The newest Tesla vehicles coming out of the factory with an unannounced HW4 computer upgrade, dubbed AI4.1, are seeing them short-circuit and die down shortly after purchase. In some case, the new AI4 computer gives up the ghost after several hundred miles, rendering not only the FSD feature, but the cameras and GPS navigation hence range estimates unavailable, too. I believe it's a safety defect and the VIN was used to be able to submit the form, it seems to affect most new Tesla vehicles. Thank you

I am submitting this safety complaint as the vehicle owner of a Tesla that was involved in a collision on November 15, 2025. Although I am the policyholder and registered owner, I was not the driver at the time of the incident. My husband, [XXX] , was operating the vehicle, and Tesla Autopilot/FSD was engaged when the loss of control occurred. At the time of the incident, it was raining heavily, though visibility and road conditions were still within what Autopilot typically handles during normal operation. While driving under these conditions with Autopilot activated, the vehicle suddenly exhibited unexpected and erratic steering behavior, causing it to lose stability and veer out of control. The deviation happened rapidly and without sufficient warning or opportunity for my husband to i

NHTSA has created a safety risk by forcing FSD to have extreme monitoring. While in FSD I have to go back to normal driving to change the station on the radio or look at my phone. This is something I do in my non fsd vehicles all the time. The reason for me purchasing FSD is to be safer. Your ridiculous overreach may actually kill me.The entire purpose is to reduce distracted driving, yet your ridiculous rules force an unsafe environment. I hope whoever pushed these restrictions realizes they are accountable for the crashes and deaths they create for forcing people out of FSD.

While driving at night on autopilot last night on the highway, the frunk opened. It blocked our view, luckily it was not busy on the highway and we were able to pull to the side It took multiple attempts to close it back again

While exiting the Chick-fil-A drive-thru lane, I lightly pressed the accelerator to move into the next lane. Suddenly, the vehicle jerked forward very quickly, as if I had floored the accelerator. At the same time, the display showed "Emergency Braking in Progress." It felt as though the truck briefly braked and then rapidly released, causing unexpected acceleration. No collision occurred, but it was startling and very scary.

We received a notice from Tesla about a recall involving the cant rail. We reached out to Tesla and they said we must go to a Tesla dealer and the mobile team will not be able to do this repair. We are in South Dakota and the nearest dealer is 6 hours away in Colorado. We asked Tesla to give us a name of a local shop who can do the repair and they said we must go to Tesla. They are unwilling to handle this recall.

When driving during a snow storm, the headlights of the Cyberteuck become covered in snow and ice. The main headlights that produce most of the light are just under the frunk in an inset groove. Because of the nature of the design it catches snow it collects in that location. Because of the LED headlights there’s not enough heat to melt away the snow. At night your lights slowly fade away until you can barely see anything. Photo is not my vehicle but my friend’s who reported same problem.

When driving in snow, the snow accumilates in front of the recessed headlights on top of the front bumper and makes night driving impossible.

12/01/2024 ODI #11628177.0

The headlight design, being behind and slightly above the front bumper, allows snow to accumulate in front of the headlights while parked and while driving. This prevents visibility in low-light conditions for both the vehicle driver and for other drivers.

1. CHMSL Requirement: FMVSS No. 108 mandates a center high-mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) on passenger vehicles, typically a single lamp centered and positioned above the rear stop lamps. In cases where design constraints prevent a single CHMSL, two identical lamps are permissible, provided they are symmetrically mounted above the other stop lamps. 2. Cybertruck's Rear Light Bar: The Cybertruck’s rear light bar does not appear to comply with this standard, as it presents a continuous light bar rather than a distinct, centrally mounted CHMSL or two identical, high-mounted stop lamps.

On Saturday, [XXX], vehicle was at a T-intersection, in normal drive mode (not FSD) waiting for traffic to pass to enter roadway from side road. Vehicle suddenly started to go backwards. Had to press on the brake to stop. Rebooted the car and the error happened again. Tried to reverse from the intersection to be able to stop the vehicle in a safe location, but steering (drive by wire) was not working. Had to drive with one foot on the brake and one on the electronic throttle to go backwards, even though vehicle was in drive model. Display read 'Traction Control Disabled', 'Adaptive Rider Control Degraded', 'Stability Control disabled', and 'Emergency braking not available'. Tesla service was requested and vehicle was transported to Tesla facility in Tampa. I am very concerned that had this

10/23/2025 ODI #11695253.0

Component/System Failed: The primary component failing is the Front Overhead Console Assembly (P-R-N-D manual gear selector/shifter and hazard light switch). The assembly detaches, rattles, and fails to remain securely affixed to the headliner. The defect has been present since delivery (Aug 2024, 208 miles). Safety Risk: The overhead console contains the crucial backup gear selector and the hazard light button. Should the vehicle’s primary touchscreen fail (rendering the main gear selector unusable), reliance on this repeatedly detaching or faulty manual shifter compromises the driver's ability to safely operate the vehicle (Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive) or activate emergency hazard lights. Problem Confirmation/Inspection: The failure is confirmed by the manufacturer (Tesla Service Cen

I believe there was an issue with the ABS system that kept me from stopping the vehicle, as speed was increasing while going downhill with the brake pedal pushed hard. I was forced to make the choice to steer the vehicle into a mountainside to stop it before I ended up over the side of the mountain road. The vehicle then tipped over, coming to a stop.

While driving on a local road and thank fully at speed of 20mph vehicle lost all power, in few seconds of alerts steering failed as well as brake failed. Car slowly coasted to stop and died completely. Steering and brakes were completely unresponsive all of a sudden while driving. Was only able to get out of car via emergency exit. If this was on a highway at highway speed am very positive it would have been a disaster.
