Description of the problem	Driving on highway 280, the auto-pilot stopped working and driving became erratic and unsafe with random accelerations/decelerations. I had no choice but to keep on driving. Tesla kept confusing me with their service arrangements while i needed to use the car every day. It took a week to arrange for service. The car sat for a week at the dealership with no communication from tesla. Then they sent a laconic request to pay them $1,070 --- while i know my car, being 10 months old is under warranty. Mice ate a wire within the auto-pilot cables. Tesla claims this damage isn't covered by warranty! The damaged cables are in a compartment which is completely unprotected against mice or anything. It should have been protected with at least a metal mesh. I asked why isn't that compartment protected to prevent rats/mice from entering it; after all, 300+ million american garages have cars and mice co-located... Their answer: 'that's the auto-industry standard'. My reaction: "i did not buy my car from the auto-industry standard; i bought it from tesla (which completely deviates from the "industry standards!)" i am requesting tesla to issue a 'recall' for installing a metal mesh around the sensitive auto-pilot cabling compartment. Also, i am requesting a full refund of my expenses, plus compensation for the frustration and for the various troubles i had to go through. The no. 1 problem with tesla's supposed 'service' is that they obviously believe that tesla cars do not need any service. Here is their email to me from 10/15/20: "your tesla service invoice is ready for review. Please review and accept the tesla service invoice for your visit. Review and accept ". I cannot access that contents anymore. The email simply said accept this charge of $1,070 without explaining anything about the reason for the damage. Thank you, yair barniv

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
