2024 Model S — “Power limited / Vehicle may not restart” warning
I have a 2024 Model S that I bought new in April 2024. Yesterday I suddenly got these two warnings:
- “Power limited – OK to drive. Vehicle may not restart after this drive.”
- “Acceleration and top speed reduced. Performance may be restored on next drive.”
I’ve attached photos of both warnings.
From what I’ve been able to find, the first warning may indicate an isolation problem somewhere in the high-voltage system, but I’m curious whether anyone here has experienced this on a relatively new Model S.
If you’ve had these same warnings, what did Tesla ultimately diagnose? Was it something in the battery pack itself, or another high-voltage component? And did Tesla repair the car or replace the battery?
Tesla had it towed into their service center early this morning, but won't even be able to give me a diagnosis until tomorrow... and no loaners are available either :-(
The car is still under warranty, so I’m less concerned about the cost than I am about understanding how serious this is and what I should expect from Tesla service.
Thanks for any firsthand experiences.
