Continue to press the brake pedal as you normally would, and do not "pump" (repeatedly press and release) the pedal as this will interrupt the function.
This alert will clear when your vehicle comes to a stop or you are no longer pressing the brake pedal. It may still be displayed for up to 5 seconds afterward.
When this assist function activates, you may feel the brake pedal pull away from your foot and notice a strong increase in brake pressure. You may also hear a pumping sound coming from the
brake hydraulic unit at the front of the vehicle. This will usually last for a few seconds, depending
on road surface and vehicle speed. This is completely normal and does not indicate any issue
with your vehicle.
Reduced braking performance is usually temporary, and can occur for a number of reasons
including high brake temperatures after heavy brake use, or driving in extremely cold or wet
conditions. It can also indicate that your brake pads or rotors have worn to the point that
normal replacement is needed.
If you continue to experience reduced braking performance which does not improve over time, please contact Tesla service at your convenience for a brake inspection.
For more information, see Hydraulic Fade Compensation on page 67.

Charging stopped - Power lost while charging
Check power source and charging equipment
Power has been lost during charging. This could result from the charging equipment losing
power from the source (for example, a wall outlet) or from an issue with the charging
equipment.
This alert is often accompanied by other alerts that can help you identify and troubleshoot the issue. Start by investigating any other displayed alerts that relate to charging issues.
Alternatively, you can check Mobile Connector or Wall Connector status lights to confirm power
to the device, and also refer to the product owner
