What owners wrote

Windshield suffers from a "double vision" problem that is noticeably pronounced at night time with oncoming headlights, streetlights, etc. Seems to be a commonly reported item in online discussion forums, and may pose a safety problem when driving at night by causing driver confusion.

April 2016

Ever since I bought my 2016 tesla model x I have been having problems with the mcu (main screen) it keeps freezing up, it won't respond to my touch commands, I can not change the suspension settings, driving settings, climate control, disabling pin and everything that is related to the screen which is basically all functions of the vehicle.
