What problems does Tesla have?
February 22, 2023
If any car is right now in terms of the electric car market, it is Tesla. The company created by Elon Musk has become a perfect balance, but this does not mean that there are problems with the car it creates. An example can be found in Example, X.
Significant problems
-
Low Production
The COVID-19 outbreak in Shanghai, where its main export plant was forced to shut down for 20 days and took several weeks to recover, resulting in the loss of production of up to 90,000 vehicles. On the other hand, maintenance problems are preventing Giga Austin and Giga Berlin-Brandenburg from reaching their planned production.
There are problems not only with quantity but also with quality. The German manufacturer halted production for two weeks to fix quality problems with the Tesla Model Y which meant downtime. In addition, they are finding it difficult to find enough skilled workers and have to offer higher wages.
-
supplies
Tesla was able to avoid many problems by supplying essential components for electric vehicles, such as microchips or batteries, without increasing the cost of the products or their suppliers. As a result, they were forced to raise prices several times in a year and a half.

Layoffs
In June, an internal Tesla message was published where remote work was not included, as working at home was only possible by working 40 hours a week at work. In addition, 10 people were reduced in jobs (about 100,000 people by the end of 2021), although in the end there will be “only” 3.5 people left, but in offices, not in factories.
The release of this ballast is in line with Mr. Elon Musk’s negative view on the direction of the economy, following economists’ warning that developed countries have gone to the bottom of the economy. Economic results will be released on July 20 and may not be good.

Battery problems
A Tesla battery can start to run out of power after 10 years of purchase and will run out of power at 20 years. This may seem like a long time, but it will be even if the car is very well maintained and this unit is very expensive to repair.
5. Touchscreen
The physical buttons have disappeared in the new Tesla models, replaced by a simple, modern screen.
It can be used to switch equipment, for example, but also to perform other tasks such as air conditioning or heating, and road planning. However, this convenience comes with risks: the driver can be distracted and lose consciousness on the road, leading to an accident.
Tesla Incidents
Tesla closed October with historic assets of 2 billion euros, also dispatching a universal of 241,300 vehicles. With no confiscation November has had a complicated appearance; first, with Teslas 11,700 cars were recalled for a program erratum that affected the transportation attendants of its main models the Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y.
Recently, another mishap was added that prevented certain Tesla users from squeezing the furniture to pamper their automobiles and, therefore, start. To find out more about the subsequent overhang, we consulted the technical office of the EUROCYBCAR body, the body that has set up the first experiment to measure and certify the level of cybersecurity of a vehicle – and it does so in compliance with the UNECE/R155 legislation.
