I just got this message yesterday night and the car is on limp mode. Any suggestions?
How reliable are those cars? This is my first Tesla and I never seen this on a brand-new car.

Either your car is over a year old at this point (so not brand new), or you sold that car you posted you got a year ago and got a new one, so this is not your first Tesla.

New M3P Owner Questions and disappointment

Hello, I'm very excited that I'm going to pick up my M3P this Saturday but Im not very happy with the news I'm reading about. I have added the Enhanced Autopilot because I really liked the summon feature and I just discovered it is not available on 2013 models due to no...

As for what to do, if the car is actually a "paperweight" as you say it is, you call roadside assistance and have them tow it to Tesla. If, however, exiting the vehicle and re entering it worked, then you would make an appointment and take it to them at the time of your appointment.

This is the car I want to mean bought brand new and only 4000 miles.

I made the appointment but it is in 2 weeks. I need to drive the car daily. What do you recommend?

if it starts and drives, drive it. If it is a "paperweight" like you said it was, call roadside assistance and get it towed to Tesla.

You can always respond to your service request with the question.

This is what was wrong with the car. It may help others.
