battery

I own a 2021 Model 3 Performance and just received the HV battery error code of death ("Unable to charge - Maximum charge level reached") with 60K miles on the odometer. I can no longer charge using a Level 1, Level 2, or Tesla Supercharger. Fortunately, I have about 75% left on the current...

Making this thread as part 2 to the saga of getting my model S to work. The drive unit is properly synced (Model S Rooted v11.0 2022.8.10.5 drive unit replacement problems), however now there are now battery issues. I was told there were no battery issues before the drive unit died by the...

I'm hearing about classic batteries, 4860 structural and LFP (CATL vs Blade?) How do I know which one I am getting? What are the pros and cons of each? Which one should I hope or see if I can demand I can get?

Help Evaluating Tesla Battery Analysis I am looking at a used Tesla, model S. 2012, 85, RWD. It has 202,000 miles. Yes I know that is very high :) I paid the owner to take it to Tesla for a pre-purchase inspection and they looked at a lot of the basics and then he had them do a battery...

I absolutely cannot get a straight answer from Tesla. I was initally led to believe the LR was not available for a while because it was going to be updated to have the same batter technology the SR had, which you could charge to 100 percent and so on...now, they are saying they aren't sure but...

Hey everyone, I just joined the Tesla club this week 😆. We got a 2017 MS 75D. I’m in LOVE. I have some questions about battery care. I’m a stay at home mom most days (go out to drop kids at school, go to the gym, run errands, pick up from school etc.) and then a substitute other days. My...

Hi everyone, I’d really really appreciate any help here. My M3P 2020 is suddenly draining way more battery while I’m overseas on work. I charged my car to 90% before leaving 10 days ago. I’ve lost 50% in the last 10 days I’ve been gone. Sentry mode has been off the whole time (I disabled it...

Hi Tesla Lounge, Long time lurker, soon to be first time buyer. Due to federal incentives and the dropping price of older Tesla's, I can finally join the lounge. I have exhausted myself with research on MILES VS YEAR, MILES VS YEAR, and I just wanted to get eveyrones input on the above...

I have a 2016 AWD 90D Model S that is at the Tesla Service Center because it would not start. The high voltage batter fuse was replaced 6 months ago and car has been fine until a few days ago when I got a ‘car may not start’ error message on my mobile app and had to tow it to the service center...

Last night I run for the first time the build in Battery Health test from service mode on my +3 years old Tesla M3 Long Range (E5D battery) and +75.000 Km. I got home at around 21:20 with 5% SOC so I said this is a good moment to kick the test. I recorded data with Scan My Tesla during the test...

I have a 2018 Model S 75D, it has approx 37k miles. I have been having issues with it recently from replacing battery coolant heater and 12v battery to the latest replacement of MCU. The car went offline a few times and it took 3 tows to service center to have them diagnosed the issue of MCU...

Hello, The Tesla model 3 works with power-saving i guess. see the screenshots what should i do? in the servicemenu i see " Vehicle load shed state" being inactive. I could press " Reset VCfront" or " Clear post crash load shed". but i am afraid to do so because i heave no idea what those...

I've only had my 23 MXLR for less than a month. The car uses a lot of power when parked in our garage 7.5% a day (24 hr) thats like 24 miles a day, or 1 mile an hour when parked in our garage. From 100% to 0% in 13.33 days (about 2 weeks), without driving it. I have set it to not lock and no...

I’ve learned a lot from AAKEE and a number of other users - one whose username I don’t recall, please chime in, but he mentioned he uses the stop charge function to usually charge up to only 35% and leave a 5% buffer at the end of the day. So I’ve learned about calendar aging and cycle aging...

I parked my car at the airport a week ago, and the battery was probably around 60%. I got a message last night that sentry mode (which I should have turned off) has turned off because the battery is now at 20%. We’ll be gone another week and I’m worried the battery will keep dropping. I’ve heard...

I have a weird situation where my 2020 Tesla Model X Dual Motor, does not charge sometimes. There have been 2 instances of this so far and I can't figure out why and it gives anxiety anytime I have to go far because I don't know if it will charge. I always have the car scheduled to start...

“To maintain the battery health, keep the charge limit at 100% and charge fully once per week <==30A==> “ So my question is, can I charge my Tesla at the supercharger every time to 100% or not?, I live in Condo and don’t have access to the charge port, though nearest super charger is 5...

Recently, in the past few weeks, I have noticed my Model Y is at 237mi, 80% charged, when I go to sleep. In the morning, the range is reduced to 223mi. This is quite a bit of a drop considering thecold weather conditions in the NY tri-state . Is that a significant drop overnight? Is this due to...

Hi All, I have a 2018 model X P100D on factory 22” rims running OEM Perelli tires. The car has about 50k miles on it. Here is the question. Is my model X normal or do I have a problem? Information. We don’t get near the “rated mileage”. Our rated mileages at 80% charge is 216 miles. I have a...

Hi there, Let me start off by saying I love my 2021 Tesla Model 3 LR with 85k. A couple weeks ago a had a message on my screen that said, "maximum charge level and range may be reduced". It suggested I make a service appointment. I also noticed that overnight my maximum charge level and...

