Hello all,
I have a 2013 MS 85 and recently upgraded to the MCU 2. As soon as I got the upgrade completed I received a call from them saying it’s ready to be picked up but that the charge level is now capped at 52%. Needless to say, I was LIVID. They basically told me that I had an underlying problem with my battery and it is now capped to “preserve” the battery. As you can imagine, this was difficult to take in. They explained that the MCU1 didn’t have the tech to detect the problem in the battery like the MCU2 does and will preserve it. It’s $13k for a new battery out of warranty. The next day it went down another 10%! They said it was an adjustment period to figure out what is safe but recommends a new battery pack.
I honestly don’t know what to believe anymore with Tesla. Love the car but not sure what to do now…anyone else have this problem after MCU2 upgrade? Really crazy to think that I had a perfectly running car one day that would get a full charge, but 4 hours later get charge limit cut in half. willing to explore 3rd party options in Northern CA. Thank you all!
