Electric Motor and Powertrain Performance Problems on Local Roads

What common powertrain o r electric motor issues do Tesla Model S owners face when driving on Pakistan’s uneven o r poorly maintained roads? Are there problems with suspension–motor alignment, noise from the drivetrain, o r reduced performance during long-distance travel?

On rough o r uneven roads — which are common in many parts of Pakistan — Tesla Model S owners report several powertrain-related challenges:

Unusual drivetrain noises caused by constant vibrations.

Suspension–motor alignment strain, which may lead to wear on bushings o r motor mounts.

Reduced acceleration o r performance when the car enters a protective mode due to poor road conditions o r overheating.

Occasional issues with the half shafts axles, especially during hard acceleration, which is a known global Model S problem.

Although the electric motor itself is highly reliable, the surrounding mechanical components can be affected by rough road conditions and lack of specialized service centers.
