There are 4 owner-reported fuel system complaints for the 2022 Tesla Model Yin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
HV failure failed on 2/12/26 @ 62k miles. Multiple errors (BMS_d265 Replacebatterypack, BMS_a079_Max_charge_limit_exceeded, and BMS_a029_dSOC_limiting. Frequent errors while driving, especially during acceleration on highway which were confusing/distracting. The errors seem to indicate danger with the vehicle and to not charge the vehicle/limit the charge to prevent further damage to the vehicle/surroundings. Took into service center on 2/13/26. Confirmed need a replacement HV Pack.
We live on a road with a steep embankment. My wife backed across our driveway and when she put the car from reverse to drive it accelerated uncontrollably. She hit our mailbox, then a power pole across the street, a driveway across the street then over the embankment where she hit a retainer wall another wooden railing and finally came to rest against our neighbors house. If she wouldn’t have caught the edge of the house she would have went down approximately 150 foot embankment. Not only the car accelerated on its own it is supposed to automatically brake, it didn’t and the airbags never deployed. This all this happened right after it went through an automatic update. The car was totaled, with my wife getting a concussion and a lot of muscle injuries. There was no warning lights prior to event and we reported it to Tesla and all they did was send camera images which we had. The car is now in possession of Wawanesa Insurance because it was a total loss
My high voltage drive inverter experienced a failure resulting in loss of all power as well as regenerative braking. Mechanical braking and steering remained available. There were no warnings or indications before the failure. After the failure there were warnings that the propulsion system had failed and to pull over immediately.
Vehicle started reversing from a parallel parking spot to get enough room in front to exit. Once vehicle reversed enough to exit the parking spot driver confirmed vehicle was switched to drive. Accelerator was pressed and vehicle moved backwards instead of forward. Street was flat and vehicle was stationary from when drive was selected and before accelerator was pressed.
