2014 Tesla Model S Engine problems

Motor suddenly failed after a required update while driving, nearly causing a crash with multiple commercial vehicles and pedestrians, leaving brake lights dangerously always on and alarm sounding, killed 12v as well.

This is regarding a 2014 Model S fully electric vehicle. Any reference to an 'engine' simply implies the motor. Accelerator pedal became unresponsive and abruptly lost drive power while going ~55mph on the highway. The PRND display on the display panel went red. Car was towed to the service center Immediately after this malfunction, I somehow cruised along towards the shoulder with just with brakes and hazard lights. Total loss of motor power caused vehicle to slow down and vehicles behind me had to slow down...

The original motor on Tesla Model S vehicles between 2012-2019 has a reputation of leaking coolant inside the drive train and therefore locking up the motor that stops all operations of the vehicle. This has already happened twice with an average life expectance of 40-60k miles. I was just informed that Tesla has finally created a version of this motor that prevents coolant leaks on the latest revision of their motor (Part# 1002633-00-U) and would like to see a recall with this long needed fix. I currently have a remanufactured motor that will end up locking up eventually and would like to get ahead of this if at all possible.

The rear motor (drive unit) has gone out on this car twice in the last four years. I purchased it after it was last repaired. It most recently went out on 08/04/2023. When it went out two days ago it had less than 30,000 miles on it. This car has a motor on both the front and rear axles, so while the vehichle was still moving forward, if it slowed down at all that would engage the regenerative braking. Once regenerative breaking was engaged, the rear drive unit would normal perform that function, but since it was...

Recently my drive unit has begin to fail. This is the second drive unit in the vehicle, approaching the 3rd. Then there is The issues with the doorhandles. The doorhandles when the sensor breaks or motor breaks can cause safety concerns related to doorhandles freely opening or inability to open. When the doorhandles motor defects the door handle cannot extend preventing access to any door in the car. When the door handles sensor fails, the doors will freely extend out words assuming someone is grabbing onto the...

Re: nhtsa action number: dp19005 - investigation subject : battery management software updates - vehicle had sudden loss of battery capacity and charging velocity after software update in may 2019. This has continued with a roughly 15% reduction in the kwh rating of the battery (published rating 85.0, Actual 71.65). I am disappointed with the reduction in the performance and usability of the car, but more concerned with the potential of an undisclosed defect or risk that I am am not aware of.

Tl* the contact owned a 2014 tesla model s. While the vehicle was parked in the garage charging, it caught fire and burned at the contact's residence. The fire department extinguished the fire and police and fire reports were filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a research center, but was not diagnosed because it was destroyed. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sent an investigator to inspect the vehicle. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 17,000.

After software update supercharging slowed by more than 50% and range on full charge dropped

Software updates by tesla have limited range usage by lowering the available voltage max capacity for charging. *Tt 'parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*Jb

P85d lost power on road, "pull over safely". With tesla's latest firmware updat e0.167 Pushed otu untested to all p85d cars, the car loses all power suddenly when driving. It leaves the drivers stranded in the middle of roads dangerously. Tesla is not issuing a recall, and is trying to suppress this and many many other quality and safety issues by limiting the information to its forums only, and sometimes removing those information to support its high quality image, and sustain its bubble stock valuation. ...
