Electronic parking, while parking the automobile in the garage I pressed the parking option. The automobile surged, rammed the garage, backed up and rammed the garage again and careened backwards into the street.

April 2016 Crash

This complaint is about tesla's first generation media control unit (mcu). The mcu is the brains of the car and control the big center screen that the tesla model s is known for. When it failed not only did I lose the ability to use this big screen but I also lost key safety items signals, backup camera, cruise control, automatic breaking, and auto pilot.
