I just wanted to share the issue we have had with my wife's brand new Model Y. This is our second Tesla. I have a 2020 Model 3 Dual Motor. We've only driven it 800 miles. The GPS marker is stuck at the last location. It will not move.
The car works as usual. These are what works.
I got the car back. The next morning it happened again. I took it back. This time they said they'll need to replace the computer. I'm on day 3 (second visit). I hope to get an update today. They gave me a gas loaner. I'm a little upset about the fuel cost. It's about $16 to "fill up" my Tesla at a super charger while the Audi Q5 I got will probably cost upwards of $60. I wouldn't mind the time as much if they were able to loan me another Tesla.
We've been using my Model 3. My family fits fine but we wanted a bigger vehicle, hence the Model Y. Hopefully, we get it back soon. I asked them if the issue is connection, by replacing the computer, is it also replacing the communication module? What if the computer is fine but it's the antenna/modem/network module (I don't know what it's called) is the issue. And that's a different computer outside the computer. Wouldn't it not solve the issue? Just sharing my thoughts. Maybe someone out there can chime in on how this stuff works.
We got the car mid-August with last six VIN 2479XX.
The car works as usual. These are what works.
- Car is drivable
- Odometer works
- HVAC works
- Turn signals
- GPS
- Cameras
- Lanes not drawn on the screen
- Objects are detected as if it is still parked in the driveway. So as I'm driving there are red indicators of objects close to the car.
- Cruise control/auto pilot
