Power failure? Car won’t go into drive, it seems power related

My car had a series of error messages today and is no longer driveable. Has anyone else experienced this?

It appears you have a major failure. Time to contact service for sure.


 
Howdy! Hmm. Similar but different than mine. I was unable to charge the car but able to drive the car. It's probably a high voltage (HV ) battery issue.

For me they took their sweet time so I recommend getting in today or tomorrow. If they say no or you can't contact them call roadside assistance.
 
Hey everyone, first off I love this community. I’m a relatively new owner of my M3P (6 months) and have enjoyed how supportive everyone is despite most of us being strangers. Thank you for the responses @Sophias_dad @theocguy @everydaychris

Here’s the series of events of my dilemma:

I’ve had the message of “Press brake pedal for 30 seconds to drive” appear for about a month upon start up. I have noticed the car being a tad slower to boot up, since I bought it, but it’s intermittent. The screen would sometimes take 10 seconds to load upon entry.

Yesterday, while driving it normally I received the message of “Power Reduced - OK to drive, Front motor temporarily disabled”. Then, after parking it, the car just would not go into Drive. I got roadside service pretty instantly so that was nice, and the car’s in the service center now.

I do have a headlight led mod connected to the 12V battery, but I think that’s entirely separate. Even the Tesla service center l technician took a look and while frowned upon the led attachment, they said the diagnostics wasn’t showing the issue was because of the 12V.

I suspect it’s the HV battery as well. If anyone hears of other similar error messages- please let me know!

Did you bring your car to service center to check it out?
 
Got the car back! It's a reconditioned battery so we'll see how range is but all together since getting the parts it took 3 days. But my car was unable to charge for 12 days before
Thanks for the update. Ouch - reconditioned battery :( did they said what is the condition of this "reconditioned" battery? like the battery capacity is x% from the brand new one?
