    Never had a problem with my car yet, but it started very rough this am and then was fine all day. Side note: my plastic name badge slipped into the slot below "mode" a couple weeks ago and the dash switched to EV mode briefly (my car is not modified). I removed the tag immediately. This morning my tag was in the slot again when I started the car, but I did not notice right away. Is it possible I am shorting something?

    How would you describe the humidity at the time? How long did it last? How long was it running prior to the shutdown the day before?
