I was running some errands in town when at a light the car would not move. The gear selections all turned red and wouldn't go into gear. This had happened back in April of this year. I had to get it towed to the service center and a couple days later the rear drive unit was replaced.
So I kept trying to get back in gear but it wouldn't take. I had about 70% charge so I knew it wasn't because of no power. I turned off the a/c to see if that would help. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with it but I was finally able to get it back in gear. I took a route home that had no lights and that I didn't have to really stop, to see if I could make it back home two miles away. On my drive the gears kept turning red and I got every error notification possible. Things like, power reduced service is required, regenerative braking temporarily reduced, automatic emergency braking is disabled, traction control disabled, stability control disabled. I never fully stopped at stop signs and tried to coast as much as possible. I was able to make it home and into my driveway.
When I got home I did a hard reset, not because I thought it would do anything but just so I can tell roadside assistance that I did, in case they ask for it. I contacted roadside via the app and because of the holiday weekend, they weren't able to get anyone that felt comfortable towing the car. I told them that I could wait until Tuesday to contact them again for a tow to the service center that's about 3 miles away.
So my 2015 P85D with 48,399 miles, used vehicle warranty that expires November of this year, battery and drive unit warranty that expires in September of 2023, sits dead in the driveway waiting for a ride to the service station.
Ironically I have an appointment for September 7 to fix a couple other ongoing issues I've been having. The sunroof is getting replaced (don't get me started on that) one of the USB ports aren't working and the rear passenger handle at times extends too much that the door opens.
Any ideas what's causing the current issue now? Could it be the front drive unit this time? Or maybe the battery?
