I've seen this dotted line show up a few times on the energy display. Can't figure out what causes it or what it means. Does anyone know? Thx.
 
Page 46 in the Model X manual under instrument panel - driving:
  1. On the Energy graph, dashed lines appear on the power meter if Model X is limiting power. The dashed lines appear on the top portion (energy being used) when power available for acceleration is being limited, and on the bottom portion (energy being gained) when power that can be gained by regenerative braking is limited. Model X limits power for many reasons. Here are just a few examples:

  • Acceleration may be limited when the Battery is reaching a low state of charge or if the powertrain is hot.
  • Both acceleration and regenerative braking may be limited when the ambient temperature is either very high or very low.
  • Regenerative braking may be limited when the Battery is fully charged.
