Greetings from Tampa Bay
My wife and I finally took delivery of our Model 3 on February 10th at our local Service Center in Tampa and boy were we excited. The car has everything, looks, functionality, and it even fits our 6 month olds car seat so well I'm not crunched for room in either the driver or passenger seat and I'm 6'2". We drove it to dinner and decided we'd take the 3 for a real drive Sunday to test it properly. We drove to Orlando to see our friends and visit Disney World, no issues, even got front row EV parking without having to charge, and had dinner.
Here's where things go off the rails
On our way back to their apartment the car starts flashing multiple cautions and warnings like "Emergency Braking Not Available" "Exiting and Reentering the Car May Fix Problem" and "Low Power' even though it had plenty of battery. We stopped at a light and it refused to budge, so we placed it in Park and then Drive and it responded. Luckily their place was right around the corner, we parked it and called Tesla Support. Bryan helped us reboot the car but nothing seemed to get it out of its funk. I got in and drove around the lot with him on the phone and everything miraculously cleared up, no problems. We were able to make it home and had an appointment with Tesla to replace the 12V battery in it.
All of Monday just using it around town, no problems. Responsive, everything worked, except the FM radio but I can live without that. Tesla replaced the battery and we took possession once again.
Tuesday my wife drove it to St. Pete, where she works, and reported no issues on the way there and going to lunch. 5pm I get a call, the 3 wont start, no AC, and were getting the same warnings and the screen is flashing every alarm across the top and even saying "DO NOT DRIVE" On the Phone with Tesla Support again and this time they call a Lyft for her and summon a Tow Truck to haul it back to the SC and it's been there ever since.
No one can seem to replicate the issues we've had, I haven't even seen anything remotely similar on here or the official Tesla Forum. There's a YouTube Video of something like our issue but still not checking the same boxes. Diag after Diag and no reason behind it.
Has ANYONE had similar issues?
