While charging the vehicle at a reduced rate (30 amps out of a 40 amp maximum) there was a thermal event in the outlet box that the Mobile Charger Connect was plugged into. There were no witnesses to the event, but it was later noticed that the wall around the outlet was blackened and one prong of the plug had melted the housing of the plug along with the receptacle.
On 4/18/2021 approxamtely 8:25pm. While driving at approxamately 65 MPH on a los angeles freeway a red error message popped up that read "motor contol error stop vehicle in a safe place" the car stopped abruptly on the freeway. I wasnt able to pull over to safety. All of the lights were still on, on the instument control, the car still appeared to be functional. However, when the car came to a stop, (in the middle of a moderaltely busy freeway) it went into park and would not allow me to put it into drive.
