Why anyone would go to an IKEA over the weekend during a global pandemic is a different terrible story.
With this story our Dec 2018 Model 3 Dual Motor will not go into drive, reverse, anything. Contact service and try and hard reset the car. Doesn't work. Get some error messages about the 12V battery and the car loses all power.
Service sends a tow truck who has to use a battery to hot wire the frunk open, hot wire the 12V, still won't go into drive and tows the car to a service station - luckily close by in Berkeley.
Tech is saying it's an MCU issue. I'm scratching my head on how a 2 year old car with less than 20K miles has become a 2 ton paperweight.
Do MCU issues really make the entire car un-driveable?
Any things I should watch out for in the repair and explanation of the fix?
If i've had this issue once should I expect to see something similar again?
Especially bummed as I just put some ridiculous wheels on the car.
many thanks,
