    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    As this review drags on, all I have is the list of the damage and the one recall they want to also take care. They have also put in there the “Retrofit Hydraulic Control Unit Wake-Up Wire.” This seems to be the hardest piece of equipment to find any information about, but I’m starting to wonder...

    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    Car is still under review at this time. Review can take another 30-60 days is what they have told me. I haven’t ghosted it, there is just little to update at this time. It is a real event and damaging Tesla isn’t my goal. Especially since this is my third Tesla.

    Are you able to break it down with a little more explanation of what it does?

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Hi! So, this is literally the hardest thing to find any information about. I have had one SC tech confirm it is tied into the brake systems. Can anyone confirm or elaborate more?

    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    Yeah, I’m recognizing that now. She had the pedal to the floor. With only a clicking sound as a result.

    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    All that they have said so far is that they are still reviewing everything and they will follow up with me on Monday. Regarding the seatbelt, it was latched. However, the belt itself did not lock tight from the impact or slamming the break pedal to the floor.

    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    Well isn't that a lucky experience. All that I know so far is that they said the engineers for the car itself and then specifically for the brakes were already involved by the next morning when I went to get the loaner.

    For your issue, how long did it take? What does this process look like?

    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    The car was immaculate besides any small rock chips on my PPF and the door handles still needing alignment for the "due bill" items. I am hoping they can resolve this fairly quickly while fixing whatever the problem is so that it doesn't occur to anyone else or at all for that matter. However...

    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    It is definitely interesting. She grew up driving a huge truck with older brakes. So I'm going to still stick with that she had it to the floor trying to stop the car. Especially after the first time it happened. If this were to be the problem, is it the fault of Tesla? The parts specific...

    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    My wife said she pushed the pedal literally to floor and all that happened was a clicking sound. Do you make anything of that? This is our third current Tesla, so we're pretty familiar with some of the weird stuff that has or can happen with a Tesla. However, I have never experienced this...

    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    The car's charge was full that morning. So at the time it's charge should have been about 360 and maybe even above 370 when she picked it up from my work. Regenerative braking would have been reduced either way. However. there was an error code for something regarding regenerative braking not...

    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    My biggest concern with it was the seatbelt didn’t lock at the same time. My wife is pregnant as well, so the concern is higher. However, my bottom line is that this doesn’t happen to someone else. I’m hoping that Tesla can resolve it soon, but I have no idea at the moment. Has anyone else...

    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    The first SC speculated it being the recall for the Retrofit of the Wake-Up Wire. After talking to them I then went to my normal SC in town. After hearing what happened and me being able to provide the video, they wanted the car towed to them. Tesla Roadside had it towed in that night, and the...

    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    The cars speed was at roughly 20-30 mph. Brake was pushed to the floor only to receive a clicking noise. We live down the street where the second bake failure happened, she was just trying to get the car there at that point. Confident it isn’t a yoke issue at this point, both car and user wise.

    2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds.

    So far, I haven't been able to find anything yet anywhere regarding this. Problem: 2021 Model S Plaid Brake Failure - At lower speeds. My wife was driving the Plaid home for me and on a left turn, the brakes failed causing a collision with a curb and sidewalk in a neighborhood. After going...
