Wondering if anyone has seen this issue before...
My 2014 has twice experienced poor acceleration with the attending "Check EV System" error while taking off from a stop sign/light. Both times I had driven the car a short distance and parked for a few minutes (while picking up a friend). On power up, all systems were good to go but the car accelerated VERY slowly....pedal all the way to the floor and crawled up to 6 MPH in about 15 seconds. Top speed of around 35 MPH after 30 seconds. After powering down vehicle and powering up again, the problem disappeared. Battery was just replaced two weeks ago by Toyota for random "non-ready state" on power up.
Toyota dealer has had the car for three days trying to troubleshoot to no avail. They say there are no diagnostics on either the Toyota or Tesla side to explain what happened. From my review of the forums, perhaps it's a bad speed sensor? I've seen some posts on "no acceleration" but can't find anyone with this poor acceleration issue.
Anyone have some ideas? At this point, I'm hesitant to drive the car at all for safety reasons.
Thanks.
