A Single Component Can Brick Older Teslas and Tesla Won’t Fix It

That isn’t the case with Tesla’s eMMC chip, which according to a number of complaints that allege when the chip fails out of warranty, owners lose access to the vehicle’s media control unit and bricks the car. On the specific issue, the eMMC chip in older Teslas is based within the car’s media control unit and used to log data collected by the media system. However, until the company starts stocking parts like the eMMC chip, as well as release detailed service manuals to the public, Tesla is going to be looking at a number of newish cars dead in a junkyard real soon.
