2016 Model S 75D
I had really scary experience today evening. After charging, I tried to pull the car out of charger parking spot, I could not steer. Confused and checked under front wheel if anything was stuck. Nothing !. Then I tried to forcefully steer, I could, but it was very hard like rotating a farming machinery with manual ratchet. That too like stopping at every gear tooth.. turn 1 inch, push, stop, turn 1 inch.. push..
It has been 4 years since I set the driving mode to "Comfort", this happened all of a sudden, right after taking out of charging. Somehow, managed to reach home (< 2 miles) by local road. I was literally sweating (43F in San Jose now ! ) and got 50+ honks every single time I was taking a turn and blocking the traffic. It seemed 20mph+ was kind of less harder, not sure whether it was due to stiff hand holding my life.
Called roadside assistance, tried all the reset/power-recycle they wanted me to. Nothing helped.
They suggested to tow the car to Tesla Service center. Yet to be serviced, don't know the root cause, will updater after that.
"What if this had happened while on highway?", still shivering.. happy to be alive ..
Did anyone have any such experience?
