Recent recall announcement.

Only affects 2012-2018 model year vehicles. Apparently they used a different touchscreen on 2019 an up cars.
EDIT:
Tesla’s response to the recall. . .
“It is economically, if not technologically, infeasible to expect that such components can or should be designed to last the vehicle’s entire useful life,” Tesla said in the letter (replying to the recall)
