What owners wrote
There is a flaw in the tesla emmc which will inevitably cause a critical portion of the chip to fail prematurely, due to constant excessive logging within the touchscreen system. Ultimately the memory chip fails and the touchscreen goes black, placing the car in limp home mode, the parking sensors and rear view camera no longer work, it will not charge and effectively becomes un-drivable when the battery runs out. The emmc is a linchpin component for the functionality of the car.
Car randomly freezes. Many navigation functions such as turn signals will stop working. Nearly caused a collision. Replaced mcu per tesla's advice. Issues continue. The last written statement from tesla is "known characteristic of current firmware." unwilling to address or fix issues at any cost.
