What owners wrote

I have owned this vehicle since dec 2014. I have replaced 2 windshields and had 2 other rock-chips filled. I have seen numerous things on tesla blogs regarding multiple windshield cracks & chips from other owners. I just had one today due to a small rock where I was 2 car lengths back on the interstate. I recall only 2 other windshield repair/replacements on my cars since 2001.

My emmc chip failed in mcu when vehicle was five years old with less than sixty thousands miles. No rear view camera, no accessories are working, no AC, touch screen went black. With 'pin to drive' activated car becomes a brick: you can't enter pin because screen doesn't work - can't start/drive. Replacement with remanufactured unit (not even new) cost $2000!!!
