This happens to me too, and almost always with the left turn signal. I just had a service appointment today and told them about this and I actually managed to reproduce the issue with a Tesla service rep sitting next to me in the car. I pushed the stalk repeatedly, briefly to the left to activate the 3 blink signal. One of them came out blank.
The rep said that it seemed like I was using the turn signal too quickly repeatedly and the software couldn't keep up. I honestly didn't buy it (I am more inclined to believe that it's a mechanical issue with the stalk), but he insisted that there was nothing wrong, and they didn't even want to check. It doesn't make sense.
I have another upcoming appointment at a different service center for an unrelated issue so I will try again to get it fixed. I believe it's a safety issue. I changed lanes a few times without a turn signal, thinking that I had used it - this shouldn't happen and if it does, it definitely shouldn't be explained away.
