VISIBILITY/WIPER
EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2016 TESLA MODEL X I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE MCU (MAIN SCREEN) IT KEEPS FREEZING UP, IT WON'T RESPOND TO MY TOUCH COMMANDS, I CAN NOT CHANGE THE SUSPENSION SETTINGS, DRIVING SETTINGS, CLIMATE CONTROL, DISABLING PIN AND EVERYTHING THAT IS RELATED TO THE SCREEN WHICH IS BASICALLY ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE. MY TESLA IS UNDER FULL FACTORY WARRANTY AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SERVICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ALONG WITH SOME OTHER ISSUES 4 OR 5 TIMES, EVERY TIME TESLA SERVICE CENTER TELLS ME THAT THE SCREEN PROBLEM IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON A SOFTWARE FIX FOR IT. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FULLY GET A USE OUT OF ALL FEATURES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. TESLA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GIVE ME A TIMEFRAME ON WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO SEND THE UPDATE TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE SCREEN. MEANWHILE ME AND MY FAMILY ARE AT THE RISK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO START AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE IF SCREEN IS FROZEN AND WE WOULD HAVE TO RESET THE SYSTEM WHICH USUALLY TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES. BACKUP CAMERA DOESN'T SHOW THE PICTURE, SCREEN GETS DISTORTED. I NOTICED UNEVEN TIRE WEAR WHICH I WAS TOLD BY TESLA THAT IT WAS DUE TO SUSPENSION SETTINGS AND I WAS DRIVING IT IN LOW MODE. I CAN'T CHANGE THE SETTINGS DUE TO SCREEN NOT FUNCTIONING. I HAVE GIVEN TESLA SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THEY FAILED. MY LAST SERVICE THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME AROUND $1700 (50% OFF) TO RELAPSE THE SCREEN WHICH SHOULD BE FULLY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. PROBLEM HAPPENS DURING DRIVE OR WHILE STATIONARY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY 2016 TESLA MODEL X'S MCU IS OFTEN FREEZING, RESTARTING, OR GOING COMPLETELY BLACK WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I'M UNABLE TO ACCESS ANY OF THE FEATURES OF THE CAR BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE REARVIEW CAMERA DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE MCU IS HAVING AN ISSUE. WITH THE SMALL REAR WINDOW, I CANNOT SEE ANY CHILDREN OR PEOPLE BEHIND MY VEHICLE. REVERSING WITH NO REAR VIEW CAMERA IS DANGEROUS. I'M ALSO UNABLE TO TURN ON THE FOG LIGHTS WHEN NEEDED. I'VE BROUGHT IT INTO TESLA TWICE ALREADY AND EACH TIME, THEY HAVE SAID THAT THEY CLEARED THE MEMORY AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FOR A MOMENT AND RECONNECTED. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. JUST TODAY, THE MCU SCREEN AND MY ICC SCREEN SHUT DOWN FOR A FEW MINUTES WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. I RECORDED THE INCIDENT. I'VE SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE.

DOUBLE AND TRIPLE GHOSTING OF LIGHTS THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I WILL SEE FALSE IMAGES OF HEADLIGHTS, STREETLIGHTS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, REFLECTIONS OF THE SUN ON CARS, ETC.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
LATE 2016 TESLA MX STILL SUFFER FROM GHOSTING/SECONDARY IMAGES/DOUBLE IMAGES. IN MY CASE IT IS THAT BAD THAT IS HARD TO TELL HOW MANY CARS ARE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT. THE SECONDARY IMAGES APPEAR ABOVE THE CAR AND IT'S HARD TO SAY IF THERE IS A CAR BEHIND THE CAR PRODUCING THE GHOSTING. THE SECONDARY LIGHT IS ALSO VERY INTENSE. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER TESLAS AND THE ISSUE IS NOT THAT BAD FOR ALL BUT STILL BAD FOR A HI END CAR AND COMPARED TO 20.000 CARS. TESLA FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THE ISSUE AND THEY SAY THEIR WINDSHIELD PASS THEIR TESTS. EITHER THEY LIE OR THE TESTS ARE WRONG. IN OTHER CARS TESLAS I'VE TESTED THE GHOSTING IS NOT THAT INTENSE BUT STILL BAD AND I NOTICED 2 SECONDARY IMAGES, ONE UNDER THE CAR AND ONE ABOVE THE CAR.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
MY TESLA MODEL X HAS SEVERE WINDSHIELD SECONDARY IMAGE SEPARATION (GHOSTING). THE LIGHTS OF ONCOMING CARS HAVE TRIPLE IMAGES THAT ARE RADIATE SEVERAL METERS ABOVE THE ORIGIN OF LIGHT. THIS MAKES DRIVING AT NIGHT A DANGEROUS AND EXHAUSTING EXPERIENCE AS I TRY TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE REAL LIGHTS AND THE SECONDARY IMAGES. ADDITIONALLY, THE TAIL LIGHTS OF AUTOS ARE ALSO DOUBLED MAKING THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME BLURRY. LASTLY, TRAFFIC LIGHTS ARE ALSO DISPLAYING SECONDARY IMAGE SEPARATION MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO ACCURATELY READ TRAFFIC LIGHTS. CURRENTLY, I AM AVOIDING DRIVING AT NIGHT TO AVOID THE DANGER OF SEEING MULTIPLE IMAGES. I MADE A VIDEO OF THE EXPERIENCE OF SECONDARY IMAGE SEPARATION WHEN DRIVING MY MODEL X: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=EIBJQDN0NE0 I WOULD LIKE TESLA TO REPLACE MY WINDSHIELD WITH A WINDSHIELD THAT DOES NOT EXHIBIT SECONDARY IMAGE SEPARATION, BUT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THEM TO REPLY WITH MY REQUEST.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY TESLA MODEL X HAS A WINDSHIELD THAT IS CAUSING DOUBLE VISION OR ALSO REFERRED TO AS "GHOSTING" OF APPROACHING CAR HEADLIGHTS, TRAFFIC SIGNALS, DURING DARK OR NIGHT TIME. MORE SPECIFICALLY, AS A DRIVER I CAN SEE BLURRED OR DOUBLE FOR EACH TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIGHT OR HEADLIGHTS OF APPROACHING CARS OR TAIL LIGHTS OF CARS AHEAD OF ME. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY RISK. ESPECIALLY ON UNDIVIDED HIGHWAY, THIS CAUSES SEVER DISTORTION OF VISION AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TWICE. MY FAMILY AND I HAD A NARROW ESCAPE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO TESLA. I HAVE A SERVICE REPORT FROM TESLA THAT CONFIRMS THIS FLAW/ISSUE. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.
NHTSA complaint #10944367 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
VISIBILITY/WIPER
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.

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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
