A young Chinese girl discovered a glitch in a Tesla car’s touchscreen. While trying to draw, her previous strokes kept disappearing. Unfazed, she took matters into her own hands and flagged the issue with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, asking him to “fix” the glitch on the car’s screen. Her adorable request caught the billionaire’s attention, and he even responded to it.

“Molly decided to report an important bug to Mr Musk,” wrote X handle @DriveGreen80167 while tagging Elon Musk. Alongside, the handle shared a video where the girl flagged the bug.

“Hello, Mr Musk. I am Molly from China. I have a question about your car. When I draw a picture, sometimes, it will disappear. Like this,” she said in the video as she drew new strokes on the screen, and the ones they overlapped disappeared.

She added, “You see it? So, can you fix this? Thank you.”
