The owner of a new Tesla Model 3 was left in shock after the car's main features allegedly froze while he was driving on the freeway.
The recall issued this month includes Tesla Model 3s and Model Ys from 2022 as well as Model Ss and Model Xs from 2021 and 2022 that are running certain versions of Tesla's operating system. A computer chip in the infotainment system in these Teslas may not cool sufficiently, leading to slow processing or a restart. The infotainment system may lag or appear blank.
Tesla said in a public filing to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it had identified 59 warranty claims and reports of the issue. It initially fixed the issue in some vehicles this January by replacing the computer chip in affected infotainment systems. By April it had developed a software update to address the issue.
Recall completion rates are much higher for software updates than traditional recalls, which is a safety benefit. Experts say a downside of over-the-air updates is they may encourage automakers to release features that haven't been adequately tested and may be rough around the edges.The-CNN-Wire & 2022 Cable News Network, Inc., a WarnerMedia Company.

when purchasing a car- there is a saying.... 'more bells and whistles = more stuff that will need repair'....
Bad day for Elon Musk.
Trashla are too high and have to many recalls

Ok, you got me again. Thinking I might have to take my car to the service center and all the inconvenience that would entail. But no, just another OTA update my car will receive while I sleep. Maybe you could lead with that next time.
They r rolling piles of junk Consumer Reports just ranked them 2nd on least reliable list for 2 years in a row! Y anyone would burn $100k+ on them just for status points is beyond me🤪
Tesla says it is resolving the flaw with an over-the-air software update, which refreshes software wirelessly like a smartphone app update, making the recall less burdensome for Tesla and affected owners. Tesla owners won't need to take their vehicles to a service station.
Over the air update. Whoop de doo
Lol
