    Drive battery health test in Service mode.

    100% full health battery as measured by Tesla using their Service Mode ie no measured degradation. Ok see this cover shot of the video I posted earlier in this thread where the gentleman had a successful health test result here in Australia for a Model 3P that came from Fremont USA with NCA...

    Drive battery health test in Service mode.

    I did managed to do a successful reference health test as seen here: Now the lesson I learnt compared to my previous try with my Model Y RWD was not to be impatient with the test. Just give it some time especially once it's charged to 100%. Hope it helps others.

    M3 Aussie Specific Build Info and Analysis

    Now there has been some articles written about LG going from a NMC to NCMA chemistry to be used in Teslas floating about for some time from what I have seen but what evidence are you using to make such a committed statement? For example if we look at data as presented here...

    Model Y parcel shelf.

    Yes it came with my new MY LR that I ordered in April when the LR became available. I can see how this is disappointing for you and I also feel bad for the people that bought the MY RWD off me that could have got a new MY RWD for the same price because of the price drop just after they bought...

    Model Y review from an mechanical and software engineer's standpoint.

    Would the software be the same? When I last drove our MY RWD on TACC which would have been before April this year from memory. After ordering the MY LR in April we stopped using the RWD as much as possible to stop putting any extra kms on it for resale value purposes and we had another car we...

    Model Y parcel shelf.

    NP. Thanks for the appreciation.:) As I said previously here in another thread where I wrote: " 5. A parcel shelf, I think Tesla calls it, is now included which I think seems to make the interior quieter especially over rougher roads from my initial impression. Extra sound deadening is...

    Model Y parcel shelf.

    Not sure if anyone is interested but I have some photos I took of the new parcel shelf on my new Model Y LR. I will just drop some of them in quickly and I can give some answers or even a review from my experiences tomorrow if required. Showing underneath: Hatch closed looking over back...

    Model Y review from an mechanical and software engineer's standpoint.

    Ok I have a some time here at the moment to reply to you.:) A kW is a kW but we need to put into place where the measurements are coming from in your query. In the case of a ICE vehicle we tend to measure the output at the crankshaft so after the inefficiencies of the ICE which can be expressed...

    Model Y review from an mechanical and software engineer's standpoint.

    Thought some may be interested in a acceleration run we did with the MY LR. Note the Creep mode showing (top left) which my eldest son prefers who was driving while I took the screenshot. I myself prefer Hold mode (one pedal). Also note max discharge bottom right 357 kW compared to 287 kW...

    Model Y review from an mechanical and software engineer's standpoint.

    G'day paulp. Sorry I didn't back to you earlier. Been busy at work especially after sacking myself to go down to pick up the new car.😁 You mean do I now get HW4 on my new Model Y LR? No I think it's same hardware as the previous MY RWD. But I will check more carefully with images I have seen in...

    Model Y review from an mechanical and software engineer's standpoint.

    Ok, like I said before in this thread I had sold my Model Y RWD and was waiting for a Model Y LR I had ordered in April ( same day after orders opened for LR here in Australia). Picked up the Model Y LR yesterday from Chatswood and drove it back to the Mid North Coast on the same day. My...

    Drive battery health test in Service mode.

    I guess you are writing to me? If yes, you might have heard of reference points ie you need to have something to reference to for future data. We engineers do it all the time as part of testing. All it can do! Generalised statement without fact IMO. See my first answer to you above to help...

    Model Y review from an mechanical and software engineer's standpoint.

    Yea like cafz says it is usually only taking just enough power out of the battery to overcome the resistance of the motor to rotate when no power is supplied. All the permanent magnet motors I deal with and can get to actually turn the Rotor with my own hands or with tools, have a noticeable...

    Drive battery health test in Service mode.

    Yea the same with me where it did a full discharge/charge cycle and no test result. I hope we can get to the bottom of this and find a reliable way of doing this test and maybe also help others if they require it.🙂

    Drive battery health test in Service mode.

    I actually said: See that part about "or for that matter any type chemistry" ie meaning has anyone in Australia a gotten a successful health test of any chemistry yet? Ok I said in my post: Now did I interpret any of those instruction wrong? I don't think so and if you watch that video I...
