WORST CASE IMAGINABLE OF IRRESPONSIBLE USE OF THE TESLA AUTOPILOT. HTTPS://M.FACEBOOK.COM/STORY.PHP?STORY_FBID=863138560487599&ID=336451809822946 THE MAN IS DRIVING THROUGH A DENSELY BUILT UP AREA WITH MANY PEDESTRIANS ABOUT. HE HAS 6 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR HE PASSES THROUGH SEVERAL RED LIGHTS. ALL NO HANDS NO FEET. AND HE TREATS IT ALL AS A HUGE JOKE. HTTPS://M.FACEBOOK.COM/STORY.PHP?STORY_FBID=863138560487599&ID=336451809822946 NO NEED FOR ME TO SAY MORE.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA AUTOPILOT HERE IS A VIDEO THAT WAS UPLOADED ON SEPT 04 2016: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=VRZAZ3BUW7Y HERE IS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A TESLA EMPLOYEE DEMONSTRATING AUTOPILOT TO A POTENTIAL CUSTOMER AND ENCOURAGING HIM TO DRIVE HANDS FREE. THE AUTOPILOT IS STILL PERMITTING HANDS FREE DRIVING WITHOUT SOUNDING ANY ALARMS. THE PASSENGER/DEMONSTRATOR ASSURES HIM THAT TESLA MONITORS THE ROAD AND CONSTANTLY IMPROVES BY SELF LEARNING. I UNDERSTAND THAT AN INQUIRY INTO THE TESLA AUTOPILOT IS UNDERWAY. PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO TO SEE HOW OWNERS ARE STILL BEING GIVEN FALSE CONFIDENCE IN THE SYSTEM.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA MODEL X AND MODEL S UNINTENDED ACCELERATION INCIDENTS. IT APPEARS THAT TESLA IS STILL USING AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT HAS ONLY A SINGLE SENSOR. THIS PEDAL IS SUPPLIED BY FORD WHO HAVE A HISTORY OF UA INCIDENTS INVOLVING ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. SOME MANUFACTURERES HAVE NOW SWAPPED TO A DUAL SENSOR 6 WIRE SYSTEM. IN THE EVENT OF A BAD INPUT FROM ONE SENSOR THIS TRIGGERS A FAULT CODE AND DISABLES THE ACCELERATOR. TESLA HAS REPEATEDLY CLAIMED THAT IN ALL THESE INCIDENTS THE LOGS SHOW 100% THROTTLE. THIS CAN EASILY HAPPEN DUE TO DIRT OR WHISKERS ON THE SENSOR. THE LOG WOULD BE UNABLE TO SHOW WHETHER IT WAS A GENUINE CASE OF PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR OR AN ELECTRICAL GLITCH. I SHOULD NOT NEED TO REMIND YOU OF THE HISTORY OF TOYATA AND FORD UA CASES AND THE NHTSA. TESLA ND ITS SUPPORTERS CONSTANTLY REPEAT THE OLD CLAIM THAT ALL CASES OF UA ARE CAUSED BY DRIVER ERROR. THAT WAS TRUE FOR MECHANICAL THROTTLES BUT IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO EMI OR SPURIOUSLY INDUCED GLITCHES. WITH THE TESLA'S INSANE AND LUDICROUS ACCELERATION THE RESULTS ARE EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN FOR A LESS POWERFULL VEHICLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS TO WHETHER TESLA IS STILL USING A THROTTLE SENSOR THAT DOES NOT HAVE DUAL CIRCUIT SAFETY PROTECTION

HERE IS A MODEL S IN THE JUNKYARD HTTPS://M.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETENC.ASPX?AUCTIONID=0&ITEMID=23232693&ROWID=41&PAGESOURCE=VEHICLERESULTS IT HAS BEEN IN A COLLISION. THE SUSPENSION APPEARS TO HAVE COLLAPSED. THE LH FRONT WHEEL IS JAMMED BACK IN THE WHEEL WELL THE TREAD ON THE TIRE OF THE LH FRONT WHEEL HAS BEEN WORN AWAY WHICH IS ALMOST CERTAIN TO HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE ANY CRASH. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER CASES OF COLLAPSED SUSPENSIONS IN TESLAS. IT IS REPORTED THAT THE CARS LACK ANY FORM OF LIMIT STOPS ON THE SUSPENSION SO THAT A SIMPLE AIR LEAK IN THE SYSTEM CAN HAVE CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

THE WINDSHIELD ON MY MODEL X HAS SEVERE GHOSTING. AT NIGHT, IMAGES OF CAR HEADLIGHTS (AS WELL AS ANY OTHER LIGHT SOURCE) ARE TRIPLED AND SOMETIMES QUADRUPLED DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE STATE OF THE WINDSHIELD. CAR HEADLIGHTS AND OTHER LIGHTS SOURCES ALSO HAVE A STRONG, STREAKING GLARE DUE TO THE WINDSHIELD. ALL OF THIS COMBINED IS LEADING TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, BECAUSE I AM SEEING A MULTIPLICITY OF LIGHT SOURCES WHEN ENCOUNTERING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE CONTACTED TESLA NUMEROUS TIMES, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT NO FIX IS ORDER. I HAVE MULTIPLE EMAILS TO CONFIRM THIS. ALSO, I HAVE PICTURES I HAVE TAKEN FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT AT NIGHT. DUE TO MY CAMERA QUALITY, THESE PICTURES DO NOT ACCURATELY DISPLAY THE EXTREME LEVEL OF GHOSTING, BUT ONE CAN EXTRAPOLATE. *TR

