Complaint Summary

Owner Narrative
The company markets the Quick Bandit license plate holder for the Tesla Model Y 2026 Juniper, stating it "does not obstruct Autopilot front camera or sensors." After installing the holder, during FSD (self-driving mode), the Tesla began stopping suddenly on roads and freeways. After stopping, the car will not move because the front camera is seeing non-existent people, as indicated on the screen display. This is a dangerous situation, which could result in a rear-ending accident. After many visits to the Tesla service department, it was diagnosed that the vertical brackets of the holder are causing the cameras to see non-existent pedestrians. I've reported the issue to Teslarati customer service and sent pictures of the problem, but they've responded only once and provided no resolution. They are now ignoring my emails and will not post my reviews. Their product is causing a serious road hazard.
