Loss of acceleration, power, and it doesn’t gain speed

It has already happened to me three times, while driving on the highway at about 70 km/h, pressing the accelerator pedal all the way down, and the car does not gain power, does not downshift, and does not increase speed, while in D mode

After new july firmware:


Unfortunately, this happened again on several occasions with the new July firmware. The vehicle in Drive (D) in any driving mode other than “Go Kart, does not accelerate or respond after prolonged idling, it does not gain speed, and when overtaking vehicles on the highway this becomes a huge accident risk.
Did anyone else experience something similar?

Well I'm always in Go Kart mode so I guess that's why I didn't see this happen haha!
