I was just driving my kid to an appointment and I noticed that my power is severely limited but there wasn’t an error like there was when the hvbjb failed. Also, I’m at 67% charge but I hit that every day after work and this is the first time I’ve seen that. Is there an impending failure?

Edit: and I should add that this is regular driving in stop and go traffic so no hard acceleration and reasonable temperatures of about 75 degrees.

Probably a thermal event. Mine looks like that when I've recently been driving over 80. It should have gone away relatively quickly. You just don't want it looking like this: ??

Unfortunately I get that same type of indication after I have been driving around a bit at -30F.

As the two above have stated, could be hot, could be cold. I’ll add, could be just a glitch. I’ve had these show a couple times for no reason at all. Turned the car off and back on and they went away. Gotta love driving a computer. Never know when the bios is going to load wrong.

Thanks for the answers, everyone. It seems to have just been a glitch because it was gone when I restarted the car. After the events of earlier this year, I don’t trust this car at all.
