Most common problems:

Overheating

The 2015 Tesla Model S, especially with the dual motor setup, can sometimes experience overheating issues, particularly under heavy load or high-speed conditions. This can be due to cooling system inefficiencies or coolant leaks.

Motor failure

In some cases, the induction motors in the dual motor setup may fail prematurely due to internal component wear or manufacturing defects.

Battery degradation

The high-voltage battery that supplies power to the induction motors can degrade over time, reducing the overall performance and range of the vehicle.

Inverter malfunction

The inverter, which converts DC power from the battery to AC power for the motors, can sometimes malfunction, leading to reduced or erratic motor performance.

Software glitches

The Model S relies heavily on software for motor control and vehicle operation. Software bugs or glitches can lead to performance issues or improper motor operation.

Bearing wear

Bearings within the motors can wear out over time, leading to increased noise, vibration, and reduced efficiency.

Regenerative braking issues

Problems with the regenerative braking system, which uses the motors to slow the car and recharge the battery, can affect overall braking performance and energy recovery.
