"phone bluetooth seems to randomly disconnect and not be re-enableable without the keycard. phone restarting did not help, had to fully disassociate the phone and re associate it. There is a separate but related problem, where if you use the card to get in, it disables the phone, so you have to make sure to lock it with the card after using it to get in."

Bushings

Power steering

"The power steering went comp,Emely out while driving and I fought the car to the side of the road. Tesla came and retrieved the vehicle and ended up replacing the rack and pinion. After that the steering would act erratic intermittently and get squirrelly with lots of banging noise while driving down the road. Tesla could find no issues with the new rack and pinion and the problem was getting worse. They finally admitted to a problem and again replaced the rack and pinion and this time my problems immediately went away"
