Last time I drove my friend's Tesla, I saw this half-circle exclamation mark and immediately asked his service advisor. This is the brake system warning light, most commonly indicating low brake fluid level. The brake fluid reservoir is located at the rear of the engine compartment, and the fluid level may drop below standard after high temperatures or prolonged driving. Another possibility is that the brake pads have worn to their limit and need replacement, though a malfunction in the electronic parking brake calipers could also trigger this warning. It's especially important to note that when the red half-circle symbol appears, it's best not to drive as it indicates potentially insufficient braking force. My friend's solution was straightforward: he scheduled a service center appointment through the car's touchscreen, and the technician remotely confirmed that brake fluid needed to be topped up.
