It started in the car wash - I stopped, switched to neutral, then was commanded by the attendant to move a couple of inches forward, so I shifted to "D", and immediately got "1 pedal drive fault" and "Service Vehicle Soon" right after that. One pedal switch on the screen was disabled, and when I needed to leave the car wash, the car didn't accelerate, the top speed was probably around 3 mph. I stopped at the nearest parking and restarted the car - it showed the "Service vehicle soon" message and the wrench icon again, but 1 pedal drive became available (and auto-selected after restart) and the car accelerated normally.

When I came home, I checked the error codes - there were a lot, and I cleared them in the Car Scanner. Restarted the car again, got the SVS and a wrench, checked the codes - there are still a few:

Now question - does it look like a software glitch or a real problem? Can I safely drive the car?

Waited a couple of hours and started the car - no message/wrench! But the car scanner still showed the same errors. Cleared it again and drove the car a little, checked the codes again - all gone.

So far so good.

I have experienced the same error after quickly shifting from R to D / back and forth. I was unable to move the shift selector. I powered off for several minutes and was able to move - but still had the error. Next - powered off for an hour. All errors gone and have not returned. My conclusion - do not shift from D to R (back and forth) over a short period of time. This also happened one time before this one. Not sure if this is an actual bug or failure - or just a design issue. I have not spoken with the dealer yet.