Hello, Tesla installed a supercharger just beside my apartment complex recently. It went online last week and I was very excited about this. But, now it became a bittersweet problem. Every time I start navigating to my home, my Tesla thinks that I'm going to a supercharger and starts...

Hey all. Just bought a 2020 Model 3 SR+ with 13,000 miles on it. I've had it two weeks today and had some questions about my efficiency and battery health. I understand, of course, that I will not be getting the range advertised as I will not be driving in the very specific conditions that EPA...

While the car was being driven at around 20mins left at range on the way home and a warning came up for reduced power and the vehicle may not restart. Driver pulls over and of course car doesn’t not restart. Had to pull out the 12V battery to bring home to charge due to the charging port not...

I've been looking around at model s 0-60 times ,specifically the jump from the 70kwh RWD battery cars to the 75kwh RWD battery cars. The drivetrains are identical with a large rear drive unit but the 0-60 times are 1.3 seconds apart. Why is this? Are 2 more modules active in the 75kwh for more...

Looking at trading my standard range Model 3 for a used 2020 Model S Long Range. When inspected the undercarriage I noticed four spots on the four corners of the battery behind the wheels, where some sort of greyish black goop was pasted on. This was very concerning to me until I looked under 3...

As the official Tesla stores cannot reply officially, it would be good to write here a list of new "hardware" that can be delivered to Portugal (or not) for every Tesla model, to understand if new orders in Portugal will receive, for example.... HW4? Matrix LED headlights? Battery type? To...

Hi all. Last July I left the Tesla model 3 (2021) in a sunny airport car park in an England. It dropped loads in battery over a few days and I realised I’d left cabin overheat protection on. MY mistake. So this July for the holiday I ensured the setting was off when I left the car, and the...

Tesla model S - 2017 Both the car and app show 30amp charging (level 2 charger), but the charging app I used for the level 2 charger only shows 29amps being used. When I charged a newer model S, the charging app displayed the appropriate 30amps (just like in the car and in the Tesla app). It...

Hello all!, I am a first-time Tesla owner. I would like to know your opinion on my findings. As I mentioned, I just purchased a certified preowned Model 3 with 40.500 miles through the tesla.com website. I did a good research about Teslas and, among other EVs I considered it the best option...

We lose a lot of efficiency living on a hill but otherwise seem to be hitting the EPA range and more. Anyone else have similar experience?

Hey guys- I have a 2013 Model S 85kW that was built in Dec 2013. It has a reman battery pack from 2018 according to the label. Software version v10.2 2021.24.28. I really like this car so I'm hoping someone can help with this issue I've been having The attached photo shows the warnings I am...

This video does a GREAT job of summarizing the incredibly important reasons to NOT swap the OEM low-volt battery for one of these at any cost, let alone over 2.5x OEM replacement cost. Even if you subscribe to the "benefits" this touts, none of them apply to a Tesla given the relatively...

Bought my car in October and based off the full range I doubt the pack was replaced. It shows as 230 at 100%. 2014 P85D Anyone seen this message or the message below and have an idea what is happening with this?

Replaced my 2014 MS 85 HV battery out of warranty recently with a refurbished pack. I'm noticing that the time it takes to reach the desired SOC much longer than on my original pack. On my original battery, supercharger estimated times were accurate to about 5 minutes. On the refurbished pack...

Hi all, I recently took delivery of my 2023 M3SR about 3 weeks ago and loving it. I usually receive some decent range from it, around 220 miles on a single charge (mostly highway driving). I upgraded to 2023.6.9 yesterday, and noticed something other than the park assist having to be...

I just bought a 2016 Model S 90D with 93k miles. I am quite pleased with it so far. Everything is working fine with only a few cosmetic issues. I also still have a battery warranty until June 2024. I was wondering, after this battery has bit the dust (while out of warranty), would it be...

Hello, I just pickup my 2013 M3P last Saturday and I'm confused about charging. I have seen sources telling to charge to 100% and others to go between 60-80%. What's the correct for the 2013 model? Attached pages I found online searching

Does anyone know how thick the battery shield protection is? Came home with our brand new M3 from the delivery center and while admiring its engineering and aerodynamic undercarriage (I’m obsessed with cars) saw 2 identical 1.5- 2 inch gouges on the battery shield/case. Guessing it was from...

Thanks in advance for entertaining yet another vampire drain post. I will be leaving my 2022 Model 3 at San Francisco Intl Airport for 24 days in May. I've read through many of the posts in this forum about what to turn off (Sentry Mode, Cabin Overheat Protection; I don't have Summon on my...

I've happily owner a 2012 Model S Signature 132k miles for over 8 years. I've had some minor issues over the years but most were resolved under warranty or fixed for less than $1000. My recent problem started in August 2022 when my car was rear-ended while I was at a light. The damage to the...

I have my 2021 MDL3 standard Range plus With only 50k miles I got this BMS_a066 Maximum charge level and range may be reduced Warning ⚠️ light on 😕. SHOULD I BE WORRIED? Or Can anyone tell me more about it. I currently did my appointment for February 13 looks like i might be getting the battery...

Bought my 2023 M3P, last week, and within the sixth day (with only 237 miles) the following alerts showed up and stated that they were from 6:15 a.m., I was asleep and the Tesla Mobile Connector hadn't been delivered to my house as of yet, so I am confused... This is a screenshot from my...
