Filed with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the electrical system. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.

When the car is turned on the speedometer display is blank. Further, the indicators of the car does not function as well. HVAC and info entertainment display worked as expected
Electrical System Sep 13, 2024 NHTSA owner report
I went out from my house and got in my vehicle, turned it on, and the instrument cluster screen was not working. I turned off the car and turned it back on and the screen was still not working; I did not have any way to display my speed on the dash.
Electrical System Sep 12, 2024 NHTSA owner report
Main display is black. Unable to see speedometer, battery status, turning signals, etc. Car is 72% charged but display will not turn on. It appears to be happening to several EV9 in these past weeks. Possible software update issues
Electrical System Sep 10, 2024 NHTSA owner report
The screen directly in front of the driver stops displaying all information except the gear selection part of the screen and Auto Hold displays. No speedometer or anything. This has happened to us twice now since purchasing the vehicle in March. The dealership can't reproduce it so they can't diagnosis the problem to solve it.

For the second time in a month when we went to drive the speedometer display did not appear
