Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Having many issues that seem to follow the reported symptoms of failing emmc memory, however Tesla told me that it is not the issue and that the emmc just needs refreshed for $95.59. It sounds like a way for Tesla to delay the inevitable replacement or avoid replacing the module. Also, I think it should be illegal for an automaker to leave a feature such as autopilot in beta form indefinitely in a production vehicle. I suspect the feature (that was quite expensive) will never be actually finished since development is probably no longer happening on older vehicles.”
