What owners wrote

The motor inverter for the rear motor failed while I was driving. The power cut out, and luckily I was able to drift over to the side of the road. On a highway, it would have been very dangerous. The dealer diagnosed the inverter issue, and said it needs to be replaced. The car has not been inspected by the manufacturer, the police, or insurance representatives. A warning message appeared the moment the power cut out. It said, "Check electric vehicle system."
