Got in my Model 3 this morning and was greeted by 5 warnings on the screen and no way to shift the car out of park.

The car and touchscreen turn on but otherwise no response.

Powered car down with no results.

Currently on the phone with roadside to see if they can help address- will post updates.

for most that have had these message come up (me included), a car power down will reset them. My local service guy explained these often come up when one system does not power on in the proper order upon you entering the car. So for instance, a part of the traction control system is slow to wake and all the other systems throw the errors because it isn't recognizing the traction system online.
I powered down the car (from the service menu, not the 2 button reset) and let it sit for an hour (while I did my errand), and when it came back on all were good and haven't seen them since.

(to add... In my case, the messages came up when leaving work mid-day to go across the city. It didn't specifically say I couldn't drive, so I went anyway. it was an eyeopener what all traction control does on a metal deck bridge! When I got across town, I did the power down and all was good following)

Thanks for sharing! While I was on the phone with service we powered down (but not for an hour but a few minutes) and it still didn't remedy. The folks I spoke with at Tesla Roadside were perplexed as well so they're sending a tech from the service center. They seem to think it's going to have to go into the service center and get worked on - would love that to NOT be the case.

Also - the warnings just say "Proceed with Caution" however I can't even get the car into gear - its like the gear stalks and scroll buttons aren't working. Wiper blades won't come on, volume doesn't change, etc.

Very odd but hopefully easily addressed by service.

the other cause behind errors like this I've seen others report is an issue with the 12v battery. So maybe that is the case with yours. Overall, should be an easy fix, but may mean a tow to the service center to have them resolve it.

I received an update on my car - it was a loose connector in the steering column control module that caused the issues. They re-seated the connector.

Simple enough?

The only thing I can think that might have caused this was I adjusted the steering wheel all the way out (so closer to driver) so maybe the connector disconnected with that adjustment? But seems like if they allow you to adjust the steering wheel as much as you can (up, down, forward, backward) the connectors wouldn't loosen or disconnect that easily.

Just curious if anyone else has run into trouble adjusting the steering wheel.

thanks!
