Tesla Model S: Electrical system is unable to support all features
Shutting down features to conserve energy
The electrical system cannot support all vehicle features. Your vehicle is shutting down nonessential features to preserve energy for essential functions.
If you are driving when this alert is present, it is possible your vehicle may shut down unexpectedly. It is also possible that your vehicle will not restart once parked.
Nonessential features may be unavailable, including seat heaters, cabin climate control, and in-vehicle entertainment. This is expected behavior intended to help your vehicle maintain adequate electrical power for essential functions, including the ability to operate headlights, windows and doors, hazard lights, and the front trunk (frunk).
It is possible your vehicle may lose all electrical power. If this occurs, you can still use the manual door releases to exit the vehicle if necessary. For more information, see Opening Doors from the Interior.
This alert may be present due to various vehicle conditions. For more information and further recommended actions, check for other active vehicle alerts.

You may notice that some nonessential features are not available. This is expected behavior due to your vehicle preserving energy for essential functions.
It is recommended that you eliminate or reduce your use of any nonessential features. This can help your vehicle maintain adequate electrical power for essential functions other than driving, until it can be serviced.
If this alert remains present, it is recommended that you schedule service immediately. Without service, your vehicle may not drive, may shut down unexpectedly, or may not restart.
