#2On the flip side, how cool is it that cars are now smart enough to diagnose themselves and prevent you from driving before what could potentially be an unsafe situation has a chance to occur?

#3I think the general level of abysmal service from Tesla these days, plus the inability to casually sever the network connection/tracking, is the reason I will cancel my cybertruck order.

I don’t think it’s cool at all that this happened on a car with 5200 miles. That’s a bug, not a feature.
If they can do all this real-time surveillance, why not have a conditional somewhere to send a loaner for the case when you sold someone a lemon?

#5"Catastrophic Failure" sounds a bit dramatic.
Re: Our Tesla Model 3 Suffered a Failure While Parked
#6Not only is this the first time we've ever had a long-term car suffer a catastrophic failure while parked, it's also an extraordinarily rare case of any car leaving us stranded, something unacceptable for any new vehicle, particularly one that costs $57,690 and with merely 5286 miles on the odometer.
Can anyone shed light on if this is a widespread issue, or is this an edge case? This article reads like a rant.
Not too long ago, you discovered out your vehicle was dead because it wouldn't start. It would flash a light if you were lucky.
This time, there was no offer of a loaner or any kind of temporary transportation
That sucks, maybe the only notable comment in the entire article.

#7Recently my bothers Ford Focus had service engine light that had come on and vehicle was shut down. He had it towed to ford. which let him know that they recently had a recall on the model and they knew the exact issue. He was neither given rental nor Uber or loaner etc. he had to talk to his insurance company which also did not include recall as a clause so he had to rent.
This sort of shit happens to all cars. Although Lexus has been generous with loaner as they try to push you to trade in or buy newer version on Lexus.

What the?! Sounds sorta awesome.

That was my thought too. And the article even says that the first evidence they had of a potential problem was when it was charging slowly earlier, so this is less "suffered a failure while parked" and more "suffered a failure while driving and diagnosed itself while parked".

"Now"? This has been implemented for years - most people just call it "Check engine light" ;)