MANY OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ON THE FORUMS ABOUT GHOSTING IN THE MODEL X WINDSCREEN BUT DUE TO THEIR INFATUATION WITH TESLA AND ELON MUSK VERY FEW OF THEM ARE BOTHERING TO REPORT TO NHTSA THIS IS A TYPICAL CONVERSATION ON THE TOPIC. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/I-DONT-THINK-TESLA-WILL-TAKE-GHOSTING-SERIOUSLY.76523/PAGE-3 KAM SHAHID, SEP 20, 2016 NEW ELECTRICITY SAID: ↑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

TESLA IS NOW ALLOWING WEB BROWSING BY THE DRIVER WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION.WATCH THIS VIDEO FROM TIME 27:00 HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=AEU5OL2IR4M THIS IS CONTRARY TO WHAT TESLA HAVE PREVIOUSLY CLAIMED WHICH IS THAT BROWSING IS NEVER ALLOWED WHILE DRIVING. I DON'T THINK THAT I NEED TO SPELL OUT THE DANGERS CREATED BY THIS SITUATION. THERE ARE SO MANY TESLA SHOWING UP IN THE SAVAGE YARDS THAT HAVE BEEN IN MAJOR FRONT END COLLISIONS THAT THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH DRIVER DISTRACTION OR BRAKE FAILURE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

TESLA DEACTIVATED SAFETY FEATURES ON THE FALCON WING REAR DOORS. SAFETY FEATURES WERE ACTIVE WHEN VEHICLE WAS SOLD, NOW THEY HAVE BEEN DEACTIVATED DUE TO CHRONIC PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS CLOSING RELIABLY. INSTEAD OF FIXING THE ROOT PROBLEM WITHT HE DOORS, TESLA CHOSE TO DEACTIVATE THE SAFETY FEATURE DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE DOORS FROM INJURING HANDS, FINGERS, OR ARMS THAT MAY DAMAGED BY THE MECHANICALLY CLOSING DOORS. TESLA DID NOT NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE CHANGE. TESLA SALES REPS DESCRIBED THE SAFETY FEATURES, BUT THE COMPANY HAS NOT NOTIFIED OWNERS THAT THOSE SAFETY FEATURES ADVERTISED BY THEIR SALES REPS NO LONGER WORK.

UPDATE TO THE AUTOPILOT SITUATION. FORUM POSTS TODAY SHOW THAT THE SITUATION IS GETTING EVEN WORSE. HTTPS://FORUMS.TESLA.COM/FORUM/FORUMS/DANGEROUS-AUTOPILOT-NAGGING-EVERY-15-SECONDS-WHY SAMPLE: AESCULUS | AUGUST 25, 2016 MINE WORKS BY HOLDING WITH A FEW FINGERS AT THE BOTTOM. I THINK IT JUST WANTS TO MEASURE SOME AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE WHEN IT MOVES THE WHEEL. ROSSRALLEN | 25. AUGUST 2016 I AGREE WITH @AESCULUS - LIGHT FINGER PRESSURE BIASING THE WHEEL TO ONE SIDE IS ENOUGH, BUT YOU ALSO NEED TO BE READY TO ASSUME CONTROL. SO, A HAND RESTING AT 5, 6, OR 7 O'CLOCK SHOULD PROVIDE ADEQUATE PRESSURE TO BE SENSED BY THE AP. BTW - USE CAUTION WITH AP ON TWO-LANE ROADS: AP STAYS TOO CLOSE TO THE CENTERLINE FOR MY COMFORT, AND MANY APPROACHING DRIVERS DRIVE TOO CLOSE TO THE CENTERLINE. ALSO FROM ANOTHER FORUM HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/DANGEROUS-AUTOPILOT-IS-NAGGING-EVERY-15-SECONDS-WHY.76141/ AESCULUS | 25. AUGUST 2016 MINE WORKS BY HOLDING WITH A FEW FINGERS AT THE BOTTOM. I THINK IT JUST WANTS TO MEASURE SOME AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE WHEN IT MOVES THE WHEEL. CGIGUY, TODAY AT 8:20 AM BRANDON332 SAID: ↑ IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAVE TO LOOK DOWN AT THE SCREEN RATHER THAN ON THE ROAD, I ALMOST CRASHED ONCE! WOW. I'M SOMEHOW NOT SURPRISED BY HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE CRASHING THEIR CARS ON AP WITH STATEMENTS LIKE THIS. AT LEAST YOU WEREN'T PETTING YOUR DOG AND CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR AROUND A CURVE WHILE ON AP. THESE COMMENTS ARE FROM ENTHUSIASTS WHO SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO KNOW BETTER. THE BEHAVIOR OF THE TYPICAL TESLA OWNER IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD IS LIKELY TO BE EVEN WORSE. TESLA OWNERS SEEM TO HAVE BLIND FAITH IN THE TESLA AND IN THE CREATOR ELON MUSK (BLESSED BE HIS NAME)

HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE DANGER POSED BY THE BETA RELEASE AUTOPILOT . FROM THE TMC FORUM. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/FL-I95-AUTO-PILOT-JAX-DRIVERS-HEADS-UP.75990/ DISCUSSION IN 'MODEL X' STARTED BY X FAN, TODAY AT 7:54 AM. I WAS IN LEFT LANE USING AP NEAR WHERE ROAD SPLITS TO I295 LOOP. I WAS FOLLOWING A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TRAVELING AT SPEED LIMIT WITH CARS IN ADJACENT LANE TO RIGHT. ACTION: ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME MAKES A BEELINE TO GET TO FAR RIGHT HAND LANE TO GET TO I295 SPLIT. INSTEAD OF STAYING IN LEFT LANE, MY X MAKES A DECISION TO SHARPLY FOLLOW THAT CAR RIGHT. UNLESS I HAD TAKEN OVER I BELIEVE WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR ADJACENT TO ME IN THE NEXT LANE OVER. AFTER ADJUSTING AND REGAINING COMPOSURE, I QUICKLY LOOKED AT SCREEN AND SAW THAT ROAD STRIPING WAS DIMMED AND I WAS UNABLE TO RE-ENGAGE AP. IT APPEARS THAT THE WHITE CONCRETE ROADWAY COUPLED WITH INTENSE SUN FACING CAR WAS IMPACTING THE X'S ABILITY TO TRAVERSE THE ROAD PROPERLY." NOTE HAVING HANDS NEAR THE WHEEL OR LIGHTLY RESTING ON THE WHEEL (COUPLED WITH AUTOPILOT INDUCED INATTENTION) IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO PREVENT A CRASH PLEASE BRING THIS UNCONTROLLED EXPERIMENT TO AN END.

WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN A PARKING GARAGE GOING 3 MPH THE AUTO SUDDENLY PROJECTED FORWARD AT FULL SPEED INTO A CONCRETE WALL DESTROYING THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR AND INJURING THE PASSENGERS BY DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAGS08102016

HERE IS A FRESHLY UPLOADED VIDEO OF AN OWNER USING AUTOPILOT HANDS FREE. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=RO4DHFCUYEO AT 2:10 INTO THE VIDEO HE PASSES AN ONCOMING SCHOOL BUS ON AN UNDIVIDED ROAD WHILST WAVING HIS HANDS AROUND AND TALKING TO THE VIDEO RECORDER. THERE NEEDS TO BE A VERY LOUD AND CLEAR WARNING ISSUED TO DRIVERS THAT SUCH BEHAVIOR IS DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL. BETTER YET, THE AUTOPILOT EXPERIMENT SHOULD BE HALTED IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE ACT BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE LOST.

HERE IS A TESLA MODEL X IN THE SALVAGE YARD. IT HAS BEEN IN A MAJOR CRASH THE FRONT LH SUSPENSION TOP LINK IS TORN AWAY WHICH COULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE CRASH. HOWEVER, THE TIRE HAS HAD THE TREAD SEVERELY WORN AWAY OVER THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE. THIS COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AFTER THE IMPACT UNLESS FULL POWER WAS STILL APPLIED TO THE MOTOR POST IMPACT. IT IS FAR MORE PROBABLE THAT THE TIRE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED PRIOR TO THE CRASH BY A MECHANICAL FAULT IN THE SUSPENSION. SEVERAL OTHER MODEL X CARS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH BROKEN SUSPENSIONS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER URGENTLY. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DATE OF CRASH, DETAILS OF INJURY ARE ONLY ESTIMATES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TESLA MODEL X. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO A WOOD FENCE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49.

