New Tesla models are facing issues with their onboard computers responsible for autonomous driving functions, raising safety concerns. This situation is exacerbated by increasing strain on Tesla service centers.
The malfunctions affect the new Tesla HW4 (or AI4) onboard computer. The cause may be a short circuit during camera calibration. One source speculates that the low-voltage battery could be the source of the problem.
Owners of these new Tesla vehicles are experiencing malfunctions even after only short drives. The malfunctions cause several key systems to shut down, including cameras, active safety features, navigation, GPS, and range estimation.
Tesla is currently dealing with numerous complaints about this issue. Service center staff are instructed to alleviate customer concerns about safety in order to prevent panic and to avoid giving the impression that these new vehicles are unsafe to drive.
