“I have two issue One issue is -door sometimes hard to open , I have to roll the window down to open it from outside / it's electronic touch sensitive and I have to wear rubber gloves to open the door with force - it happens randomly on both passenger and driver side . …”
NHTSA complaint #11521793, filed 2023-05“When my car starts in ECO mode, meaning ECO mode was the last setting on my last drive, the car appears to drive in ECO mode given the pedal's delay in power; however, on freeways, it can easily go pass 80mph, which it isn't supposed to. Then when I change my car mode to any other mode after starting my car in ECO mode, so Comfort, Sport, etc, and then switching back to ECO mode, I noticed the pedal now has more resistance then it did before. It feels like now, it's 100% ECO mode because I get way better efficiency now. …”
NHTSA complaint #11667118, filed 2025-06“This occurred 4 separate times over the period of 30 days after purchase of car. While driving on the highway car suddenly lost engine power shifted into neutral and was unable to drive.

NHTSA complaint #11521085, filed 2023-05“I understand Tesla started this trend of reducing horsepower based on the car's State Of Charge; however, there's times when having access to full horsepower can help collisions, especially rear end collisions. My car gets full horsepower when it's SOC is at 90-100%. Then is gets less as the SOC gets lower. It should get 100% horsepower regardless of SOC when stepping down on the pedal 100% to where I can fell a switch is being pressed. At freeway on ramps when I'm trying to merge, when my car's SOCis at 30%, it drives slower than at 80% and more obvious at 100%.”
