Fourth Day of Ownership 48v System Issue

[Deplorean]

Ugh. Less than 2000 miles and I'm already having to call roadside assistance. First time ever left stranded by a tesla.

That's unfortunate, hopefully they fix it quickly for you.

So far so good. Road side assistance was very helpful. My CT was towed to the local SC in Jacksonville. Sentry activity makes me think they are already looking at it. I will update this thread with new info as I get it. Hopefully it's only a faulty 48v battery.

Sorry to hear that but congrats on the CT! Best vehicle I’ve ever owned!

Thanks! I absolutely love the car despite this incident! My biggest fear is they will have to keep my car through the weekend. I wanted to take it to a local cars and coffee!

The red LV cable connector needs to be closed or locked via the black handle. Thats VCLEFT_a479.

Sometimes they keep this connector open on pre-delivery CT's. Its the equivalent to removing the 12v battery cables on all other tesla models. They forgot to close it. Closing the clip to the 48v battery is a 2-step process. Sometimes they only perform step 1 and then on delivery day - they perform step 2.

Step 1.

Step 2.

Strange to me is that this didn't happen on the first bump that you hit after delivery - and that you were able to drive for 4 days. You should have gotten this alert at the curb driving away from the service center. Thats weird.

Black handle up is the unlocked position
This is the locking procedure

It should have the black lever down.

You are incredibly informed.

If they have to keep it, then tell them you have been looking forward to a cars and coffee event, and ask for a loaner CT.

Yeah, I tried. They gave me a model 3. It's not a bad car, but it's not a Cybertruck.
