FWIW, I was stranded due to a bug in the fuel level indicator and mileage remaining estimate on my 2017 Subaru Outback. Subaru knows about the issue but you have to bring it to their attention if you want a fix. Not giving Tesla a pass here, just mentioning that it's not unique to them.

- hooloovoo_zoo 3y agoAs a fellow 2017 Outback owner, Subaru at least sent out a notice to have this fixed for free in April 2019.
- 01100011 3y agoI never got that notice. There is also a firmware bug related to undercharging the battery(shutting the charger off too early) which was also not communicated to me and resulting in getting stranded with a dead battery. Fortunately the car was in a retail parking lot that time and not in the middle of nowhere on the 5 freeway in central CA like when we ran out of gas.
- hooloovoo_zoo 3y agoI’m sympathetic I’m just saying they’re not totally ignoring the problem. There was a battery related class action too https://www.subarubatterysettlement.com/ https://www.subarubatterysettlement.com/
