Wrapping up this thread with an update. I picked up the car from service yesterday so it was in service a little over 2 weeks. They were able to measure out of spec values (intermittent interlock loop open) and find the root cause. A pin in connector x098 which connects to the main battery...

This car will be my wife's car and she is less forgiving than I am. I nudged her towards this over a trusty new Accord to replace her old 2004 Accord. As for the service estimate, it showed up quickly and I'm wondering if it is a worst case scenario based on the potential highest lead time...

I called sales and he said that service would have to answer to that but he also suggested looking at lemon laws. I'm in NC and it looks like if the car is out of service for 20 days the lemon laws could apply if I'm reading it right.

I have a less than 2 week old Model 3 RWD. Yesterday I plugged the car into the Tesla wall connector in my garage and when the charging got to about 86%, which was about 1.5 hours of charging, it stopped charging. I went to the car and the screen was telling me the battery is low and it is...
