    What's your 90%?

    I guess that would make sense, but assuming that's the case then that same 7% existed when my battery originally had 206 miles at 100%, so to me it doesn't change the amount of degradation in the equation. Maybe it's possible that 7% didn't exist and through a firmware update they "blocked" that...

    What's your 90%?

    The SC called me with their engineers response after studying the logs again and they said the battery is normal and healthy. Their math goes something like this: Total usable = ~58.5kWh but 0% isnt actually 0%, there is really ~7% still available at 0% to protect you from yourself. So my...

    What's your 90%?

    That looks almost identical to mine: I've been a huge advocate to friends and coworkers but if the response is that 30%+ battery degradation is "normal and healthy" then my tune will absolutely change.

    What's your 90%?

    It was mid to upper 70s so I had the A/C on a bit here and there but unless I'm misunderstanding the avg kWh/mi figure, wouldn't any non driving related battery usage show up in that average? I.e if I pree-cooled the vehicle it would increase the kWh usage but since no mileage was accrued, it...

    What's your 90%?

    So I've done the 3 charges to 100% down below 20% and my 90% and 100% rated miles are exactly the same. The alarming thing to me, assuming I'm not missing something, is that on my last charge to 100% I drove until the battery was ~5% and my trip section shows that in that 95% battery usage I...

    What's your 90%?

    For the first ~2 years of ownership I charged to 80% nightly and the last 2 I've charged to 90% and my rated miles at each have steadily dropped. They gave me the advice to do the charge to 100% and drive it below 20% three straight times so I'm doing that now.

    What's your 90%?

    2014 Model S60, 60,300 miles with a lifetime 319kWh/m average. I currently get a very disappointing 150 rated miles @ 90% and 167 for a full range charge. Nearly 20% degradation and the service center says this is normal and within expected limits and reminded me degradation wasn't included in...

    What's your 90%?

    2014 S60 with 30K miles and I get 162RR at 90% charge. It has been steadily dropping since the day I bought it almost 2 years ago.

    Kansas City Tesla Owners and Enthusiasts Get Together

    Did they send out invites? I would have assumed all local owners would have been invited. Would have been nice to be invited to an event like that.

    Supercharger - Topeka, KS

    Thanks for all the pictures and updates! I am traveling through here on Friday and I am cautiously optimistic that it might be online by then.

    Decreasing rated range.

    I am not a worry-er by nature, but it is hard to see my rate range continue to drop especially when I need as many miles as possible. It is just alarming to see 194 as a max # when 4 months ago it was 204. I didnt read all 1,600 posts in this thread so there may be a perfectly reasonable...

    Decreasing rated range.

    I am leaving on a road trip tomorrow so I range charged my MS60 for the 2nd time since I received it around 4 months and 7,000 miles ago. To my disappointment, my max range charge is now only 194 which is down from 198 the first time I range charged and 204 when it was delivered with a full...

    Supercharger - Topeka, KS

    I'm headed through Topeka on my way out to Colorado this weekend and if by some stroke of luck this is open for use, it would save me from an hour of L2 charging to get the 20ish buffer miles I need to make it to the Salina supercharger. I planned on calling the Arby's to see if one of the...

    Watching for I-70 Superchargers from Denver to St. Louis

    Colorado Springs area Hotel charging?

    Headed to Colorado Springs this weekend and while I don't absolutely need to charge over night, it would make things a lot easier. Anyone know of hotels that offer charging in the area or at least hotels near EV charging stations that are open overnight? I have an MS60 and will be supercharging...
