Ok, folks. Here is another input, perhap related, perhaps not. We are in the midst of our first road trip in our new sig perf, picked-up in Vancouver Thursday am. We are half way on our outbound 450 mile leg.
Last night the car reported the available 4.1 update, but having seen this thread. I deferred it. So we are still running 4.0, but the update module has at least "seen" 4.1. After this, I charged for ten hours on a Blink charger overnight.
About 20 miles before our last intended outbound charge stop, we got a cascade of three warning alerts. The first said "Car needs service: May not restart", then a few minutes later, we got "Car needs service: Pull over safely now", then shortly after, the same message FlasherZ reported: " Car needs Service: Unable to charge".
We called Tesla Service right away, while still driving, and got "Andrew". He said they would pull the logs remotely while we drove, and asked if the car was behaving differently at all. I said no, and he indicated we could continue the few miles to the planned charge stop. He conferred with others briefly, and then said he would call back. He has not yet.
We parked the car at the charge location, and I tried to see if it would charge on a Roadster HPC (with a borrowed cable [thanks ChadS]). It showed a red port, on did nothing-- no further messages. Shortly after, my wife reported both screens went black, and could not be awakened. I unplugged, and got in. I tried rebooting the screens, unlocking the car, fastening the seatbelt, getting up and then sitting down again-- nothing! The 12V power seems still intact. The doors still open and close, handles and windows work, and I inadvertently triggered the alarm. But the car is otherwise deader than a door nail. Yikes!
I will try to contact Tesla again ASAP of course, but if someone could PM me the full reboot instruction, that might help at least get the car talking to them again.
Patience and calm, patience and calm. That is what I am working on here! :crying:
