July 2015 Model S 85D. Rear drive motor replaced at 8,000 miles.
In January, with an outside temperature around -1 deg F (-18 C), I noticed a subtle hum at highway speed. When I slowed down to 30 mph in town, software disabled my rear drive motor. A mile later, when I was back home, the fault cleared. Two days later, when I started it up at the end of the work day (also around 0 deg F), the rear drive motor was disabled, and again, the fault cleared by the time I got home 1.5 miles later. Tesla replaced the rear drive motor, and since then, I've had no problems. I'm approaching 12,000 miles now.
