Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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. …”
