battery

I haven't seen any threads or spreadsheets tracking this for Model 3 yet. So here's mine: Please post with "High Range vs. Low Range" checked and included in the screenshot, as above. Is there a spreadsheet that Model S or Model X owners are using that we can use as a template? If you...

Hi all, Like many from Texas, I'm in the boat that my car has been manufactured since mid-July, and I'm still waiting to take delivery as my delivery dates are rescheduled, and then rescheduled again. One of the thoughts I had was what is happening to the battery in my car sitting on a lot...

Hi all, I have replied on different posts and thought it might be good idea to have a centralised place to put all info on how to read CAN bus from an Arduino UNO. The advantage of Arduino UNO + CAN BUS MCP2515 is that it's very cheap, you can get all components for around 10$ if not less...

Ok what am I doing wrong? I knew I was going to be running from softball game to soccer to softball to soccer today so I put the charge at Max. Put it on chill mode, range mode, and 60% was on highway (75mph average). I know going 75mph causes much more drain, had to do it because of the time...

I've experimented with a few ways to reduce phantom drain, which was an issue when I first got my car in June (I don't have charging at home). Generally, since the 2018.24 version of software (i'm on 2018.28 now), the drain has declined to <1% (1-3 miles) overnight. However, I've discovered...

Hi everyone, Considering getting a Model 3. I’m aware the batteries loose efficiency when cold, but here’s my situation... I rent an apartment and have outdoor parking only. Also, I can’t install a plug, no outlets outside (not even 120V) and I don't own the place so I can't really modify it...

Hello guys! I'm looking for used Tesla model X from a salvage auction, and I'm pretty worried about fact that cars staying unplugged for 4-8 month. So there is a questions, can (!) hight voltage(main, not 12V) battery completely die for staying unplugged for half of year? Searching for this...

I love the car, it's faster than expected. Solidly built. Intuitive, if you play with the menu screen while it's parked first. Definitely needs a home charging station installed (at least a 240V plug). Here's a detailed review after picking up the 2018 Model 3, and the first 300 miles driven...

Hello Tesla peoples! Enjoying my month-old Model X 100D, and just returned from a trip where the car sat idle in the garage while we were away. Each day there was a loss of 3.5 KWh and about 11 miles of range. Is this normal? Should the car go into 'sleep' mode? I have pre-conditioning turned...

I picked up my MS 75D three weeks ago today. Charged it to 100% overnight as I’ve got a long trip today. When i woke up this morning the full charge is only 251 but I thought it should be 259. Car only has 1100 miles on it charged almost exclusively on 110 outlet for first week and then NEMA...

A sTesla seems to be increasingly distinct in using cylindircal cells, are others making a mistake by mostly using Prismatic cells eg Jaguar iPace? Or is Telsa committed to cylindical cells for historical reasons and reluctant to change solely due to tooling setup costs? what are the...

Thanks to Teslafi.com I have data from my car for the last 80k miles. A new feature they added recently is the 'battery report'. It shows the rated range over time thus giving you a great way to see your battery degradation. Here is a screen shot of my car. It's a 4 year old Model s 85 with...

So try to follow along with this napkin math. I'm going to define some well known facts to start: A. 90D pre-refresh nominal capacity 85.8kwh B. 90D pre-refresh usable capacity 81.8kwh C. 4kwh brick protection, cannot use (A minus B) D. Watts per mile used to calculate EPA rated range for...

I don't think there are many of us, but I drive 1,000 miles a week. I passed the 200,000 mileage point, so I thought I would share info on my small worn-out 60 battery. My FULL charge is 170: My 80% charge is 151: I drive fast, but my average usage is 352 Watt Hours/mile: I charge...

My roadster had the dreaded fault come up today...Battery service required. The battery was at 150 miles. My wife had to manually unlock the car door. She noticed the faults but still was able to drive it. Luckily she was able to drive it home without any issues. I plugged it in when she got...

I wanted to know how my efficiency compares to others and what the distribution of efficiency look like among a relatively large sample of users. Screenshot is attached It turns out that distribution has the following properties: Most users get an efficiency of ~85-100% The most frequent...

I bought my used S85 with the intention of having it for 15 or 20 years. That means that, while Tesla have done a good job at putting in systems to reduce battery degradation regardless of user habits, I am keen to do everything in my power to minimise the degradation. Am I right in thinking...

Hi, I'm hoping a Model 3 owner can answer a question for me, which I unfortunately haven't been able to find a direct answer to (as I still don't own an electric car, but am in line for a Model 3). I've seen many counts of annoyed owners charging depleted, cold-soaked batteries at...

I am selling off my pack from a 2017 90D with 3,600 miles on it. This was in a freshwater flood and had some condensation in it when I opened it up. Reads 387v out of 400v. It has not been charged for 6 months and you can see the voltage reading by module in attached picture. I will send...

Hello all, I have a Model S 90D that was shipped to me in December of 2017. At that point the range was sold to me and marketed as 296 miles and I would top off at either 296 or even 297 at times. Per everyone's suggestions, I would rarely charge it to 100% as to preserve the longevity of the...

Over the past week or so I've noticed my Regen is a little stronger than usual. It's been really cold where I live, and after I precondition for 45 minutes or so (with the new battery warming feature) and when I leave, I still have the dotted lines for limited Regen (pic attached) but it seems...

Maybe someone already did this. Anyway, for those interested: Here are some graphs I've build with the same algorithm as the animated battery recharge on Tesla's Supercharger web page (I looked at how the JavaScript code updates the green battery): Supercharging: SoC and power with time Power...

See attached picture for VIN. I have a complete 85 kW battery pack for sale. Before I open up and sell the individual modules I wanted to see if there was any interest in purchasing the whole pack. The 85 kW packs have 16 modules that sell for 1375 to 1399 each on eBay and EV wests web...

My daily schedule has me flipping and flopping back to my house 2 times a day. Usually I leave the House with 70% or so, then I’ll get back with 40% or so, plug it up and charge to 70% again, get back home and let it charge back to 70% for the next day. So I’m going through 2 plugups a day to...

I have a 2017 MS 60D, and have some questions about how software limiting the battery is done, and what it really means.. 1) Since the battery is actually a 75, how is the capacity reduced? I have heard two different stories about this. One, that a module is 'turned off', and that they do...

My battery cooling system seems to run constantly. If my car is sitting in the garage and I walk by with the fob and the door handles come the cooling system starts running and runs for hours before shutting off. When I come back from a drive regardless of length or outside temperatures the...

I was just curious if anyone has had their 75 or 75D delivered recently in August? I was reading that there have been a few 75s delivered with 85 batteries in Norway (link below). Article was from July. They are seeing 85 batteries locked at 75 kWh. Hoping they are putting the 85s in recent...

So I've had my vehicle for about a month. I plan to keep it for a long time (hopefully 10-20 years) and am very interested in preserving the battery as long as possible, as I'm sure many others are. I've read a ton on this and have found that the general consensus is 50-90 percent for day to...

Hopefully everyone is waking up to this article Tesla Model 3: Exclusive first look at Tesla’s new battery pack architecture

After watching the livestream and thinking about it, does anyone else think the quoted range is not at Max capacity? 85 or 90% perhaps? Considering there is no badging and it seems they are marketing this vehicle to folks who might not be like a lot of us and examine every detail of the battery...

So I'm one of the fabled apartment dwellers without a charger at home. Or at least I was until last week where we finally had four chargers installed in the parking garage, which makes me incredibly happy! After almost 8 months, this is a great relief. Because of this lack of home charging...
