Would you believe another new owner has raised a similar issue, ie a serious warning, which after a short period switched off and locked , the problem dematerialises. I am sorry to say that though not common, it does happen. https://www.ipaceforums.co.uk/posts/139084/

 

As mentioned above, I had basically the same thing happen this morning.

Car would not move at all, even though the error I got said "ok to drive with caution, traction battery fault". Although the car should still drive with this error (as I understand it).

I had mine turned off for an hour while I was waiting for a tow truck, of course as the truck arrived the car worked fine and no more error so I drove it home 🤷‍♂️

 

Feels like another 12v battery issue ...

 

How quickly did you press 'R'? There have been reports of similary strange issues if pressing 'D' too quickly and before the dash says 'READY'.

 

Today my MY22 iPace Black would not move at all in reverse although the R light was lit and everything else including drive worked normally. The dash stated 'electrical fault please stop safely'. I tried various things, locking/opening, ignition off/on etc but nothing made any difference.

I left the car for a few hours and now all works normally and no fault codes stored according to my basic code reader.

A similar thing happened 6 months ago which also resolved itself after a time.

Any ideas as to what may be happening would be appreciated.

Yes, the car computer does things like that I have had a few things over years. The poor thing gets terribly confused but happy to work again after a rest and a proper restart.
