Sure. That is a real thing. GM knew about their ignition switch thing for years. And their cost analysis found that it was cheaper to let it go. But, once the issue made national news? Recall.

Post removed for political content? What? Because I said Musk was a nut similar to [politician], that was political content?!

Some people are stuck in their own ways, some people are simply .. different in their understanding ways. Some need to follow, some posts end up here.
BTW--and once again--from the POV of user experience, if a thread is on top it does not necessarily mean that people will see it. People look for "bolded threads"

This to me seems like a potential hazrd that would warrant a recall. Synopsis: The MCU fails and your car simply stops.

So all the people in those forum posts who said the car stopped were just imagining it?

What forum posts are you even talking about?
The only things that stop working are climate control and media/nav, which is what the MCU controls.

The forum posts linked in the article. Did you read the article?

It seems to me that if a Tesla can be "bricked" because of a faulty MCU then it's highly likely that an MCU failure could cause a serious issue while moving.

The original article I posted stated that in the Tesla forums faulty MCU's had caused cars to stop.

It seems a poor choice of words from the article.
Saying "the car stops" conjures up images of it just turning off and coming to a halt on a busy freeway.
This is not the same thing as the car becoming inoperable.
They don't seem to specify which one is actually happening in the article.

Nope. It didn't say the car stops.
That's like saying your car stops if the 12V battery dies. It doesn't.
This is a poor design choice by Tesla for sure but it's not something that's a safety hazard.
A vehicle will not shift into any gear with a lack of electric power unless the manual option is used. Same as Dave, I don't see that the car slowed itself or is simply unable to move.
