Model 3-long range--Last Monday we went to an evening concert in my Model 3. When we left at 11:15PM, I backed out of my parking spot and by accident nudged the gear shift from reverse to neutral while the car was still rolling. This caused the software to "freak out" (service tech's words) and to put a message on the screen saying pull over immediately the car will now shut down. (or words to that effect) I tried to go back into the parking space so that people behind me could leave, but the car would not move--PERIOD. After helping everyone behind me get going, I sent in a roadside assistance request. I still could not shift into forward or reverse. I tried a "soft reboot" (holding in the two "thumb wheels" on the steering wheel)twice, The software rebooted but that didn't help. Then I tried the "hard reboot"--holding down the brake pedal while holding down the two thumb wheels. The car rebooted, but that didn't help. So I tried the "hard reboot" again, and the error message cleared!!!! I drove home carefully and at a reduced speed. Made it home without incident. The next day (Tuesday) I took the car into service. I got the car back today and was told by the service manager that there really was nothing wrong with the car. The car didn't have a programmed response for the situation of backing up and shifting gears while still rolling, so it threw up its diodes and gave the scary message. He also told me that an enhancement request had been placed to update the software to handle this situation.
I would suggest not trying to see if your software has this bug, ('cause it probably does) as the entire thing seems sketchy to me.
My first Tesla glitch.