HERE IS A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE DOUBLE VISION ISSUE ON THE MODEL X HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/DOUBLE-VISION-GHOSTING-AT-NIGHT-THROUGH-WINDSHIELD.60997/PAGE-23 OWNERS ARE REPORTING THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. "VERYSAD, YESTERDAY AT 12:32 PM NEW I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY MODELX WINDSHIELD. HAS ANYONE GOT THIS ISSUE RESOLVED? I JUST GOT MINE LAST WEEK. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CAR BUT THIS COULD REALLY BE A DEAL BREAKER IF IT ISN'T FIXED SOON. SERIOUSLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND LIKE OTHERS SAY ON OVERCAST DAYS AND IN THE EVENING" "VERYSAD, YESTERDAY AT 12:41 PM NEW IS THERE NOT A SAFETY INSPECTION COMPLETED BEFORE EACH AND EVERY CAR IS RELEASED TO THE BUYER? THIS GHOSTING IS VERY EASY TO SEE!!!! I'M JUST VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH SUCH A MAJOR DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE! I WOULD HAVE WAITED ANOTHER 6MTHS FOR MY MODEL X TO HAVE A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I'M ACTUALLY VERY EMBARRASSED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT TOLD ANY OF OUR FRIENDS OR FAMILY. PLEASE, PLEASE TESLA, FIX THIS PROBLEM QUICKLY." "ONESIXEIGHT, 7 MINUTES AGO NEW I DON'T THINK RECENT BUILDS ARE ANY BETTER. TESLA HAS SAID THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX OR SOLUTION FOR THE MATTER. MY SC HAS OFFERED TO TRY ANOTHER WINDSHIELD, BUT SAID IN ALL HONESTLY, THEY DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE. IT SEEMS LIKE SOME WINDSHIELDS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS, SO ITS ALL DEPENDENT ON YOUR LUCK. I BELIEVE TESLA MADE AN EXECUTIVE DECISION TO JUST RELEASE CARS KNOWING THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTED INSTEAD OF ATTEMPTING TO FIND A SOLUTION. LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, IT TAKES A SECOND TO LOOK AND YOU CAN EASILY SEE WHEN DRIVING. I LOVE THE COMPANY AND NOW MY 3RD TESLA, BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE WORST SITUATION IS WHEN YOU HAVE 4-5 LANES OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC, IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE IS SHINING THEIR HIGH BEAMS AT YOU" PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE INNOCENT LIVES ARE LOST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TESLA MODEL X. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 TO 60 MPH, THE WINDOW WAS DIFFICULT TO OPEN AND CLOSE. THE WINDOW TRIM BECAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE TRIM WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,600.

AUTOPILOT SAFETY HAZARD CREATING A CRASH WITH ME AND MY SON. ON JULY 25TH, 2016 AT 4:30AM I WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT WITH MY TESLA MODEL X 2016 WITHIN 3 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP. THE ROAD WAS WIDE OPEN WITH ONLY A FEW CARS AND GREAT CONDITION FOR AUTOPILOT, WE ENTERED IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITHOUT ANY CONSTRUCTION OCCURRING AT THE TIME. PER THE PICTURE ATTACHED YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS 2 YELLOW LANES, BUT THE TESLA DETECTED ON AUTOPILOT ONLY THE FARTHEST CLOSEST TO THE GUARDRAIL MAKING THE CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT TO THE HAVE DUTY CONSTRUCTION CONES. THE ROAD WAS IN GOOD CONDITION AND ACCEPTABLE TO ACTIVATE AUTOPILOT. AIRBAGS WAS NOT DEPLOYED.

I AM NOT OWNER BUT AM FILING ON BEHALF OF CHINESE OWNER WHO HAD ACCIDENT IN MONTANA AT 2AM 7/09/2016. DRIVER NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED CAR TO VEER TO THE RIGHT OFF THE ROAD BUT FRONT RIGHT WHEEL IS OFF. SPEED WAS 56 TO 60 MPH MONTANA STATE POLICE RESPONDED. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/MY-FRIEND-MODEL-X-CRASH-BAD-ON-AP-YESTERDAY.73308/ I'M SHARING THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE THE RESPONSE FROM FELLOW TESLA OWNERS CAN BE BORDERLINE HOSTILE WHEN UNEXPLAINED INCIDENTS OCCUR AND MAY SUPPRESS REPORTING AS YOU CAN SEE BY VIEWING THE ABOVE THREAD.

TESLA MODEL X. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NO WARNING BEEPS FROM VEHICLE AUTOPILOT BEFORE ACCELERATION ACCIDENT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ON AUTOPILOT 55-60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO VEER TO THE RIGHT AFTER ABOUT A MILE. IT CRASHED INTO 12 SAFETY POST BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMALLY LOUD SOUND. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AT HIGH SPEED. THE LOUD SOUND STOPPED AFTER BEING PUT INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE DID NOT ISSUE ANY WARNINGS BEFORE THE AUTOPILOT SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. UPDATED 03/29/2017 *JS

