Had same issue last week on a 240 mile roundtrip. It went away after a sleep cycle(an hour or so) and then it came back again while coming back. I also saw the error "Transmission malfunction, do not change transmission position". I have an appointment with the service center later this week. Looks like it's the 12V battery fault. It happened twice after driving for couple of hours.

Update on this, service center had to replace the rear drive module and did update software as well. So far so good, will update it here if the error comes back.
