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. More details here in this thread. Hope they don't remove the entire thread. Http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/43075-p85d-lost-power-on-road-pull-over-safely -- was heading down a 45 MPH road at about 57. Had the cruise set. No cars in front. Was taking a very slight curve in the road and the cruise disengaged by itself. No errors or anything, just as if I had tapped the brake or something. Hmm... So I resumed it and it went back to work. Less than half a mile later I disengaged cruise to regen to a stop to make a left at a light. A couple of seconds into that and I got this dreaded message: "car needs service; pull over safely".