ON JULY 8TH 2016, AT 9:37 A.M., WHILE SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT CREEKWOOD DOG PARK IN BRADENTON FLORIDA, MY TESLA MODEL X SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UNDER ITS OWN VOLITION, DROVE OVER A PARKING STOP, OVER A FIVE INCH CURB, AND THEN HIT AND KNOCKED OVER A CONCRETE LIGHT POLE. ALL THIS HAPPENED IN A DISTANCE OF LESS THAN TWENTY FEET. TESLA WAS NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO DIMMITT COLLISION CENTER IN CLEARWATER, FLORIDA. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT TESLA OF TAMPA, TOLD ME VERBALLY THE LOG FROM THE EDR SAYS THE CAR WAS TRAVELING AT 6 MPH, THEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS ADVANCED TO OVER 50% AND THEN TO 87%. THE CAR ACCELERATED TO 20 MPH AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED. I DENIED THIS SCENARIO AND ASKED FOR A SUPERVISOR. TESLA'S SOUTHEAST REGIONAL MANAGER MET US AT THE BODY SHOP. HE HANDED ME A LETTER THAT HAD DIFFERENT EDR RESULTS-VEHICLE SPEED WAS 7 MPH, PEDAL POSITION WENT FROM 3.2% TO 15.6% TO 100% AND CAR WENT TO 14 MPH. THE FIRST REPAIR ESTIMATE SHOWED ACTUAL MILEAGE AS 205 AND A SUBSEQUENT REPAIR ESTIMATE SHOWS THE ACTUAL MILEAGE AS 1425. THESE FIGURES ARE INACCURATE SINCE I HAD LOOKED AT THE ODOMETER SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT AND THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 1800. I INFORMED TESLA THAT I AM POSITIVE BEYOND A SHADOW OF DOUBT THAT THE CAR'S ELECTRONIC THROTTLE COMPUTER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENT WHICH THEY DENY. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE INDUSTRY STANDARD SINCE EXPERTS WILL TESTIFY THAT ALTHOUGH A CAR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR UNINTENDED ACCELERATION THERE WILL BE NO TRACEABLE EVIDENCE OF THAT RESPONSIBILITY AND THEREFORE THE MANUFACTURER HAS PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY. TESLAS ARE UNDERGOING UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AT A RATE MORE FREQUENT THAN 1/5,000 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED. THIS IS WAY MORE FREQUENT THAN THE INDUSTRY STANDARD. GENERAL MOTORS HAS AN EXTREMELY GOOD RATE OF 1/123,000 VEHICLES.

ATTEMPTED TO MERGE ONTO A FREEWAY FROM A STOP SIGNED PARALLEL ENTRANCE. AFTER A VEHICLE IN THE FREEWAY LANE HAD JUST PASSED AND THERE WAS ADEQUATE SPACE BEFORE THE NEXT VEHICLE, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY FROM THE FULL STOP. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FOR ONLY A VERY BRIEF PERIOD, ENOUGH TO GET IT INTO THE LANE AT MAYBE 10MPH BEFORE THE ACCELERATION CUT OUT COMPLETELY AND A VEHICLE COLLISION WARNING AND AUDIBLE ALERT APPEARED ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. THERE WAS NOT ACTUAL COLLISION THREAT PRESENT AND I TRIED PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REPEATEDLY TO AVOID BEING HIT IN THE REAR BY THE NEXT VEHICLE COMING FROM BEHIND AT FULL FREEWAY SPEED. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME CHANGED LANES AND WENT AROUND ME TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE WARNING WENT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY TO FREEWAY SPEED. THIS SAFETY FEATURE SEEMS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR SEVERAL REASONS: * IT INCORRECTLY SENSES THAT A COLLISION WILL OCCUR WITH ACCELERATION IN SOME INSTANCES * IT DISABLES USER CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE (ACCELERATION) * IT DISABLES THAT CONTROL FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME EVEN AFTER THE FALSE THREAT IS NO LONGER DETECTED * IT ALLOWS SOME MOVEMENT BEFORE DISABLEMENT CREATING A SITUATION WHERE THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN HARM'S WAY WITHOUT ANY ABILITY TO SAFELY ACCELERATE AWAY FROM AN IMPENDING ACCIDENT. HAD THE VEHICLE NOT MOVED AT ALL, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN INCONVENIENCE BUT NO RISK * THERE IS NO ABILITY IN THE CURRENT SOFTWARE TO DISABLE WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE UNSAFE FUNCTIONALITY INTENDED FOR SAFETY * THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION TO INDICATE THAT THE CAR HAS THIS UNUSUAL FUNCTIONALITY I HAVE DISCUSSED THE ABOVE ISSUES WITH TESLA MOTORS SUPPORT AND THEY HAVE REVIEWED THE DATA LOGS FOR THE VEHICLE AND BELIEVE IT IS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY AND THAT THIS BEHAVIOR IS AS INTENDED BY DESIGN. MY INITIAL VEHICLE POSITION IS IN YELLOW IN THE IMAGE.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTP://WWW.COPART.COM/US/EN/LOT/27679726?SEARCHID=1165323215 THE SUSPENSION SEEMS TO HAVE COLLAPSED. THE FRONT RH WHEEL IS JAMMED BACK INTO THE FIREWALL AND THE TREAD IS WORN WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE TIRE BEING DAMAGED BY BROKEN SUSPENSION PARTS WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL ROLLING FORWARD. HERE IS ANOTHER MODEL X IN A DIFFERENT JUNKYARD HTTPS://M.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETENC.ASPX?AUCTIONID=0&ITEMID=22497170&ROWID=31&PAGESOURCE=VEHICLERESULTS SAME THING. SUSPENSION COLLAPSED, WHEEL JAMMED BACK INTO THE FIREWALL, TIRE GOUGED WHILE STILL IN MOTION. I BELIEVE THAT THE ALLOY SUSPENSION PARTS ARE TOO WEAK FOR SUCH A HEAVY HIGH POWERED VEHICLE AND THAT THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILAR FAILURES IT CAN NOT BE JUST THAT THE DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE COLLISION.

