Visited the same SuC today again. When starting off this morning there were no noise from the rear motor. Temperatures still around freezing. Came to the SuC with 38% and cold battery and charged with a steady 53kW up till 72%. It showed the battery heating bars the whole charging session...

I would say whining more than metal on metal

Had a weird SUC session tonight. We have just below freezing at the moment. The car was cold and I drove approx. 35 km before SuC. Had a stop 10 km before the SuC and then set the Navi to the SuC and it started heating the battery. When I arrived to the SUC with 16% I plugged in and it showed...

Firm hands-on persuasion is sometimes the only solution :D Good to hear that you are back on the road again

Yes! A big hammer and then just hammer it off the brake disc and it needed some force too. It didn't damage the brake disc and the parking brake caliper had some chips in the paint, but no real damage as well. Got a 'new' used one and replaced it and no issues since

I don't think there is anything you can do in any of those cases. If the 'new' battery is showing lower range than the one they replaced, Tesla will just say that it needs to adjust itself and that can take months. You did not win the lottery on this one, but at least it is a working car again.

True - but to be accurate, it's not the kWh x volts, but the amperage x available volts that would always be lower than the 692 :-)

Subtle flex :D

That makes more sense. That would equal 80 kWh at 100%.

But it's from the MCU in the car, not form the wall. The car can only see from the charge port and in, right? Edit: one explanation could be that he was in the car while charging and having the heater on (it is cold in Norway)

Not really, 80 kWh would be to low. I'm going after your numbers of 33% SoC and 58 kWh added. You need a SMT or similar reading

So that would mean than when you hit 0% then you have used the buffer - but the buffer is there to make sure that the SoC never gets below the size of the buffer, so that makes no sense

Ok, you disagree? So a full charge from 0-100% includes the buffer? Never heard of that. Or don't you agree that he started charging with a SoC of 33% or that he put 58 kWh on the car bringing it from a SoC from 33% to 100%? Or do you not agree that 67% is 58 kWh in his case and if the 58 kWh...

Yes, a new gen 3 Tesla wall charger is like $530. Will buy this when it fails completely

Well, not really. His SoC was 33% when beginning the charge session and his charged 58 kWh over the session from 33-100% to the car, which gives a 100% at 86,5 kWh. 0% is not including the buffer, right?
