I've had this happen twice, once in January then again today. Soc isn't low and it's not cold or hot out. Start driving off and the power meter drops to 64. I check the power distribution screen, there's no power to the front, same with Regen.

I get to my destination and after a while being there I go back to the truck, turn it on and the issue is gone.

Front contactor glitch.

Happened to me once in 46000kms.

Could be software related but check with your dealer as they have access to the background codes if you have connectivity turned on.

Thank you, I'll go to the dealership today to see if they can pull those. Yesterday wasn't an inconvenience, able to still drive it fine, unless it's bad to drive around with the motor not engaging. But on January it was definitely unsafe because I'm in the mountains of Idaho and there was a ton of snow out, driving around in red was sketchy

You posted back in September that you'd had reduced power messages many times since July of last year. When you went to the dealer what did they tell you at that time?

October or November they replaced the air dam actuators to resolve that powertrain error. It didn't resolve it. Then went back this year, they wanted to pull codes while the maintenance light is on. They found three codes, one of them being with the shifter. They replaced something in the shifter, I want to say solenoids, and I haven't had the error since 4/18