OUR 5 DAY OLD TESLA X WHILE ENTERING A PARKING STALL SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED AT HIGH SPEED ON ITS OWN CLIMBING OVER GRASS AND AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND MY WIFE'S ARMS HAVE BURN MARKS AS A CONSEQUENCE.

WHILE TURNING LEFT TO ENTER A VERY NARROW GARAGE ENTRANCE I NEEDED TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT I HAD TO STRAIGHTEN OUT BEFORE PULLING IN OR IF MY LEFT TURN WAS TIGHT ENOUGH TO PULL IN WITHOUT REVERSING TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. I SAW THAT I WAS IN THE POSITION THAT I COULD CONTINUE INTO THE GARAGE AND LIGHTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO FINISH MY TURN INTO THE GARAGE. IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT THE CAR ACCELERATED WITH EXTREME FORCE AND WITHIN A SECOND SLAMMED INTO A LARGE CONCRETE POLE THAT WAS JUST INSIDE THE GARAGE TO THE LEFT. I NEVER FELT THE CAR SLOW IN THAT MOMENT, ONLY SPEED UP AND I BELIEVE THE CAR SLAMMED INTO THE POLE WHILE ACCELERATING AND WOULD HAVE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE IF NOT FOR THE LARGE POLE. I DID NOT HAVE EITHER FOOT DEPRESSED ON EITHER PEDAL AT THE MOMENT OF COLLISION. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THERE WAS VERY SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE CAR THAT WILL BE AT LEAST $25K. I WAS NOT ON THE PHONE OR DISTRACTED IN ANY WAY. I WAS DRIVING CAREFULLY AND PAYING FULL ATTENTION. THIS IS NOT A CASE OF MISTAKEN PEDAL BECAUSE I WAS INTENDING TO ACCELERATE. AT FIRST TESLA TOLD US OVER THE PHONE THAT THEIR LOGS SHOW THAT THE DRIVER PRESSED THE PEDAL 100% AND THEN TAPPED THE BRAKE BEFORE IMPACT. THIS EXPLANATION SOUNDED PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THE DISTANCE COVERED WAS LESS THAN 3 CAR LENGTHS. A MONTH LATER TESLA SENT A LETTER STATING THE DRIVER PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR 100% UNTIL THE VEHICLE SENSED A CRASH. TESLA DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR QUERY ABOUT WHY THEIR LOG STORY HAD CHANGED. TESLA ALSO REFUSED TO PROVIDE DATA ABOUT ACCELERATOR/BRAKE PERCENTAGE AND CAR SPEED FOR THE CAR EARLIER IN THE DAY. IF A DRIVER IS PRESSING THE PEDAL 100% IT IS A VERY DELIBERATE ACTION. THIS IS A FAILURE OF THE ACCELERATOR AND THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING. THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED FULL FORCE INTO A LARGE CONCRETE POLE.

HERE ARE TWO MODEL X CARS AT A REPAIR SHOP. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPH. THEY BOTH HAVE FRONT SUSPENSION DAMAGE. THE BLACK CAR IN THE FOREGROUND HAS THE FRONT WHEEL SLICED IN HALF. THIS CAN ONLY BE THE RESULT OF A BROKEN SUSPENSION COMPONENT. ELON MUSK HAS TWEETED THAT THE NHTSA HAS CLEARED TESLA OF ANY PROBLEMS HE HAS ALSO BRANDED MY COMPLAINTS AS FRAUDULENT. THIS IS ABOUT AS SERIOUS AS IT CAN GET. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.

THE RIGHT REAR DOOR (KNOWN AS "FALCON WING DOORS") CAME OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND BEGAN TO IMPACT THE BODY OF THE CAR. NOT ONLY DID THIS POSE A RISK FOR BREAKING THE GLASS ON THE DOOR WHILE IT DRAGS AGAINST THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, BUT THERE APPEARS TO BE NO "PINCH DETECTION" IN THIS SCENARIO AS THE DOOR CONTINUED TO CLOSE WHILE GRINDING THE GLASS AGAINST THE DOOR JAMB. IF A HAND OR OTHER BODY PART WHERE TO GET CAUGHT, THIS MECHANISM WOULD CLEARLY SEVER IT UNDER THE FORCE OF THE MOTORS DRIVING THE HEAVY DOOR. IT IS A MUCH HIGHER RISK DESIGN THAN A REGULAR DOOR DUE TO THE HIGH FORCES INVOLVED GIVEN THE LACK OF A PROPER PINCH DETECTION MECHANISM.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE SALVAGE YARD. IT IS ALMOST BRAND NEW BUT THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS FALLEN APART. HTTPS://M.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETENC.ASPX?AUCTIONID=0&ITEMID=22034238&ROWID=36&PAGESOURCE=VEHICLERESULTS# THE CLOSE UP PHOTOGRAPH REVEALS A LOWER SUSPENSION BALL JOINT THAT HAS FALLEN APART. THERE IS NO COLLISION DAMAGE THAT COULD ACCOUNT FOR THIS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER URGENTLY. YOU HAVE OVER 20 REPORTS FILED FOR MODEL S SUSPENSION FAILURES AND NOW WITH A MERE HANDFUL OF THE MODEL X ON THE ROAD THE SAME FAILURE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED.

