My 90D got grazed in a parking lot, and spent 31 days in a Tesla-approved body shop for repairs. The day I dropped it off at the shop, I noticed a short time later (in the nearby car rental agency) that my iOS app could not connect to the vehicle; I called the shop and they explained that they always immediately disable remote access to prevent someone from causing a mishap (by opening the rear hatch at an inappropriate moment, for example).
When I picked my Model S up two evenings ago, I was startled when I first placed the vehicle into drive, as an energy display with an alarming yellow warning triangle appeared, unbidden, for a brief time at the right of the driver's console (image 01_Dash_warning.jpg). I put the car back into park and pulled up a full energy display on the MCU (image 02_energy_5mile.jpg shows the usage for the past 5 miles, summarizing most of the 6 miles it was driven while in the shop). I also displayed the energy usage for the past 30 miles, showing my usual energy usage pattern preceding the shop visit (image 03_energy_30mile.jpg). The next day I displayed an update for the 30 mile data (image 04_energy_next_day.jpg).
The huge spike in energy consumption shown in the 2 miles prior to my pickup could perhaps represent some totally benign artifact related to the service visit, but I'd feel happier if I had a good clear explanation. Obviously, I am hoping it does not represent some sort of abuse of the vehicle. Before taking it up with the shop next Monday, I thought I'd ask if anyone had seem something similar, or perhaps had a knowledgeable explanation. Please -- let's stick to well-founded information and avoid wild speculations in this thread. My thanks in advance for any useful thoughts.
