    90D "Not safe to drive," says Tesla: Battery overvoltage BMS_w098. Now what?

    Results: After a few complete battery cycles (same 160 mile drive we make often) the rated range tops out at 161. So while this appears to not be 'equal or better' than the battery replaced, it's pretty close. This is tempered with the HV battery failure happening days before the 8 year...

    90D "Not safe to drive," says Tesla: Battery overvoltage BMS_w098. Now what?

    Good question. The 90D is set at "rated" which is what I've used prior to the HV battery replacement. FWIW the manufacture date on the 90D is October 2015 but pre-facelift. Consistently as we approached 100% SOC on trips, the rated range would display in the higher 260s - I recall seeing 268...

    90D "Not safe to drive," says Tesla: Battery overvoltage BMS_w098. Now what?

    Tesla just reported the repair as complete at 5:08am this morning. They were kind enough to put a 92% charge on the replacement battery. However at 92% the 'range' is reported to be 234 miles. The prior battery at 92% would report 254 miles 'range'. This suggests that the replacement...

    90D "Not safe to drive," says Tesla: Battery overvoltage BMS_w098. Now what?

    Well one first good step. The estimate for today's service visit suggests that it is a $0 HV replacement based on the diagnostics. In the past they'd always try to charge me $200 even when doing warranty repairs. So a better start than the last dozen visits on prior cars. However it also...

    90D "Not safe to drive," says Tesla: Battery overvoltage BMS_w098. Now what?

    Thanks. Well, let's hope I can report back some good news and that Tesla *actually* does the right thing.

    90D "Not safe to drive," says Tesla: Battery overvoltage BMS_w098. Now what?

    Thanks @beatle, and agreed that seems sensible. But in theory, could the BMS cut out that entire section, reducing the battery capacity and thus rendering it 'within specs?' "The person who told you that wasn't qualified to interpret the code." "Oh the BMS is causing the overvoltage, so the...

    90D "Not safe to drive," says Tesla: Battery overvoltage BMS_w098. Now what?

    Our 90D (2015 Model S) shut down at the supercharger 200 miles from home with a list of errors. Tesla reps at mobile service and at the local service center said the car, "was not safe to drive" to tow it, and that the errors indicated that one of the cells was overvoltage. Now I went...

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    Good to know. I has suspected the Max as reported there is just for the highest cell in the pack. So if just one cell is 4.198, it's not capped? Interesting indeed. Thanks.

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    Capped or not? This is my 'new' 85D 2015 Model S at 100% SOC. Cell voltage 4.188 average at 100% SOC. I wonder if we know a number where Tesla will agree it's capped. Seems to max out at 250 miles rated range. I didin't get to experience the change with the update, so I'm not sure what...

    Got it. Thanks. It seems we can view the settlement document here: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.345967/gov.uscourts.cand.345967.49.0.pdf If these were Tesla's statements in depositions, they appear to be false. "Tesla’s data show that 1,743 Model S vehicles in...

    In Rasmussen v. Tesla, Inc.

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    Right with you on that. My 2013 P85 was 265-268 mile range at 100% before the infamous software update capped it down to 238 at 100%. Here in December 2021, I'm still at 238 miles at 100%, charging takes about 60% longer, and the most recent treat: between 12-25 miles vampire loss each and...

    Why can my doors open when the key is out of range?

    ^^^^^ Makes me feel a little better. :)

    Why can my doors open when the key is out of range?

    That feature seemed elusive. However I DID find "Walk Away Lock" was not set. Surprising if that is default. Either way, problem solved and it was 'obvious' Thanks for the help.

    Why can my doors open when the key is out of range?

    I'm sure this is a head-smack obvious issue. The other month I leaned against my '13 Model S doors and the handles presented. I figured my wife left a key in the garage. Nope. They keys were on the other side of the house, along with my phone, certainly more than 30 feet away. It's...

    silverp85+ Same thing just happened to my 2013 P85. After installation of 1025598-00-P in April 2017, it feels about 20% weaker. Were you able to resolve? -Michael
