Brand-new Tesla vehicles are experiencing self-driving computer failures,
which are resulting in significant problems. Inside sources say that the
problem is contributing to overwhelming Tesla’s service.
Over the last few weeks, Electrek has received several reports from new Tesla
buyers claiming computer failures on brand-new cars.
We have been investigating the problem, and based on insider sources and
documents that we obtained, we can now explain the issue in more detail.
The problem is linked to a new version of Tesla’s HW4 (sometimes called AI4)
onboard self-driving computer. Internally, some refer to the new version as
AI4.1. The computers are short-circuiting. The cause is still being
investigated, but one source told Electrek that one of the possible causes is
the low-voltage battery short-circuiting the computer during the camera
calibration process.
Tesla drivers are reporting computer failures after driving off with their
brand-new cars over just the first few tens to hundreds of miles.
Wide-ranging features powered by the computer, like active safety features,
cameras, and even GPS, navigation, and range estimations, fail to work.
Insider sources told Electrek that the problem is quite wide-ranging. It
affects vehicles built over the last few months with the new computer.
Two sources said that Tesla is currently receiving a high number of
complaints about this issue, and it has yet to release a service bulletin
about it. One source said that Tesla service is being told to play down any
safety concerns related to this problem to avoid people believing their
brand-new cars are not drivable.
The issue arose at the end of the year when Tesla is trying to deliver a
record number of vehicles to avoid its whole year down in deliveries – a
first in a decade.
It’s unclear if Tesla reported the issue to NHTSA despite the fact that the
broken rear-view camera goes against federal safety regulations, which should
force a recall.
At the moment, the main remedy being discussed is a computer replacement, but
Tesla is also looking to push a software patch to help temporarily.
Tesla service is currently being overwhelmed by the issue, and Tesla is
pushing service appointments to next year.
I am not hating here. This is a significant issue that customers should be
aware of. It is significant enough that several inside sources decided to
reach out about it, and many customers are complaining about the issue.
It is worrying that Tesla has not issued a service bulletin about it, and
Tesla service is told to downplay the problem at the end of the quarter.
I would expect NHTSA to issue a recall here, and Tesla could be in trouble
for downplaying an issue that has been going on for weeks, but I don’t think
that’s going to happen considering what the Trump transition team, in which
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is greatly involved, is signaling to the federal agency.
We are in for an interesting few years regarding auto safety in the US.

特斯拉的新車內自動駕駛計算機存在重大問題
全新的特斯拉汽車正在經歷自動駕駛計算機故障，這會導致重大問題。內部消息人士稱，
該問題導致特斯拉的服務不堪重負。
在過去的幾周里，Electrek 收到了幾份來自特斯拉新買家的報告，聲稱全新汽車的計算
機出現故障。
我們一直在調查這個問題，根據我們獲得的內部消息來源和文件，我們現在可以更詳細地
解釋這個問題。
該問題與特斯拉 HW4（有時稱為 AI4）車載自動駕駛電腦的新版本有關。在內部，有些人
將新版本稱為 AI4.1。計算機短路。原因仍在調查中，但一位消息人士告訴 Electrek，
可能的原因之一是低壓電池在相機校準過程中使計算機短路。
特斯拉司機報告說，在最初的幾十英里到數百英里里，他們開著全新的汽車離開后，電腦
出現了故障。由計算機提供支援的廣泛功能，如主動安全功能、攝像頭，甚至 GPS、導航
和里程估計，都無法正常工作。
內部消息人士告訴 Electrek，這個問題範圍相當廣泛。它會影響過去幾個月使用新電腦
製造的車輛。
兩位消息人士表示，特斯拉目前收到了大量關於此問題的投訴，並且尚未發佈有關此事的
服務公告。一位消息人士表示，特斯拉服務部門被告知要淡化與此問題相關的任何安全問
題，以避免人們認為他們的全新汽車無法駕駛。
問題出現在年底，當時特斯拉正試圖交付創紀錄數量的汽車以避免全年交付量下降——這
是十年來的第一次。
目前尚不清楚特斯拉是否向 NHTSA 報告了這個問題，儘管損壞的後視攝像頭違反了聯邦
安全法規，這應該迫使召回。
目前，正在討論的主要補救措施是更換計算機，但特斯拉也在尋求推出軟體補丁以暫時提
供説明。
特斯拉服務目前被這個問題壓得喘不過氣來，特斯拉正在將服務預約推遲到明年。
我並不討厭這裡。這是客戶應注意的一個重要問題。它足夠重要，以至於幾個內部消息來
源決定就此事進行聯繫，許多客戶都在抱怨這個問題。
令人擔憂的是，特斯拉尚未發佈有關此事的服務公告，並且特斯拉服務部門被告知在本季
度末淡化該問題。
我預計 NHTSA 會在這裡發佈召回通知，而特斯拉可能會因淡化已經持續數周的問題而陷
入困境，但考慮到特斯拉首席執行官埃隆馬斯克 （Elon Musk） 積极參與的特朗普過渡
團隊正在向聯邦機構發出信號，我認為這不會發生。
我們正處於美國汽車安全的有趣幾年。

心得/評論：
最近特特噴爛了，來點鬼故事壓壓驚
雖然這兩天上線的FSD13.2.1被ARK宣稱已經是無人出租車會用的版本了
但HW4現在被指出有硬體缺陷，可能會電壞自己的攝影機
今晚往__?
