  POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  Driving on a road trip from Norfolk to Louisville from military duty and the car lost power suddenly on the highway at night. Very scary. Had been averaging about 72 mph. Absolutely no reason for it. 36 degrees outside in the middle of rural KY. Awful experience. Likely gonna need to get towed.

  FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING

  Tried to Auto Park the car and almost hit my other car. It didn't recognize the fender of the Tesla. I had to push on brake. I have only tried auto park once. I am pretty sure it would have hit my Tesla. With highway drive assist and steering Icon yellow, the car doesn't maintain the lane and swirl and drifts into the next lane without warning. The color of the steering Icon does change white. This has happened several times mostly as the freeway curves. Once I am able to bring the car back into the lane the steering Icon turn yellow itself, without any intervention from me. As a person is driving and focusing on the road it is not possible to look to the icon. It not only gives false sense of security but also drift is worse then lane assist without drive assist. With lane assist it at least chimes and gives a red color when the car is drifting. current functionality is either faulty or counterintuitive and risky for self and public.

  Actual miles displayed after charge on the display compared to actual are discrepant by about 30%. One my first and second charge I thought I was missing some thing but on one of the charge I noted the car to have charged to 413 miles and shown in the attachment below, I drove 210.2 miles and remaining charge was 64 miles (loss of 139 miles or 33% (139/413). I am not ready to buy the argument that it depends on weather or driving etc. I am living in southern California weather has been 60-80 F. I having driving at 20 -70 miles / hr and using regenerative breaking.

  1. Monitor on dashboard stops functioning and camera views (front and back) are not available. Message on the screen is a yellow "triangle" with "!" and "UNAVAILABLE". Lack of camera view hinders reversing specifically in a parking lot with crossing pedestrians and other cars and hazards.