ON APRIL 30, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING MY NEW MODEL X ON THE FREEWAY. IT WAS A SUNNY DAY. HE DISENGAGED AUTOPILOT TO CHANGE FREEWAYS. AFTER HE CHANGED FREEWAYS, HE RE-ENGAGED AUTOPILOT. THE CAR FOLLOWED THE CURVE ON THE NEW FREEWAY, TURNING TO THE RIGHT, BUT WHEN THE FREEWAY STRAIGHTENED OUT, THE CAR KEPT TURNING AND HIT A GUARDRAIL ON THE RIGHT SIDE. NO WARNING, NO BRAKING, NO STOPPING. TESLA TELLS US THAT THE AUTOPILOT WAS NOT RE-ENGAGED AND WAS JUST IN CRUISE CONTROL (I DON'T KNOW HOW THE CAR WOULD BE FOLLOWING THE CURVE IN THE ROAD THEN). ALSO, THAT IT'S ALGORITHM CORRECTLY INSTRUCTED THE CAR TO HIT THE GUARDRAIL AT FULL SPEED RATHER THAN TO STOP OR BEEP A WARNING. AT BEST, TESLA SUFFERS FROM A DESIGN FLAW (HOW COULD MY HUSBAND INCORRECTLY THINK HE WAS IN AUTOPILOT MODE; HOW COULD THE ALGORITHM MAKE US CRASH WHEN THE FREEWAY WAS PRETTY EMPTY). AT WORST, TESLA IS COVERING UP THEIR MISTAKES.

WINDSHIELD SUFFERS FROM A "DOUBLE VISION" PROBLEM THAT IS NOTICEABLY PRONOUNCED AT NIGHT TIME WITH ONCOMING HEADLIGHTS, STREETLIGHTS, ETC. SEEMS TO BE A COMMONLY REPORTED ITEM IN ONLINE DISCUSSION FORUMS, AND MAY POSE A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT BY CAUSING DRIVER CONFUSION.

FALCON DOORS DO NOT ALWAYS OPEN CORRECTLY. SOMETIMES THEY SENSE AN OBSTACLE THAT IS NOT PRESENT AND SO WILL NOT OPEN. THIS FAILURE HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN THE FALCON DOORS ARE HOT, FOR EXAMPLE AFTER BEING IN THE SUN. TESLA SERVICE CENTER HAS REPLACED THE SENSORS IN BOTH OF MY FALCON DOORS, BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY. HERE IS ANOTHER DEFECT IN THE TESLA MODEL X WHICH SEEMS TO INDICATE A FAILURE TO PROPERLY TEST THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT IS RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC. THE VIN IS A MADE UP ONE TO SATISFY YOUR WEB-SITE. THERE IS A THREAD RUNNING ON TESLA FORUM COMPLAINING OF DOUBLE OR TRIPLE VISION EFFECTS CAUSED BY THE WINDSCREEN. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/DOUBLE-VISION-AT-NIGHT-THROUGH-WINDSHIELD.60997/PAGE-2 SAMPLE: (EDITED FOR BREVITY) I AM SURPRISED THAT TESLA IS ORDERING YOU A NEW WINDSHIELD. I KIND OF EXPECTED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL THE WINDSHIELDS. ONCE YOU NOTICE THE BRIGHT DOTS FLOATING ABOVE SUN REFLECTIONS ON CARS, IT IS PRETTY DISTRACTING. (EVEN MORE DISTRACTING, MY POLAROID SUNGLASSES MAKE THE REFRACTED IMAGES BRIGHT GREEN). I WEAR POLAROID SUNGLASSES TO FIX A DIFFERENT DESIGN PROBLEM ON THE X, NAMELY THAT THE REFLECTION IN THE WINDSHIELD CREATES A HORIZONTAL LINE RIGHT ACROSS THE CENTER OF MY VISION. I AM SURPRISED THIS SUBTLE DESIGN PROBLEM WAS NOT NOTICED. ELEXTRONS, YESTERDAY AT 8:13 AM I NOTICED THIS ANNOYING DOUBLE IMAGE PROBLEM (ACTUALLY TRIPLE IMAGE IF LIGHT SOURCE IS BRIGHT ENOUGH). I SEE IT DURING THE DAY ON VERY BRIGHT SPECULAR HIGHLIGHT REFLECTIONS OF THE SUN. THIS IS ON A MODEL X DELIVERED LATE IN MARCH. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THIS THREAD. I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE WHEN LOOKING AT A BUNCH OF CARS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT FAR AHEAD OF ME, BUT IT WAS IN BRIGHT SUNSHINE AND THE BACKS OF THE CARS WERE GLINTING. THIS CAUSED VERY BRIGHT, SHARP GREEN DOTS FLOATING ABOVE THE CARS AT ABOUT THE PERCEIVED HEIGHT OF THE STOP LIGHTS. IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WERE MORE GREEN LIGHTS ON THE STOP LIGHTS THAN THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND THAT WAS WHAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. NOTE; NOT JUST DOUBLE VISION, GREEN/RED COLOR SHIFT ALSO

