Tesla Model X stalling problems

Filed Jun 16, 2024 · NY

It has been hard for me to signal right and left in a timely manner due to the fact that the turn signal stall has been replaced with two buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. To make this new design even more complicated to learn, when the steering wheel is turned 180 degree (ie when parking or exiting a parking space) the right/left signal buttons are on the opposite side of the wheel and in reverse positions. Second, the only way that I know of to honk the horn, is to press a small button on the right side of the steering wheel. My wife and I have never been able to honk the horn in a timely fashion because this is not how anyone has ever learned to operate the horn on a car, which is supposed to be a bump on the center of the steering wheel. Tesla should be required to replace these controls with standard controls that do t require a new training program and hours of drills to make them instinctive.

All screens in the car shut down while driving and there is no access to your speed, blinkers, control of lights, control of car safety features, wipers, etc. Tesla was notified multiple times and each time they tried to correct the issue, it was not resolved. It has been a year since the issue started and has happened over a dozen times, resulting in unsafe driving conditions. Tesla keeps stating they "remotely diagnose" the problem and told me to keep an eye on it and see if it happens again, although they told me less than 2 weeks prior to call immediately if it happened again. They have refused to fix the problem and it has become a safety issue with driving the vehicle.
