What did you do, when on 6th of October, your car had short circuit?
1) How did you know it had it?
2) Did they change/fix anything at your service?

1) The revs started spiking, high voltage warning, the check engine light flashed red, screen said to immediately pull over. Which I did. Called the dealer. They told me to drive it in, which in retrospect might not have been the best plan.
2) they did nothing but tell me it was a high voltage battery fault and told me to keep it in hybrid mode. Definitely sheepish and apologetic... nothing they could do.
It’s definitely charging from the regen, I have a Tesla In the fleet too, not sure if the BMW battery is the same, but as I understand it it’s pretty unlikely that without pulling the battery they’d know where the short circuit was happening, so even the little charge it’s taking could cause it to happen again. Hopefully I’m wrong.
