    Looking for the Lighted Rear Appliqué

    Was it the letter or the controller? I suspect my controller, not any sort of water issue, because of the temp correlation.

    Looking for the Lighted Rear Appliqué

    I had the first version, and then updated to the larger letters (Version II?). Used the same non CAN controller. Recently it began behaving oddly, and there was a seeming correlation with ambient temp (heat) that caused the "S", "L", "A" to not always light in KITT mode. Because of that...

    I would have been unhappy at month 1, upset around 6 months, and pissed for the remainder of the period where my car lost performance and capacity. Yup, thought experiment works the same as reality.

    restricted regen - not fully charge, nor very cold

    We’re both wrong. The owner of our cars, tesla, makes all these decisions for us. I’m glad you’re happy with their management of your property. But, stand by, that may change.

    I do, esp since I paid a hefty premium, and there is long list of specs that were never met. Beginning with 85kWh and 691/762 hp.

    New 85kWH battery for my 2013 P85+

    Don’t need to be a hacker, multiple CAN bus apps give current and voltage. If you are “calculating” you need to account for significant voltage sag under load, esp at significant current. I believe tesla will do as little as possible in each and every case. They have lowered the performance...

    True; can you point me to a post quantitatively documenting that higher current?

    restricted regen - not fully charge, nor very cold

    So you’re saying I have a damaged battery, since for the first five years of ownership I never saw this limitation due to temperature and now I see it frequently? Tesla cannot or least should not be able to continue crippling the performance of my car for safety or for warranty liability.

    tesla is being very deceptive. Who knows what’s next.

    energy gauge popped in.....

    Yes, your description is correct, but you are wrong. tesla is much more aggressively limiting both regen and acceleration with a “cool” battery. I’m seeing significant impact. See the thread on sudden degradation.

    This is yet another way tesla is limiting the performance of your car. See the sudden degradation thread.

    Agree, but 1/2 volt seems like a large delta at 500 amps. I think I’m now capped to about 1300 amps, even though I paid for “L”. I plan to investigate module deltas at max current.
  33. faughtz

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    Has anyone examined module voltage deltas under load? My modules are within a few mv, at both low and hi SOC, but when I look at module deltas under load, I see almost 500mv at 500A. Defective cells/modules or sampling artifacts?

    Why I recommend AGAINST buying a Tesla

    Very clear to me (and many others). tesla took 10kWh of capacity, 40kW of performance, and dramatically slowed my supercharging w/o explanation - overnight and w/o my permission. They did this by limiting the individual cell voltages at 100%. These are capabilities for which I paid about...

    Is Tesla changing warranty terms again, reducing coverage retroactively? [Website Error]

    Yes it is. tesla misrepresented hp in the P85DL by changing from rwhp to motor power with no explanation or footnotes. It’s called deception.

    They did the same to my account and additionally if I open the attached warranty, on page 5, it states 125k miles. During my arbitration, tesla also had a warranty document that was different than the one applicable to me. Hard to tell if it’s just sloppy or deliberate malfeasance.