THIS IS A COMPLAINT MADE IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY. THE VIN IS A RANDOM NUMBER AND NOT THE ACTUAL VEHICLE INVOLVED. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT DOORS AND FALCON DOORS FAILING TO OPEN OR CLOSE CORRECTLY. HERE IS A REPORT FROM AN OWNER WHOSE FALCON DOORS OPENED INADVERTENTLY WHILST THE CAR WAS IN MOTION (EXITING HIS GARAGE) CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/FALCON-WINGS-OPEN-FROM-KEY-FOB-SIGNAL-WHILE-DRIVING.67429/ "HOW IT HAPPENED - THE SHORT VERSION ON THE SECOND DAY OF OWNING MY TESLA X, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL IT OUT OF MY GARAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. I ENTERED MY TESLA X THROUGH THE DRIVER'S DOOR, SAT DOWN AND CLOSED THE DOOR, PULLED THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD. AS I MOVED FORWARD ABOUT 3-5 FEET ON TO THE DRIVEWAY I HEARD A CRUNCHING OF GLASS. I STOPPED AND BACKED UP A FEW FEW FEET, GOT OUT AND SAW THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FALCON WING DOOR HAD ATTEMPTED TO OPEN JUST AS I HAD TRIED TO ROLL THROUGH THE NARROW GARAGE DOOR OPENING. THE DOOR HAD CAUGHT THE GARAGE DOOR FRAME AND IT WAS BROKEN AND BENT. YOUR DATA LOGS REPORT THAT THE SIGNAL THAT INSTRUCTED THAT DOOR TO OPEN AT THE MOMENT CAME FROM THE KEY FOB. THAT KEY FOB WAS IN MY FRONT LEFT POCKET AND CAN ONLY HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED INADVERTENTLY BY SOMEHOW BEING PINCHED IN MY POCKET AS I BENT TO SIT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE WHOLE INCIDENT FROM BEGINNING TO END WAS JUST SEVERAL SECONDS. " MY CONCERN IS THAT TESLA IS PUSHING OUT THE MODEL X IN ORDER TO MEET FINANCIAL DEADLINES WITHOUT CONCERN FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. IT SEEMS THAT THE AUTOMATIC DOORS HAVE FAULTY LATCHES AND/OR CAN SPRING OPEN AT THE WHIM OF A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. I BELIEVE THAT TESLA IS ENJOYING FAR TOO MUCH BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT IN REGARD TO SAFETY BECAUSE IT IS PERCEIVED AS A GREEN ENVIRO-FRIENDLY START UP COMPANY.

ANOTHER CASE OF SUSPENSION FAILURE IDENTICAL TO PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS LODGED. TESLA MOTORS CLUB FORUM HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/MODEL-X-FRONT-SUSPENSION-FAILURE.77534/PAGE-4 SREDDY642 SAID: ↑ I POSTED THIS ARTICLE ORIGINALLY AND UPLOADED THESE PICTURES OF MY CAR WHEN IT FAILED IN OUR PARKING LOT WHERE MY CAR IS THE ONLY TESLA. I DO HAVE THE TESLA INVOICE WITH $0.0 CHARGED THAT CLEARLY ACKNOWLEDGES THIS FAILURE AND SHOWS WHICH PARTS WERE REPLACED. I THINK THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO OUR EARLY PRODUCTION MODEL X. THIS ARM WAS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE CAR. TESLA FIXED IT FOR FREE TOO. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPHS. ALSO NOTE HOW THE ORIGINAL POSTER ON THIS THREAD HAS BEEN CALLED A LIAR AND WORSE. MANY OWNERS WOULD BE AFRAID TO REPORT THESE FAILURES DUE TO PEER PRESSURE AND FEAR THAT TESLA MIGHT WITHDRAW THEIR SUPPORT.

REFILING THIS COMPLAINT AS IT DID NOT SEEM TO GO THROUGH PROPERLY 5 MINUTES AGO. HERE IS A REPORT OF ANOTHER BROKEN SUSPENSION WITH PHOTOGRAPHS THAT SHOW AN IDENTICAL FAILURE TO THE LAST MODEL X COMPLAINT FILED. DETAILED PHOTOS SHOW STRETCHED AND FRACTURED PARTS.

The recall was issues on March 22, 2021. It has been nearly 18 months and Tesla has still not fixed the issue for which the recall was done (NHTSA Recall No. 21V-035). It takes time for the car to start every time while the instrument panel refreshes. I believe more than a reasonable amount of time has passed and this issue needs to be remediated by Tesla
