This Can't be good... screen issues with 2019.8.4
- Thread starter Mod3forMe
- Start date
As others have noted, my 08/18 build previously had zero screen glitches or any reason to reboot.
On 8.3 I had my screen glitch, requiring a reboot, and then I had it self reboot while driving.
Last Sunday, I had the posted glitch occur on 8.5, and performed a manual reboot.
Is it possible this is an issue caused by their prostration for accepting HW3.0 on new production?

I as well am on 8.5 and had this happen to me for the first time. When I zoomed out on the GPS, it actually got rid of the red lines. However, on my drive to work, after seeing those red lines on the GPS for the first time, the screen randomly rebooted as others have mentioned. Pretty wild to drive on "senses" only while waiting for it to reboot. haha

It's called artifacting and is usually an issue with the video card in a computer. Can be caused by too much heat. I guess it could be software related though.
Happened to me a couple of times. I'm on 8.3.
I wish Tesla would make it a point to stress that the car will drive completely normally if the screen crashes or reboots. I've seen a lot of people asking the same question or worrying about it. No reason to panic! It's not that difficult to drive without a speedometer.

Again, I don't think anyone is panicking. We're just making an observation of this issue. For me, it was 4 months of ownership without it ever happening, then about 6 times in the past 2-3 weeks.

Okay, should I panic or at least put an inquiry into Tesla now? Last night getting into the car to leave work, where it was plugged in and charged to my 85% limit, the screen was dark and unresponsive. I stepped on the brake, but screen did not fire up and my seat did not change to my memorized settings like normal. However, I was still able to drive forward. I had expected the screen to automatically reboot, but it didn't after about a minute. I reparked into my spot and attempted the 2-button hard reboot. Waited 30 seconds, nothing. Repeated 2nd time, nothing. Repeated a 3rd time, still nothing. On 4th attempt it finally came back on after about 20 seconds. All normal after that. Never had to wait that long for a reboot before (not complete, just talking about on-screen acknowledgement of Tesla logo) or needed a 2nd attempt. I'm currently on 2019.8.5 as of Monday night.

I just had the same issue yesterday on 2019.8.5. It's software because: 1) multiple people see a similar style of display corruption 2) it, specifically, looks like shape bounds errors when drawing into the display framebuffer. Some of the corruption stays and moves slowly down the screen as the map scrolls. I don't think you can produce this with bad hardware. (It's not behaving like your desktop gpu does when you overclock it, for example.)

I'm on 8.5, my screen was all glitched up when I came out to the car after work last night. A 2 button + brake pedal reset fixed it, but that's the first one of those in the 11 months I've had the car.
8.5 is a little quirky.

Never happened before 8.5 for me, but now this is common. The screen also crashes more frequently. when i get in my car the screen has to reboot. 8.5 is definitely the culprit.

I, too, experienced screen craziness this am as I prepared to leave my garage for work. This is the first issue I have had since taking possession in Dec of last year. (Ver. 2019.8.5, current) The screen was wildly flickering a lot of latent images, with my streaming audio selections staying static and functional. I worried that the vehicle proximity screen would be affected but, once I got into traffic, the ghost cars around me were ever present. The flickering stopped after about 6 mi of driving BUT, my speed limit was a very light gray, difficult to see. The nav earth view was vibrant, as usual. I leave for home in about an hour and we'll see if it corrected further. If not, I'm heading to reboot city! I must say, after reading all the posts, something is afoot(?) What's Tesla up to?

Everybody got their protective plastic off? it's so easy to overlook. I had. And the screen unit can overheat with it on, they told me at the Service Center.
This is the classic case of some code writing out-of-bounds on memory used by GPU textures or geometry causing corruption. I bet it's happening all the time but it rarely overwrites something that's noticeable.

When you say "protective plastic" are you speaking of the aftermarket, screen protector??
I think whoever told you that at the service center pulled that out of their ass.

Update: Errant pixels on screen when leaving work. Reset at home. All is well again, in paradise!
