2012 Tesla Model S Electrical problems

I tried to start the car and got the "Center Display unavailable" message. Reset the computer doesn't help. I have to wait for more than 5 minutes for the system to be on.

I charge my Model S on a 30 amp circuit with the car location amperage set to 20 amps to avoid overheating the circuit. Around Sept 12 while plugged in to the 30 amp, the car pulled in 50 amps off the line causing a melting of the wires and a near fire based on the damages later found. The car is supposed to send charging error alerts or problems via the Tesla app. Instead it continued to try to pull power out of the burnt line for 11 days all the while further depleting the battery. I discovered my car a 0%...

Both the 12 volt system and High voltage battery system or a component communicating between the two failed. I received a warning message that my vehicle may not restart and within 30 seconds it completely shutdown while driving in the middle of the road. The vehicle was essentially dead weight at this point. None of its features worked, the ability to unlock it, the ability to use electronic doors and windows functions could not be performed. it could not even be jumped to start the computer enabling it to be...

I appears that Tesla had capped my battery. I have lost significant range for no reason and they have no explanation.

The vehicle was not experiencing display or review view camera display issues but was out of caution serviced nuder Manufacturer Recall Number SB2121001 (NHTSA Recall Number 21V035) for no charge. The vehicle is not under warranty. There was no charge for the initial "repair". When the vehicle was returned, the rear view camera did not function (black screen and/or serious flicker when video was partially displayed). Also bubbles were introduced into the front display panel. On questioning the repair, I was...

MCU failure after 12 months replacement that I paid for at time of replacement. Service center cannot schedule a service for 2 weeks.

As the car drains the battery pretty quickly, I have turned on energy saving mode. In this mode the car enters a deeper sleep, consuming less power. Sometimes in this mode when starting the vehicle, the turn signals will not work (this appears to happen when the car sits for a while and the miles left on the battery is under 120 or so). After a quick stop (2 minutes out of the car), the turn signals will start working, and the driver display will show the blinking turn signal when they work, but it will not...

This is related to NHTSA recall 21V-035. Tesla replaced the 8Gb memory card with a 64Gb memory card (so I'm told) but the main car display screen still does not function most of the time. This results in; -unavailability of the rearview camera display -defrost/defog control settings unavailable for purposes of ensuring visibility -and exterior turn signal lighting may increase the risk of a crash I've had this to Tesla twice now but it has not been fixed.

The contact owns a 2012 Tesla Model S. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle made an abnormal grinding noise without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to a service center where they replaced the drive unit under warranty. Recently, the contact had taken the vehicle to a service center for the recall repair for NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V035000 (Back Over Prevention, Visibility, Exterior Lighting). The day after the recall repair was performed, several unknown warning lights...

I recently had my Tesla Model S serviced due to the touchscreen going blank (losing functionality of defrosting, temperature, sunroof, and a list of other issues). Driving with a fogged up window is dangerous. Thank you to the NHTSA for forcing Tesla to replace it free of charge. Unfortunately, it appears that Tesla is not replacing it with a new unit. Instead it is a refurbished unit. Just days after servicing I got in the car to drive and the following error comes up on the touchscreen: "Center display memory...

Tesla has rejected my claim for repayment for the emmc repair that I paid for that was performed by their Toledo, OH Service Center prior to the recall. I've tried contacting them as outlined in their recall correspondence but haven't received an explanation as to why I don't qualify. The repair was performed on 8/28/2020 on repair order#3000s0001353764.

eMMU seem to have caused "Console display not available error"

I was driving on the freeway over the hill the vehicle shut down on me and it was 43% on the battery and it keeps showing the yellow on the dash saying that battery is overheating

I reached out to tesla about the emmc recall. I booked an appointment, provided photos of various blackout, screen freezing and loss of connectivity issues. Tesla instructed me to update the firmware (which I did) and cancelled my appointment and told me I did not to bring in the car. They also said they would contact me if my emmc needed replacement. However, I continued to have this problem and left a message in the tesla and did not get a response.

On november 23rd 2020 I took my model s ([[redacted]]) to tesla service center lancaster, pa for the tesla warranty adjustment program which was announced on november 9th and related to malfunctioning touchscreen due to a malfunctioning emmc. This is the result of the service visit; 1) tesla lancaster, pa service center told me my vehicle is not in the warranty parameters (the tesla warranty adjustment program stated 8years/100k miles. My car has less than 100k miles and initial delivery was november 24th 2012 -...

The heater and defroster stopped working in this cold weather as we were driving home with my sons. They were freezing and cold. I was not able to see clearly rather very foggy windshield due to non-working cabin heater and defroster. This issue had happened to many many tesla owners, infact model s like mine and even the brand new tesla model 3 and model y with just less than 10o miles. This clearly is a huge negligence on the part of tesla not wanting to fix the issue. However, now right after getting the...

The mcu - media control unit is slow to respond to inputs and slow to startup when entering the vehicle. The screen has locked up several times while driving which leaves the turn indicators unusable and the defroster deactivated until the mcu resets. The hazard indicators are inactive when the mcu turns off. The front suspension links wear out prematurely due to a poor design and the weight of the vehicle. Repairs are costly due the main high voltage battery needing to be removed in order to remove the suspension link bolts.

MCU FAILURE. VEHICLE NOT SAFELY DRIVEABLE

Main infotainment screen fails to respond and needs to be rebooted frequently

The infotainment system is freezing which doesn't allow you to use any features of the car except basic driving functions. This has been attributed to a chip failure in the mcu.

The touch screen on the tesla is black and will not turn on. It's as if the computer is dead. It was working I parked at ups delivery got out, dropped off a package got back i. The car like normal with the key fob, sat down pressed the brake and noticed nothing moved, in other worded the seat, and the touch screen stayed off. Nothing came back after that...

The mcu on my 2012 tesla model s failed in june of 2019, when my car was out of warranty. The center screen went and stayed blank. Among other things, I had no way to turn on the ac during 90 degree days, backup camera was no longer visible making maneuvering this large car when parking very dangerous, and the car was so slow to start up that I was afraid to drive it as I was not secure that it would start again when I was away from home. I had to pay $2,287 to have it replaced. *Tr

The main computer in car - media control unit - malfunctioned... It crashed and caused no turn signals, no rear view camera, and no hvac. Controls for headlights also gone

Mcu failure causing complete loss of instrument cluster, no backup camera, no defrost controls, and inability to access any other functions aside from hazard lights. This failure happed when I stopped to recharge the car. After a while and a system reset, I was able to drive the car again. Still seeing intermittent failures.

My main computer went out as I got home. Screen just went black as I pulled in garage. Ac ran all night, wouldn't turn off. Had to schedule an appt at westchase service center. Drove there with a black screen.
