2026 Tesla Model X problems

“Driving with FSD the car stopped right in front of dive way it was far away from the garage door moving little bit back and forth. Slight press of the gas paddle caused the car to accelerate going through the garage door with no sign of stopping and ended with my car crashing through our house wall. All four air bag deployed.”

“In July 2026, Tesla sold me a yoke steering wheel for my 2026 Model X Long Range and Tesla's service team installed it. On September 3, 2026, Tesla informed me the yoke is incompatible with my vehicle configuration and that the vehicle will not receive over-the-air software updates until the original round steering wheel is reinstalled. The vehicle has received zero software updates since July 2026. I am concerned the airbag in the Tesla-installed yoke may not deploy properly in a crash. I drive approximately 600 miles per week and do not feel safe in the vehicle. Tesla has not resolved this in 69 days despite weekly requests.”

“For over the past 18 months, Tesla FSD software deliberately removed the driver’s ability to control following distance, instead replacing it with fuzzy descriptions of “mad max, hurry, standard, chill, and sloth.” As a result the car cannot maintain a safe highway following distance as determined by the driver. When in Hurry and or Standard mode, the car will routinely reach speeds of 75 to 80 mph and decrease following distance to about 3 car lengths, with no car for more than 20 car lengths behind. When a sudden slowdown occurs, the tesla reacts slowly, often decreasing the following distance to 1 car length, as the car behind closes and misjudges the deceleration of the Tesla, resulting in a potential 3 car collision. Adjusting from hurry to standard, or even down to chill or sloth mode does not bring the following distance back to the driver’s education rule of thumb - 1 car length per 10 mph. About 3-10 seconds after the mode change, the software forces an unexpected lane change into a slower lane. The only solution is to disable all driver assistance measures, coast to the necessary following distance and then re-engage. The cycle then repeats. Sometimes…”

“Incident Description: I was driving on the highway using Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) / FSD Supervised at approximately 65+ mph. Traffic conditions were moderate, and weather and visibility conditions were clear. While FSD was actively engaged, my phone began ringing. As I briefly attempted to silence the ringing phone, the FSD system unexpectedly disengaged/canceled during highway driving. I did not receive sufficient audible warning, advance notification, or adequate transition time to safely assume full manual control of the vehicle. There was no meaningful cushion time for driver response before vehicle behavior changed. The disengagement occurred abruptly and created an immediate dangerous situation at highway speed. The sudden transfer of control, without sufficient warning or response time, significantly reduced my ability to react safely. At the time of the incident: - My attention had been on the roadway prior to the phone ringing - I was monitoring the vehicle as required under FSD Supervised - My hands were near the steering wheel - There was no construction, lane merge, or unusual road condition nearby Immediately following the disengagement, the…”
