He said he liked the first two Teslas he bought but not his new Model X. He added his two other Teslas have not given him any trouble, but his black Model X turned to be a disappointment. According to Barrett,\u00a0Tesla \u2018rushed\u2019 the new Model X before it was ready for market. At the same time, other customers are also seeking for refunds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Barrett Lyon cited multiple issues with his\u00a0Model X\u00a0in the lawsuit against Tesla Motors last month. The Model X&#8217;s falcon wing doors opened and closed at random, hitting his wife and smashing into other cars. Barrett said the car\u2019s self-parking software doesn\u2019t work properly and demonstrated a video that shows the vehicle failing to drive autonomously into the garage. Among other issues, he said the car\u2019s autopilot feature was particularly dangerous in the rain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tesla and its technologies continue to attract the attention of car enthusiasts and the clean energy industry. However, Barrett Lyon thinks Tesla should reconsider the pace of its production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Northern California man has recently filed a Lemon Law claim against Tesla, stating his car is unsafe to drive.
