While driving at full highway speed, I received "Stop safely now" followed by an immediate, complete loss of throttle -turtle/limp mode, with battery indicator and service car indicator. It seemed like the motor turned off completely. No, this was not because I ran out of charge (see photo) but instead some kind of other major failure. I was lucky to get from the left lane to an off-ramp before my momentum ran out on a very busy one lane highway. I was able to pull over on a rocky dirt shoulder area. Tried to get towed but the dealer closed at 7pm and tow would be there after 7pm.

Now I'm anticipating the dealer will do a software flash or something & tell me it's fixed; like the 1 st time this happened on May 24th. I don’t feel comfortable driving this car anymore. I never experienced this with my Tesla MS.
