My brand new 2021 tesla model y has had problems with the touchscreen (the main control center of the car) since day 1. It flickers off and on sporadically while driving (different speeds, roads and weather conditions each time) and once (after being parked) wouldn't turn on at all until I put it in reverse as one of the many things I tried. Then a glitchy screen full of static appeared and eventually the screen came back on. There are numerous online posts about how to fix this but none have worked. This occurs while driving, which means I can't see warnings or even the speed I am traveling! I have to wait another week, then drive about an hour to get to the repair location. Then who knows what will happen or how long it will take. Seems you should be looking into all tesla touchscreens, not just the x and s. Just "google" this issue and you'll find plenty of complaints. This is clearly not just me.

This is the 2nd tesla my mom owned, she drove a model 3 without any problems for many months. She picks up this model y on november 19 2020, and drives home from the dealer without issues. Next day november 20, 2020, drives to her work, pulls into a parking spot and came to a complete stop. Approx 5-10 seconds later the car lurches forward, hops over the parking curb, over some grass and into a brick wall at full acceleration. Luckily nobody was hurt, but severe damage to the building and the car. This case of unintended acceleration needs investigation. My mom does not feel safe getting back into this model y.
