"Power Limited. OK to Drive" and "Power Reduced. Exiting and re-entering the vehicle may restore operation" after Supercharging

[Tedkidd]

I'm getting "Power Limited. OK to Drive" and "Power Reduced. Exiting and re-entering the vehicle may restore operation" after Supercharging.

Usually it limits speed to 65-70, last time it limited to below 60, and throttle behaves like full turtle on my Gem, Smart, Bolt, and prior SR Y when at the bottom of the pack.

It happened on the trip home from picking the car up, then all my trips haven't required supercharging until last week, and it happened every time I supercharged, usually twice.

I suspect cooling isn't working properly.

The last time I supercharged for only a few minutes, and cranked the heat all the way up, and it didn't happen until 30 minutes after leaving.

Taking car in Wednesday.

You just gave the answer I was going to give

Did you get an answer or fix. I’m taking my car in for this issue for the third time. First time they said coolant, second they said couldn’t recreate, will see what they say for this time

Yeah, what happened on Wednesday?

They said air bubble, and purged the system. Hopefully that fixed it.
Only supercharge on trips so I don't know.

Is your issue resolved... our charging at home keeps getting interrupted, took vehicle for service last weekend, they said air bubble, said they couldn't recreate charging issue but could tell from diagnostics that it was with the car, and not externally (ie our charging from house). Drove away .. and charging interrupted has continued to happen this past week. Today, I get the messages about reduced speed limit, reduced power, ok to drive, book service etc. This was not after supercharging, just regular charging in my house.

 

[Tedkidd]

No.
They changed the octovalve, but I'm on a trip right now and it happened again twice.

If I have a 2018 model 3 performance and driven about 50K miles would this problem be covered under warranty? If not how much is it? I'm having the same issue on my screen.

 

[Tedkidd]

Still in the shop (since 12/7). I'm suspecting it'll get a new rear inverter/motor, or a new battery pack. Just WAGuessing

The screen is much smaller concern, but will update on both issues when I know more.

 

[Tedkidd]

Replaced rear drive inverter and heat exchanger.
Fingers crossed. Supercharging is super-infrequent for us, buffalo and syracuse don't require it.
I guess next couple of trips will tell.

Charge screen error is now a known issue, "software fix currently under development"

Did they completely fixed the issue?

I have the same issue. Is this covered under warranty?

I have the same issue. Was this covered under warranty?

 

[Tedkidd]

Yes, I believe all model Y's below 48,000 miles are still under warranty

This just happened to us yesterday on a road trip to BC from Calgary, AB, after a supercharging session to 100% so I could see a full charging curve from 18% to 100%. Tried the exit and re-entry twice yesterday to no effect and top speed kept being limited lower & lower, not fun, and super stressful TBH. It didn’t happen today driving around the Shuswap in BC but only drove about 76km (48mi) city/highway, but suspect we only see this again on our return trip next week. No response to my service request yet either. Will try a supercharger session to 90% this week to see if that causes it to happen again, and also letting it sit for 10 minutes before driving if the error pops up. Not a fun thing to experience on a road trip.

I've had no problem since they changed the inverter

I got this error once last week after supercharging in very cold conditions on my trip up into Canada during a snow storm. The supercharger in Plattsburg, NY was not working and several stalls kept resetting until I found one that worked. Once I finished supercharging, and started driving I kept getting this message. And the message kept getting worse and worse, with the speed limited more and more. It started at 70 and ended limiting around 55mph. I charged and left the car the next day and the error did not appear again.

But I do notice then when I finish supercharging, every time, I see a red light LED in the charging port. No error message, no flashing, nothing just a SOLID red light when I disconnect after I finish a normal supercharging session.

Do I need to take the car in to the SC? Or is this expected?
