Model S Touchscreen Failures Prompts NHTSA Investigation

mschaffer writes: Some older Teslas (Model S) are experiencing problems due to a worn-out flash eMMC chip. The loss of touchscreen functionality prevents operators from being able to use the backup camera. This may potentially impact 63,000 cars. The agency also acknowledges that the same chip was used in the 2012 to 2018 versions of the Model S and the 2016 and 2018 version of the Model X, accounting for around 159,000 vehicles. "The agency currently has two other such investigations open into Tesla," adds The Verge. "One, opened last October, is about an over-the-air software update Tesla issued that was meant to limit a possible fire risk in the battery packs of the company's cars. The other, opened in January, is looking into claims of Tesla's vehicles undergoing 'sudden unintended acceleration.'"
