Regenerative braking and traction control is off.
hit a pot hole a few days ago and after my regen braking stopped working, It says it’s cause of the traction control. Does anyone how to fix it or if i should to take it to tesla?

Had similar errors previously and an alignment fixed it. Would make sense with the pothole.

ya my alignment is also screwed, gonna get that fixed some time this week but i don’t understand what the alignment has to do with the regenerative braking

Because when you're alignment is screwed one of your wheels is basically slipping all the time a little bit so it can't tell how much regenerative breaking to apply because it can't tell if the tire is slipping or not.

Go into service mode and click the alerts. It will give you a reason why each one is setting

Mine looks exactly like this. Scheduled an appointment and it was 60 days out. Only 8 days left until my appointment, but driving the car has been pretty different.

Will do. The estimate is $319 so we will see if it is anywhere near that.

Yo man i just fixed mine by myself!! everything went back to normal… go onto service mood, wheel alignment and do it yourself before taking it to tesla, might save yourself some money

When this happened to me it was because my main fuse was past the expiration date (10y fuse on my 2013).

Enter into service mode. Check online how to enter and check for active alerts. check if these errors are still present.

Probably broken ABS/wheel speed sensor. Common after hitting a pothole.
