Well this is the one of the most nonsense posts I've seen here in a while.
Let's be clear about one important thing: The "computer" (ie, the infotainment system) doesn't have the capability of causing actual control issues with the vehicle besides things that
must be controlled via the touchscreen (more of an issue with Tesla's decision to remove physical controls on the 3/Y/Plaid than anything, IMO, but I digress).
First, I'm not convinced any of this has anything to do with "overheating". Second, charging to 100% has nothing to do with the infotainment computer and will have nothing to with it overheating or not. That's an automatic red flag that the OP has no idea what they're talking about.
Let's debunk.
- False input from physical controls (a severe accident leading to severe injuries or death may occur)
This is pretty outrageous. Nothing the infotainment setup does or doesn't do can EVER lead to a problem with physical controls. You press the accelerator, the car will go if capable, you press the brake it will stop, etc. This is complete nonsense.
- Frozen camera (extreme risk of an accident when relying on the outdated feed from the camera)
First, if you're relying solely on the rearview camera when backing up... well, there's some words I could use to describe you and they're not flattering.
Second, this is a bit of an issue on MCU2, Model 3/Y, and Plaid since the rear camera is software driven on these vehicles instead of being a hardware-enabled overlay directly to the screen like on MCU1 S/X vehicles. I think this was a bad design choice, but, I also think the safety risk related to this is blown out of proportion... again, mainly because the rear camera is an aid and shouldn't be required for safely reversing the vehicle. If you can't do so without it, you need to learn how to be a better driver.
- Brake fault (can't drive)
Lie. Brakes have nothing whatsoever to do with infotainment components.
- High voltage system fault (can't charge)
Nothing whatsoever to do with the infotainment computer.
- Park brake fault (parking brake functions degraded)
Nothing whatsoever to do with the infotainment computer.
- Turned off computer not responding on the restart command (access inside the car may be impossible)
I mean, if the infotainment system is broken.... then, ok... maybe it won't restart?
The "access inside the car may be impossible" this is nonsense, as the infotainment setup has nothing to do with key functionality or lock/unlock functionality. This is handled by the BCM and SEC modules.
- Steering assist reduced (steering may require increased or inconsistent effort)
Nothing whatsoever to do with the infotainment computer.
- Black side cameras (can't use Autopilot, driver-assistance and active-safety features)
Viewing cameras on AP2+ vehicles all handled by software. If there's an issue with the computer, then sure you won't be able to see them. Oh well?
Autopilot
activation depends on the infotainment setup being online, but the AP active safety features have nothing to do with it on any AP vehicle (AP1 onward).
If you can't view the side cameras and can't engage autopilot I have a solution for you and some things to point out: Your vehicle has windows. Look out them! And a steering wheel. And an accelerator pedal. And um, also brakes.... can use those too!
- Dyno mode enabled (can't drive)
Dyno mode...... I'm not even sure what this has to do with the computer at all. And even if somehow your car ended up in dyno mode, you could still technically drive.
- Powertrain requires service (speed and power may be limited)
??? Nothing whatsoever to do with the infotainment computer.
- Air suspension requires service (suspension may not be level)
Air suspension is handled by an entirely separate module and.... Nothing whatsoever to do with the infotainment computer.
- False closed-door indicator when the door is open (check the doors visually)
This just seems like a bullet point for the sake of a bullet point. Ok sure, if the infotainment system is frozen it might freeze showing doors in positions not related to reality. Who cares? If you're driving a vehicle, you should also have at least one working eyeball.
- Not working outside temperature indicator (severe issues usually follow promptly)
The outside air temp sensor reports to the thermal control module and.... Nothing whatsoever to do with the infotainment computer. Sure, could misreport if the computer is frozen, but.... again, how is this a "severe issue"?
- Uncontrolled software behavior, e.g. staring playback, increasing the volume to 100%, uncontrolled windows and alerts
This sounds like nonsense. But, ok... broken computer behaves like a broken computer.... safety issue? Nope.
- False and missing navigation instructions while using Navigate on Autopilot
Last I knew, NoA used its own maps and such, so no actual safety issue here. (NoA is pretty pointless anyway, but, I digress again).
- Variety of charging errors
Charging has nothing to do with the infotainment computer.
- Spontaneous error beeps of different sounds
Yep, this one's going to be the killer. My car killed me from sudden beeps. /s
Ok?
Again, the infotainment computer has nothing whatsoever to do with any safety critical systems.
The car will still drive normally. Turn signals, lights, etc will work normally, etc etc. You're not going to die because the infotainment computer crashes. The whole design of the system makes the infotainment system non-critical.
When it has issues: Yes, it's annoying. Yes, it's irritating. Yes, it's frustrating.
But it's not a safety issue.
Stop trying to make a huge deal out of nothing.
