Someone had leaked a Model 3 Tesla service manual a while back on Reddit (post was deleted). It has some good information regarding how the displayed range is calculated and brick balancing.

There was a point starting retrofits before then. Now that there is a delta, thousands of 2.X FSD customers are waiting for the upgrade. I'm exited and disappointed at the same time!!! :)

Driving habit isn't taken into account when calculating the displayed range. The Model 3 BMS uses the lowest brick capacity (this takes degradation into account) and the average brick voltage (balancing the bricks can help here) to calculate range. Only extremely cold temps are supposed to...

Sorry I didn't think to ask. When I first dropped it off the service rep didn't really know what could be causing the issue. I don't think it is a very common fault.

OP here... They ended up having to replace the Power Conversion System. Was told they had to flush the battery coolent in order to perform the repair. Took a few days for the part to arrive (understandable due to weekend and new years day), and less than a day to repair. The invoice lists...

Last night, I plugged in my Model 3 into my home HPWC like normal. About 30 minutes later, I checked my phone to see if charging was going good, at which point I noticed it was only charging at 32A. Entered my car and noticed the following error: "Charge speed reduced, unplug and try again...

I just tried charging to 100% for the first time. I was only able to get 280 :( Model 3 not tracking charge above 280 miles

This is very common with the Model 3s at my work parking lot. Almost like a right of passage. One of the owners said he covered up his using the Dupli-Color Dark Shadow Gray from amazon. Make sure you take the time to clean and sand the area well. His cover job definitely didn't look as good...

Midnight silver metalic reflects Scottsdale's blue sky!

Its not an emergency, so I just scheduled a service appointment online. I don't think its worth calling Tesla about... although I am curious to hear what they would say; if they can remotely monitor the battery. Or rather if anyone else on the forums has seen a similar issue... I'm not too...

I already setup an SC appointment as it is the obvious thing to do in this situation... but I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems. Exterior temp was about 65 degrees. Since I got the car I have been using my wall charger and charge daily to 70% or 80%. When charging to these...

I also emailed my IDA within the hour. He tried calling me the next day, but I wasn't able to pickup at the time. He left a message asking me to call (or email) him back to setup the delivery. Now It doesn't matter what time I call my IDA, it goes straight to voicemail. He hasn't replied...
