Model 3 - Electrical System Power Reduced

[BodBaz]

I picked up my new M3 RWD this morning and by the time I got home having driven less than 20 miles (26 miles total mileage) had the following alert;

VCFRONT_a180 Electrical sytem power reduced
vehicle may shut down unexpecedly.

I logged a service request via the app with Tesla and got an appointment for between 12.00 and 16.00 today but no one showed up and heard nothing. I have message them as well but again have heard nothing. I was therefore wondering if anyone has had a similar alert and whether or not the car is safe to drive.

Quick google shows it might be 12 volt. Sitting in the car playing with fart mode & games might help as it charges the 12 volt. Or if it's something else, it won't. Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will come along, but plenty of google results from this forum and elsewhere.

12 volt generally more of a problem than high-voltage battery.

Sounds like a dodgy lithium 12V shown up in the cold weather. I wouldnt drive a car with a vehicle may shut down message, that could be bad.
Just harass them till you get a proper response.
