Hey guys, first post and long time Tesla fan. Only recently living the dream but I've ran in to something a bit scary.
Today I was making a right turn, one I do quite frequently but this time, about half way through the turn I lost almost all drive power. The gear indicators turned red, and the battery power output meter (if that's its name) had yellow lines at the low and high end of the meter. The car was still "on" and I managed to dredge at a few mph in to the next parking lot which was a Walgreens. I parked there for about a minute and it seemed normal so I backed out and again tried to get home. I was met with practically the same scenario: right turn, loss of power, only this time I was about to have to turn down a regular road with my panic lights on, when seemingly it changed its mind and the power came back before getting in to the road. While I would say a good chunk of people wouldn't have the courage to see if their car would be able to get them home in this case, I tried, and I thankfully succeeded.
But of course I am now concerned. It's a 2020 Performance. Any ideas?
