Hey all,
Just picked up my car last Thursday. Haven't installed a viable home charging solution yet. With that said, the first issue I noticed was on Friday morning.
I plugged the car in to charge and was greeted with a message that said the battery needed to be warmed and charging speed will be reduced. No worries, I figured it needs to warm as it was around 50 deg. F that evening.
The car never charged at 12 amps for more than a minute at a time. Most of the time spent plugged in, it was between 3 and 5 A, with the battery warming message showing up nearly every five minutes.
That evening, I took the car for a 100-mile drive at near highway speeds. I noticed that I did not have regen braking the entire trip. Odd, but again, called it a cold battery and moved on.
I tried supercharging that night and got normal charging speeds. The next morning (was at girlfriend's with no charger) I left the car at the supercharger to get around 80%. It was plugged in for nearly an hour and only got around 30% range. Still no regen braking.
Odd. I had set the charger as the destination, and the car didn't precondition. Later that day, we went back to the charger but this time the battery preconditioned. I noticed I had regen on the drive there, and charging speeds were as expected.
The drive home the next day was perfect, regen working at full capacity.
Yesterday, a 70 deg. F day, I had no regen in the afternoon. This morning (50 deg. F overnight) no regen and battery warming alerts. I have even set various times throughout the day as scheduled departures, with no help in resolving this.
Am I doing something wrong or is there a fault somewhere in my car?
EDIT: charge is at 70% (limit 70%) and currently plugged in.
