Most common problems:

Problem

explanation

Dbs activation delay

Some Tesla Model 3 vehicles may experience a delay in the activation of the Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) system, which can affect the vehicle's braking performance in emergency situations.

Software glitches

The Tesla Model 3, especially the 2020 model, can encounter software glitches that may affect various systems, including DBS. Regular software updates are necessary to fix these issues.

Sensor malfunction

Sensors that assist the DBS system can sometimes malfunction, leading to improper functioning or failure of the system to engage when needed.

False positives

The DBS system might occasionally activate when it is not required, due to misinterpretation of sensor data, leading to unnecessary braking.

Battery degradation

Over time, the dual motor system's battery may degrade, potentially affecting the overall performance, including the efficiency of systems like DBS.

Firmware issues

Firmware issues can sometimes cause the DBS system to function improperly, requiring updates or resets to correct the problem.

Hardware wear

Components involved in the DBS system, such as brake actuators and sensors, can wear out over time and may require maintenance or replacement.

Environmental factors

External conditions like heavy rain, snow, or dirt accumulation can impair sensor performance, leading to reduced DBS effectiveness.
