Do you though?

So does Medford…

Likewise for me today, both car nav and app were displaying anywhere from 1-4 available, but when I arrived only 2 cars were plugged in. I’ve seen several cars come and go, and as far as I can tell the number only updates when someone (un)plugs one of the chargers in bank 2; banks 1 and 3 seem...

Oh, the irony… Preventing fires by lighting fires… it's a tactic. :p

Is it Teslafi that can't connect to the car? Or is it that the car can't connect to Tesla? :cool:

It only affects the advertised range in that they can't advertise as much as the battery could potentially achieve if it was allowed to be fully charged; it actually protects them against false advertising claims in the long run by advertising a smaller range that they're more likely to be able...

"The lawsuit filed on Wednesday in Northern California federal court alleges fraud and seeks class action status for the potentially 'thousands' of such Model S and X owners around the world who have seen the range of their older-generation batteries suddenly curtailed, some by as much as 40...

Or 4.07 V, now. :cool:

Oh sure, you'll cosset (thanks for teaching me that word, BTW) your Tesla's battery, but your iPad you have no qualms leaving at 100%? :p

By "the buffer", I presume you're referring to the additional amount of charge that every pack can contain but that the car cannot use; that is achieved by reserving approximately 5% of the cells' capacity above Vmin to ensure the cells don't bottom out (once a lithium ion cell reaches a certain...

Vmax in any context is just the specified maximum voltage a given component is supposed to be capable of taking; anything beyond that risks damaging the component and/or voiding the warranty. In the context of a battery, it is the maximum cell voltage allowed within specification — at which...

In order to do that, they would've had to physically swap the cells in our battery packs; don't think a Mobile Technician could pull that off, and I doubt they've perfected teleportation technology just yet. ;) No, that's exactly what they've done here — Vmax of our cells is still 4.2 V, but...

That also speaks to the inconsistency with these updates; some people have no loss in capacity, yet are severely hindered in SuC rates (mine by comparison is less-noticably affected — even accounting for the redefinition of percentages, but my pack never could do better than 90 kW anyway, so…...
