Tesla Model S Change Vehicle

"The 17 inch screen just didn't turn on last summer when I got in the car. I was not able reboot it. I was still able to drive and the monitor behind the steering wheel worked. I called Tesla, they told me to bring it right in. They couldn't reboot it, so they gave me a loner and two days later brought my car back to me with a new touch screen at my office and picked up the loner."

"When the display screen goes blank, the reboot instructions usually work."

"Happen first few months of ownership, lately has not happen"

"Early Model S Computer Touchscreens were found to have a faulty flash drives, mine failed after time and they replaced my MCU and touchscreen, as part of warranty service. This was done at my home via mobile service."

"Went blank; resolved by Having Tesla repair"

"The screen would not reset and required a new $2300 controller"

"Here's the description from the invoice on May 17, 2019: Concern: System are power up notice keeps coming up and does not power up, Also centre screen won't come on. *Pre drag notes in warp Correction: Replan MCU Touchscreen Model S Technician replaced media control unit as required.

"The center console screen went out and was replaced under warranty since I purchased the Model S as a pre-owned Tesla from Tesla. While in the shop they did a diagnostic on the main battery (which was working perfectly fine) and elected to replace that too. It was showing some issues the service team didn't like so they replaced it free of charge! Awesome service!"

"This was the same problem. Screen went blank and was replaced."

"Had to buy new"

"the main control unit for the vehicle died. Was still able to drive, but not control anything else. A mobile technician met me to replace the main screen & everything is fine since then."

"Center screen went completely blank. Unable to navigate, and after a day unable to even charge the battery in the car. Took it to Tesla Service; I was informed that the whole center screen consul had to be replaced."

"MCU failure caused screen and all associated auxiliary capabilities to not operate or operate at a reduced capacity, including climate control, car charging, proximity sensing, backup camera, entertainment center, voice commands."

"The in-dash navigation system was working improperly, but replacing the Media Control Unit fixed everything."

"Phone often not connected; therefore, the Calendar won't function, and the Calendar doesn't always function, even with teh phone connected, unless you open the Tesla App on your phone"

"Replaced screen updated sotware"

"All electronic controls on the steering wheel stopped functioning. Not a big issue however the horn stopped working so a significant safety issue. In order to fix it i had to leave the car for 5 days at the dealership for a part to be delivered and to replace the steering wheel electronics control mechanism"

"Do not function specifically enough; scroll buttons prone to error while operating them; some functions freeze, then later respond"

"Frequently does not respond at all to voice command, and other related flakey behaviour."

"The voice commands were not understood. It has been corrected via an upgrade"

"The problem started about January and the Tesla dealer found that there was a failure in the Media Control Unit. When the MCU was replaced, all was good. However it was a costly repair! $1400."

"Voice control regularly fails to recognize contacts"

"hatch needed realignment. was fixed fine"

"The outside door handle on both front doors stopped working. It is not possible to open the doors from the outside."

"Windshield crack in top middle. Was covered by warranty"

"Drivers door handle would not extend out. Handle replaced under warranty."

"Autopresenting door handles stopped working on the drivers side rear door."

"Passenger door would not open from outside. A separate issue with the trunk latch not releasing, neither from the inside nor the outside."

"Driver's door handle failed"

"In February 2020 the front passenger-side door handle stopped extending; the door could be opened from the interior but not the exterior. I had service come to my house to replace the handle module, but this did not fix the issue so I took it to the nearest service center where they diagnosed it as a wiring harness issue and installed a temporary fix. This past week the handle stopped extending again, then later in the week it started extending again but would not unlatch the door, and the rear passenger handle stopped extending. A new service visit has been booked for the end of May."

"Replaced door handles"

"Door handle broke. Had to be replaced under warranty"

"Drivers door and rear drivers side door handles stayed stuck in on two separate occasions. Both were fixed within 48 hours. Could still open the door from the inside without issue"

"Driver's door handle did not present so I couldn't get in except through opening the passenger door and opening the driver's door from the inside by reaching across the seats."

"Driver's side door handle not extending."

"Rattles sometimes. Chatters during closing"

"Tailgate out of adjustment. Slams down before latching"

"Rear passenger side window would not roll up completely due to cable stretch according to Tesla shop."

"The mechanisms either stutter, refuse to close the window, or in the case of the moonroof, seem to struggle. 2 window motors have been replaced, I am probably on my way to a third. Also, unique to the model S, I have had 4 out of 4 door handles replaced. The gen 1 door handles were not reliable. I have 1 gen 2, and 3 gen 3s now. I really wish they had a safety feature to prevent them from pinching children's fingers when they close (think garage door obstruction beam tech or equiv) which they do NOT."

"Rain water leaking into tail light assembly causing some led segments to go dark.."

"Water leaked into the car through the sun roof. Tesla replaces the seal. Currently no issues."

"A small leak from the sunroof with intense rain. It got fixed when my car was serviced."

"The seals problem is the same as the wind noise problem"

"There was a seal leak, and took three attempts to fix it"

"I have a moon roof that started leaking drops of water inside the car on driver's head, after heavy rains as I park my Tesla outside on my driveway. After complaining to Tesla, they replaced the rubber linings around the moon roof."

"Wind noise from passengers door, seal around handle was replaced under warranty and fixed it."

"Have a rattle on bumpy roads in sun roof; depends on how cold it is or change in weather. Very variable and hard to fix."

"squeaks and rattles"

"5 squeaks and rattles, all were fixed"

"Sun roof and trunk needed an adjustment after delivery. After adjustment the car is so quiet. I love it!"

"Sounds like the window trims do not seal properly"

"The wind noise and air/water leaks at all door and trunk seals are not of the caliber you would expect in a luxury vehicle. It is compounded by the fact that it is the ONLY noise you hear in the car. It would be way less noticeable if instead of dual motors, there was a combustion engine. So, they need to account for this and seal the doors to assure a quiet ride and easy washability. Right now, water pools at the edges of the tunk & doorframes, it's kinda a pain, and the ride is not dead silent, you hear excessive wind as compared to a Lexus, Audi, Maserati, etc."

"A mechanic came to our house and made some adjustments that eliminated the noise."

"I have had the moon roof serviced several times to correct wind noise and correct water leaks during a very heavy downpour. The leak was fixed quickly but the wind noise persists. In my opinion, the moon roof has design flaws"

"Seal for sunroof on driver's side imperfect leading to wind noise. Tesla will soon be picking up the car and repairing the problem"

"The window and seal required adjustment. Currently no problem. Tesla doing the repair at my home was terrific."
