    Car may not restart after software upgrade to 2019.32.12.7

    When the battery management system detects a problem in the cooling or heating system for the battery, that is the message it sends out. It gets serious and will shut the car down.

    "Air Conditioning Reduced" message

    Hope you made it home. BMS shuts down the car if the battery gets too hot.

    Experience at the Dublin CA SC today

    The Seaside Service Center treats me exactly the same for the past two years. Some one greets me by name as I get out of the car. Makes for a nice experience.

    How dangerous is it to drive with low tread depth to Lake Tahoe?

    That is a good call. I love the pilot sports on my model S. Smooth running, great handling!
