What owners wrote
Heat no longer works in the car's climate control. This apparently is tied to faulty humidity and temperature sensors that must work properly for the heating system to work, and tesla service centers are aware of this yet are not proactively replacing them. This is a safety issue in cold climates since the windshield defrost no longer works, and the car is unsafe to drive overall in cold temperatures without functional heat.
