  VISIBILITY/WIPER

  THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR DOES NOT GOT FAR LEFT OR UP ENOUGH. I AM 5'11. I HAD ANOTHER MODEL Y BEFORE THIS WITHOUT THE AUTO DIMMING MIRRORS. DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE AT ALL WITH THE MIRROR. RIGHT NOW THE MIRRORS I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING ON MY NEXT LANE ON DRIVER SIDE. NEARLY HIT SOMEONE ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS. NOT SURE IF IT IS MIRROR ASSEMBLY OR THE GLASS ITSELF. BUT I IMAGINE MOST LIKELY SOMETHING TO DO WITH HOW IT IS INSTALL. I THINK THE MIRROR'S INITIAL SETTING IS NOT PLACED CORRECTLY SO THE MOTOR CAN'T GO PAST ANYWHERE. THE MIRROR ALSO DOESN'T SIT FLUSH WITH THE DOOR AND TRIM OF THE CAR.

  VISIBILITY/WIPER

  TESLA ADDED NEW AUTO-DIMMING MIRRORS IF YOU ADJUST FOR A PERSON 5'10" OR ABOVE THE MIRRORS DON'T ADJUST TO SEE THE LEFT LANE. IT POINTS DOWN AND TO THE RIGHT. I TOOK DELIVERY OF VEHICLE AND MADE FORMAL COMPLAINT TO DELIVERY TEAM ON 11/27/2020. I WENT WITH SENIOR SERVICE TECH AT THE SERVICE CENTER AND ALL NEW DELIVERY WITH THESE NEW MIRRORS DO NOT ADJUST UP AND TO THE LEFT FOR TALLER DRIVERS. I HAVE A PREVIOUS VIN WITHOUT NEW AUTO DIMMING MIRRORS AND DOES NOT HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. HAVE DISCUSSED WITH A MULTITUDE OF OWNERS WITH NEW MIRRORS AND IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED OTHERS VEHICLES WITH SAME ISSUE ALONG WITH MINE. ALSO SOMEONE HAS RECORDED VIDEO OF IT NOT BEING ABLE TO ADJUST AT LINK HERE HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=UMQA62DS4H4. WHILE DRIVING I HAVE TO HOVER OVER PASSENGER SEAT AND LOWER TO BE ABLE TO EVEN SEE THE LEFT LANE.

  POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

  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.

  SUSPENSION

  HERE IS A 2021 TESLA MODEL Y IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/38193324?ROWNUMBER=7 IT HAS TRAVELLED AN AMAZING 221 MILES BEFORE THE FRONT WHEEL FELL OFF AND CAUSED A WHOOPSIE. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT TESLA IS USING THE SAME FRAGILE SUSPENSION GIBLETS THAT ARE USED IN ALL THE OTHER MODELS OF TESLA. THE TOP BALL-JOINT HAS POPPED APART. THE STEMS ON THE LOWER BALL JOINTS HAVE SNAPPED. IT IS 99% CERTAIN THAT THE OTHER DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS CAUSED BY A LOSS OF CONTROL AFTER THE FRONT WHEEL WENT WHOMPY. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE AND IT'S CERTAINLY NOT PROPER ENGINEERING. IT'S JUST PLAIN WHOMPY. PLEASE GET THESE DEATH-MOBILES OFF THE ROADS. THANK YOU. KEEF
