UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
The horn does not work when wet or in snow. I was driving in a snow storm and needed to use the horn, but it did not work at all. I tried multiple times throughout the day and it still did not work. Once the snow was gone, the horn started working again. This seems like a serious safety issue.

Tesla, Inc.
Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Turn signal buttons become inoperative. On occasion, the turn signal buttons cannot be engaged, they appear to be stuck and eventually become operative again. Also I believe the placement of the turn signal operators on the steering wheel instead of on stalks is a safety hazard as they are often difficult to engage like when the steering wheel is being turned and the buttons are therefor not in a position where they are easy to engage

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
My left and right turn signal buttons stick, and do not work randomly. I see that this is a very common problem on newer Tesla models with push button turn signals. Turn signals are important and this issue needs to get fixed ASAP.
