I felt some stuttering yesterday as the car regen braked. Then another stutter and red lights flashed with service warnings about the front motor. I had no power and drifted to the side of the road. I had to get out of the car for it to shut off and then restart, but the front engine came back alive and I drove the last half-mile home. This morning on the way to work, the same stuttering on regen braking and then front motor failure, but this time it was only white (as opposed to red) warning, and it let me drive after it automatically shut off the front, and carried on with just the rear, for the last mile to work.
Tesla picked it up this morning and just called to say it would likely be several days while they ordered a new front motor.
I only had about 3,800 miles on the car so far.
Has this happened to anyone else? Should I be worried about any permanent damage to other parts of the car that Tesla might not replace in this case?
Thanks.
