Sorry for the delay, gaspi101, I just saw this. After several years of continued normal use, I conclude that it was not a bad battery module that caused the issue, but a software update/issue that resulted in the car showing artificially high remaining miles. Then when I got down to what it said...

Yes, I could switch back and forth, and 32 miles of range said 13%. I also checked Teslafi and it reported the same thing, I was at 32 miles/13% and then it switched off and rapidly declined to 0. So at that point, my range definitely was less than 13%/32 miles, and it was displaying an...

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure a lawyer would end up costing more than my $240 tow bill and future recharging efforts. It's hard because I really love my Tesla - I just wish they would improve their customer service o_O

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought. If sleep is necessary for Tesla's, and someone leaves sentry mode on by default every time they're parked (not an unreasonable thing to do), then won't there be big problems resulting?

Oh wow. Apparently my car never goes to sleep, on Teslafi I haven't enabled "sleep mode". I assume that's something I should do? Could all of this have been a consequence of my car never sleeping, kind of like a computer that never gets shut down all the way causes bugs?

What exactly do you define as "sleeping" vs "idling"? I leave my car overnight and it seems to be sleeping, but I always have sentry mode on, the tesla-fi app, etc.

Wow, you're the first person I've seen with a similar issue. Interesting that it's on an X100D, while I'm an S75. Very intriguing that you can replicate the issue by following that charging/discharging sequence - I will try to do the same to see if I always have a limit or if I can get to 100%...

They already did once, I swear. After the service center did the tests post-shutdown, and said everything looked normal, they put my car on their supercharger. It wouldn't go past 94%, despite hours of trying. I told them that really doesn't seem normal, and they said that's how it works now...

Yikes. I guess I'll have to lug it in to the service center again. No one else has an issue where they can't charge beyond 94%? That's not normal? I tried searching the forums but don't see others like that.

Now when I try to charge to 100% (at home or supercharger), my range is only going up to 226 miles, about 94%. Even if I manually take the charge level down and back up, it will start charging for a second but stop again at that max range. Is this normal, or should I be able to charge to 100%...

I apologize. I went back and checked on teslafi, my range at 100% charge was 244 miles. It was at 244 that I had the 25 extra 'ghost' miles. My rated range at 100% charge now, after the software update, is about 240. Yes, the tow was $240 for only one mile, but the total time with the truck...

I checked, it wasn't on "ideal" settings. Anyway, 32 miles on "ideal" should still have been 20-25 miles of "rated" range and not died on me. I tried to reset using the steering wheel buttons when I saw the range not going down, and it still occurred. I didn't try a deeper reset, since I was...

I don't think so. I think the 2017 S75's shipped with a 75 kw battery, and that's my capacity now...I think they SW limited it for the 60 version. I'm sure others on this forum know more than I do. I can live with the one-time tow charge, if I was sure this wouldn't happen again. If it isn't my...

Interesting thought - that could be what happened. I knew something weird was happening when I drove for miles and miles and it still showed 255! I didn't consider that it would come back to bite me later without any warnings. Yesterday as a test, I took it down to 26 miles of range without...

I've actually been through all three doors now! o_O
