Same exactly description. But mine was a myp took delivery dec 2021. Same 3 items replaced. Car seems to feel slower than before. Not sure if I’m being paranoid hahaLooks like I’m also a new member of the Motor Failure Club. Have a 2022 MYLR; took delivery end of Dec. 2021. I was loving the car for nearly 2,500 miles until it died last week (Feb. 25) right when I tried shifting into reverse to back out of my garage.
I heard a loud thump come from the rear axle area and then received several alerts: Power reduced, Vehicle shutting down, Vehicle may not restart, Service is required… and lastly: Schedule service to replace 12 volt battery.
Roadside had it towed to area SC. They gave me a loaner and said they’d be in touch. I found out several days later that there are 3 items they plan to address: Replacing the rear drive unit/inverter and the 12 volt battery — and installing a pyrotechnic battery disconnect.
They ordered the parts and with likely shipping delays, they estimate the work might get finished in two weeks.
My other half and I aren’t thrilled with having a new car die after only two months. I’m hoping they tackle this major issue. I’m wondering if this a quality issue with the parts, assembly, technical design, bad luck — or all of the above?
There are threads here discussing MYP acceleration is affected by battery SOC, fwiw. (MYLR is not powerful enough to be similarly affected.)Same exactly description. But mine was a myp took delivery dec 2021. Same 3 items replaced. Car seems to feel slower than before. Not sure if I’m being paranoid haha
Probably worth clarifying: Mine is a late 2021 MYP, took delivery right at end-of-quarter 9-29-2021.Mine failed at 15000 miles on a bridge. Same warnings and power shutdown stuff. Supposedly “rear motor inverter failure”… Tesla Raleigh took around 2 weeks to replace. To give them credit, they provided an Enterprise rental during the repairs. Kind of unnerving wondering if it’ll happen again… very interested to hear if any have had a repeated failure.
NHTSA needs to knowI looked at every post and didn't see where anyone reported this to the NHTSA. Given the nature of these failures shouldn't they be reported?
Just go and enjoy. We took a 4,400 mile road trip when our car had only 450 miles on it.Is there a list of VIN’s and the mileage when these failures occurred. I just picked up our PMY two days ago and it’s sitting with 179 miles on it and we have a long road trip planned on Sept 15th. I figure we’ll have about 450 miles on it when we depart.
Actually it did limp out, after it showed the message, the car still let me move it for about 5 mins. Those options went away by the time the tow truck arrived and I tried to start the car to move in position.Given these cars have two electric motors, why can't the car still drive (maybe in limp/safe mode) to get you out of harm's way? No vehicle or family should get stranded like this. It's dangerous on many levels.
Surely there is an engineering solution to allow the vehicle to keep driving.
