    Hi All! I have, as noted above, a knee capped 2014 Late build S85-no sunroof, which in response to my request tfor a buy back by TESLA,through the service manager at my service center, I was offered $34,400 for a 32K mileage white trade in value. They responded with the usual "operating...

    BTW, I did ask TESLA service center if I could set a lower cap rate at the 32kW the wall charger my Golf cart charger would allow ) but they said only TESLA BMS sets that rate. I was again thinking of ANY number that would be equal to the cap TESLA placed on my battery, which SHOULD be an...

    Hi Ferrycraigs! thanks for the reply. I ask because TESLA just informed me that going forward, supercharging would cause more degradation to my battery than charging by AC. Since, DC is DC, that made no sense to me, UNLESS, TESLA believes that their CURRENT BMS is hedging the bet that a MORE...

    Hi All! Been following theis thread and others for a fair bit. Hypothetical here. Please commenton the expected battery degradation/damage from exclusively charging at say 24kW (using an AC surce and the car's onboard converter), with a home charger, vs. exclusively charging at a Supercharger...

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    TESLA told me that my battery "degradation" was due to frequent supercharger use over the 5 years I have had my late 2014 85S and driven it 32K miles. They said that when the replaced the the following last week. BTW, after all the below, the max kW that they said was achieved when they...

    Anyone know if the late 2014 Model S builds have anything about any supercharging causing battery damage(degradation) in specific language such that there is some prohibition against % of superchargers vs. , say 32kW or 8kW chargering or other rates? Also, I remember when there were TESLA...

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    I think I read somewhere on the charging forum, that a reported increase, on the app/in car display, may be real, if there is a rebalancing within the battery, due to a failing portion of the battery. I noted an increase of 1% after approx three hours at the 1% less SOC, as reported on my App...

    Broken onboard charger question

    Hi ALL! My late 2014 S85, referenced above, has been in the service center and I received an email from the SC, stating that they found an issue with the onboard charger. I was told they were waiting for a part, regarding that issue. I have searched the forum and did not find any relation...

    Question for those with free supercharging

    Hi TGA! Finally someone asked. It is my nomenclature to describe: what, on the one hand is what has happened to my car 85S to 85SG (Gated) and on the other what a differentially suited appellation might be 85SG (Golf Cart) Thank you very much FURY

    Superchargers slowing

    On my car and many others reported on these fora, the previous full charge rate has been kneecapped and is NOT even close to what it had been. For example, my 85S max rate was 53 Kw and that was only a few seconds when charging for 2.5 hours from 11-98%.YRMV Thank you very much FURY

    15 miles consumption projected miles = 103miles using 464 wh/mile (over last 15 miles) with battery at 68%. 464 x 103 = 51,054 (Divided by State of charge at 68% so divide by 0.68) 47,792/70 = 70.28 kwh battery capacity. So out of 81kwh from new (S85 is actually 81kwh) I have roughly 70kwh of...

    98% for max charge?
