Hello,
Without diving into every detail, it seems my recently acquired Model S is going "full shut down" at random times. Locked out, doesn't sense key fob or app etc. So far my only "fix" has been to keep a window cracked to "break in", pop the hood manually and literally just tap/flick the 12v positive line. Sometimes it takes more time, but this morning was the fastest yet, whereas yesterday I spent 10 minutes on my lunch break pushing on fuses and wiggling the wires before it popped on.
Audible click can be heard, then the car goes through a boot up sequence as if I had done a system reboot. Generally no problems after that... until there is a problem. Haven't had the issue happen at work once yet, and hasn't happened while I'm out and about running errands. So far only at my house (before and after connecting to wifi), and at my girlfriends house (also before and after connecting to wifi).
App doesn't really do anything other than indicate occasionally that it's connected it again. It may connect and update every couple hours, or the app may go over 24 hours without "seeing" the car. It'll prompt updates when connected, and so far the updates have been going through, but nothing has stuck to actually fix this issue yet.
Originally I thought it was a data connectivity issue as it never seems to have great service (usually connects after driving for a bit, but almost never more than 1 bar. Wifi works fine/mobile hotspot). Now I'm leaning more towards "something" that's causing it to full power down where it's not even passively looking for a signal (phone, key fob, remote access from Roadside Assistance etc).
