Hi folks,
I drove my car yesterday in and out of work as usual, all fine. Then this morning I get in to drive to work and the brake pedal is very soft indeed, as I press it to shift into drive. The pedal goes down way more than usual.
I start driving, cautiously, but it's much the same scenario - brake pedal going down much further than usual and no firmness to it at all, very mushy indeed, almost no brakes, though at the very bottom of the pedal they do work, to a degree.
I limp on to work, as it's only a short distance and I mostly use regen anyway, and notice that the brake pedal doesn't return after being pressed, until I touch back on the throttle.
Called Tesla when I got into work and they told me to do a soft reset (no difference) and then told me to turn the car off for 10 minutes and sit inside, then after 10 minutes try again... it initially felt firm, but 2nd press and it went back to mush.
I can't see any fluid inside the wheels to indicate a leak at any of the calipers and I checked the brake fluid reservoir, but it looks to be plenty full and no visible leaks at that end, either.
I've now been sat on hold for the customer service specialist for over 35 minutes... my local SC told me to ring the emergency support and they told me to speak to a specialist... so I've spent half the day on hold with Tesla. Must be a lot of issues that people are having...
Anybody else had a similar issue? My car is a M3P.
