Common Problems: TESLA MODEL S
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- MCU1 eMMC Memory Failure (Recall 21V035)(Moderate)
The main touchscreen unit (MCU1) uses an 8GB eMMC chip that has a finite lifespan, eventually leading to system instability or total failure. Tesla issued a voluntary recall (21V035) to upgrade the chip to 64GB.
- Suspension Control Arm Creaking(Moderate)
The front and rear suspension control arms (wishbones) can develop a loud creaking or squeaking noise, particularly when turning or going over bumps, caused by water ingress into the ball joints.
- Air Suspension Leaks(Moderate)
The air suspension struts or compressor can fail, causing the car to sag or display suspension fault messages.
