Hey there,
got my Y about a month and a half ago. Had some issues, but was mostly good until I was going to drive it today. Heard a kind of grinding / whirring then a big thunk. It showed for about a second that rear drive motor was disabled, but still ok to drive. As soon as I finished reading it though it changed to a cycling of 3 or 4 different warnings. Don't remember word for word. They were something like electrical systems limited, power may be reduced, car may not restart service needed, and electrical systems starting. Weird that it didn't say anything about the motor after that, but have to assume something is wrong with the motor that maybe caused electrical problems?
Anyway from looking it's kind of hard to find experiences of Model Y's having these problems. Seem to find a ton about Model S's only. Seems I was just super unlucky and got a bathtub curve type failure. Not going to lie, it doesn't instill me with confidence that there was a catastrophic failure within 2 months of ownership though. The only other thing I had was the passenger wiper being broken from delivery that they kind of fixed, but later said I needed to make an appointment to get it replaced it was pressing against the frunk or whatever.
Has anybody here had similar problems? If so what was your experience like for timeline / hassle? Did they offer a loaner or any kind of accommodations like that or only Uber credits?
