    Black screens after soft reset (2018 MX 75D). Need help!

    2018 Model X 75D. Warranty expired literally 2 days ago. I'm fuming because of the possible implications. Supposed to go on a ski/cabin trip tomorrow with kids. Last drive of the day today parked the car with 25% battery. Home charger was having problems starting the charge. I did a soft reset...

    2022 Model X - glitchy system

    Yesterday, for no particular reason I had both front screens go black - car has been stable since I've received it last year. I had left the car running the a/c on Dog Mode for about 5 minutes before returning (which I've done many times before). It took roughly 5 minutes to get the car to...

    Screen Went Black in Car Wash for 2-3 mins

    Didn't have time this past weekend to do my normal hand wash, so took the car to the local Sheetz Touchless car was today. One of those deals where you pull in, park, and the stuff moves around the car and power wash/dries it. I put the car in Car Wash Mode (CWM) just to be safe. This is only...

    2017 MX has Black screen reboots not working!

    I have 2017 MX with MCU2. No sound from infotainment so I did a soft reboot, but it never came back. Tried rebooting multiple times (up to 3 minutes of holding the buttons) but still have black screen. I can drive and it appears to charge when plugged in, but I cannot connect to car through app...

    Touchscreen black but "functional"

    I saw a lot of threads on black screens or unresponsive touch screens but nothing on what I'm seeing. 2017 Model S 75D, just upgraded to MCU2 the weeks ago. Started driving yesterday and the center screen never turned on. I pressed the scroll wheels to restart it, the backlight came on but I...

    Model X seemingly bricked—black screens all around, reboots don’t work

    Have a 2021 Model X with roughly 15k miles. Drove the car multiple times today without issue. Parked the car at home for about an hour and went to leave and the instrument panel wouldn’t come on, though center screen would. I first did a soft reboot and then neither screen would come on. I...

    Black Screen - had to reboot

    Day 7 of owning our MY LR and this morning the screen was black upon entering the car and it would not go into drive. Performed the two button reboot process. The car is on Software 2021.3.101, which as I understand it is a firmware from the factory and the car will eventually be update to the...

    Stuck in"Waking up"

    Ever since the last update, I am repeatedly getting stuck in "Waking up" on the app. weirdly, the car will open and even drive, but the screen is black, so it's dangerous. So far, everytime this has happened, it was after a cold night where the car was not plugged in. The first time it...

    Startup Issues

    Hey y'all! Just wondering if anybody has experienced this or knows of a fix...? I've had at least 6+ instances since taking ownership of the vehicle taking a long time to start/boot up when I get into the car. The car is able to detect my phone and auto unlock on approach but when I get into...

    Screen crash after update 2020.28.5 on model 3 LR?

    We've had our blue 3 LR since December 2019, and this is the first time I've experienced a screen/system crash like this! The car has been parked in the garage a lot more often due to Covid and WFH, that said we recently set the do not lock at home feature, and let the update for 2020.28.5 run...

    Service Center Drove Over a Nail - Wants Me To Pay

    Black screen: MCU replaced (lost state, firmware version went backwards)

    On Friday night my Model 3 LR RWD (December 2017 build) screen went dark and unresponsive. This happened while it was sitting parked. Although I was able to do various things (turn on the headlights, move the seats, etc.) the display was quite dead. Scroll wheel reboot did nothing. After...

    Good Morning. This happened to me twice now this week. I get in the car and press the brake, only the screen in front wakes up and the car is drivable, but the main screen remains black. No AC, no music. I had to reset by pressing the brakes and the two scrolling wheels for a while to turn it...
