A young Chinese Tesla owner, Molly, recently reached out to CEO Elon Musk on social media to report "an important bug." A video of Molly's request, which also has a response from Musk, has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter).
In the video, Molly says, "Hello Mr Musk. I am Molly from China. I have a question about your car. When I draw a picture, sometimes the lines disappear like this. You see it? So can you fix it? Thank you."
Molly demonstrates the flaw in the video. When she draws a new line or mark, the lines or marks she previously drew vanish or are no longer visible on the screen. Tesla Motors CEO replied with a, "Sure."

Except in X.July 1, 2024 China Lifts Restrictions, Gives All-Clear Nod For Tesla Cars
In April 2024, Elon Musk met Chinese Premier Li Qiang and other officials to discuss lifting all restrictions on moving and parking of Tesla vehicles in some sensitive areas in the country such as government agencies, as well as launching the vehicles' full self-driving functions in the country. The restrictions were imposed over fears of breach of sensitive and strategic data.
Post the meeting, Tesla was included in the list of 76 models of intelligent connected vehicles that meet the country's auto data security requirements.
