When Tesla updated the chemistry and introduced the 90 and 75 packs. Those fore sure are subject to throttling. I dont know about the 100 packs or the Model 3 packs.

There were a few variants with software limited battery packs. The common thing is the battery is limited in top, not bottom. Thats the same for all variants. The 40kwh battery is the original 2013 60kwh pack. Then when we got to 2015 and first got the upgraded 70kwh battery with real cells...

Same thing happend last night on a schduled charging. The car went dead and charging didnt start. Ofcourse car started in the morning, but screen needed to be re-booted.

I think the comment about hot battery is spot on, and maybe you can sort it yourself: If you have the car in "range mode ON" the battery will have a higher target temperature for operating and go straight into active cooling when you hit a supercharger. Think the passive target is raised from...

If one block fails it will trigger fault and you cant charge the battery. Dont know how much difference is allowed between blocks but when my 85 battery went one block went from 3.9V to 3.5V, that got me a "pull over safely car is shutting down" The way the battery measures capacity is not an...

I had a main battery replacement on my 2013 S. I got the same battery here in Norway now! The invoice says so, havent seen it yet. Struggle to find time to pick it up this week. So I am getting a refurbished 85 battery then?

Unless you are one of the very very few who got the 85 battery you`re *sugar* out of luck. And that battery only has a few kwh more available than the 75. Like 5kwh or thereabouts.

And yes, a calibrated batterypack will have about 3-3,5kwh hidden below 0km range. Are you a gambling man? Many have been left stranded this way

When you stretch it below 5% SOC indicated the car will not charge the 12V battery anymore. Should you take your time before plugging in, park somewhere etc, then use HVAC/lights and other stuff that consumes power you can well find yourself stranded even if the car has more usable power in the...

Got a massive imbalance 16 may. 3.9v MAX and 3.5v MIN. Car shut down 20km later. Think something went very wrong. Car was parked for 1.5 days at 80% SOC in hot weather (hot for Norway anyways, 25C). When starting it showed 170km range remaining and 65% SOC. Right now it says 240km on APP...

Fiver, how long is a rubber cord? Range is a product of consumption and available battery capacity. You cant sue Tesla over your own consumption. You can however hang their arse out if your car is advertized as 85kwh and only ever had 81kwh. Or can you? Consumption will wary greatly with...

Under the "Driving" setting. Is the car put in "Range mode ON" ? If so you will be running the battery hotter and that leaves less margin on top before it goes into active cooling. Also the louvers in front mentioned. Think they may be stuck closed. A very common fault.

2013 S85. 165.000 km (aprox 140.000 km on battery). 90% = 337km

Just a bit of caution if you cycle the battery. When you go deep deep low on SOC keep a very keen lookout on powerlimit and know that it will shutdown at 20kw limit, wouldnt recommend going below 40kw limit. Already there you should be 2kwh below 0km if the algorithm is correct. On my car it...

When you first set off in conditions like this your brakes can be none functioning. I live in Norway and this has happend to me once this winter on my 2013 S. It has the upgraded brakes and the software is supposed to every so often warm the brakes just a little. Alas it dosent help on startup...
