Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction

The DBS system might not activate correctly during an emergency braking situation, reducing the effectiveness of braking support.

Battery degradation

Over time, the performance and range of the battery pack can degrade, leading to shorter driving ranges between charges.

Motor failure

Dual motors can sometimes face issues such as bearing wear or stator problems, which could lead to reduced performance or failure.

Software glitches

Being a high-tech vehicle, the Model S can experience software bugs that affect the operation of various systems, including the DBS.

Charging issues

Problems with charging equipment or the vehicle’s charging port can result in slow or failed charging attempts.

Suspension wear

The weight of the battery pack can cause accelerated wear on the suspension components, leading to handling and ride quality issues.

Firmware updates

Updates can sometimes introduce new bugs or temporarily disable certain features, including DBS and other safety systems.

Cooling system problems

The battery and motor cooling systems can experience leaks or pump failures, leading to overheating and reduced performance.
