This problem first happened a few years ago and then went away on its own.
This time I was travelling back from the UK to the Netherlands and I was about 3 minutes from a Tesla Supercharger when I lost all power and P N R D display turned red. I was able to coast off the motorway onto the slip road but the motor would no longer respond.
I used road side assistance who looked at the logs but could only suggest I power off and wait atleast 5 minutes and then power back on. I tried that with them waiting for a couple of times with no success.
While waiting for the AA to agree that they couldn't fix it and therefore the car and I could be brought to a Tesla Service Centre I powered off the car. After a futher 5 minutes I tried again and this time it didn't trip to red when I pressed the gas pedal and we could proceed on our journey.
It was atleast an hour an half before the car would finally drive on without the P N R D going straight from white to red.
I am posting this experience to see if anyone has any ideas as to why this happened.
I am out of warranty and as the problem has gone away I can't see Tesla being able to find anything as I have travelled many kilometers since the problem occurred without any more issues.
I tried many Google searches for the problem but found nothing. Any ideas ?
