Hi all,
I had a good search here and across the Internet as a whole, but didn't see anything quite like this.
In June, the family ICE car was destroyed in a flood and we decided to replace it with a Model 3. The waiting list at the time was stretching into 4+ months and with only one family car (now written off and undrivable) we were stuck in an insurance-provided rental that simply wouldn't stretch that long!
Anyway we found a 5,000 mile Model 3 LR with the acceleration boost available immediately for pretty much the same price as a brand new model, and given our time constraints decided to buy it.
With long day trips and a couple of long weekends away, we've put a little over 2,500 miles on it since picking it up with a combination of short and long trips.
One one of the trips I decided to charge to 100% at a supercharger, but charging literally never finished. We sat with the charge *showing* 100% but never "completing" for over 25 minutes before giving up and driving on with an indicated range of 299 miles.
I tried unplugging the charger and plugging it back in again, forcing a "shut down" from the screen, making sure the apps weren't connecting and keeping the car alive, all to no avail.
After that trip, I went through the palarva of a "BMS reset", letting the SoC get down to 6% and then supercharging to 100%.
The same happened again - charging never finished. It trickled down to 1kW (on a supercharger) but never finished.
The following weekend I did another BMS reset (for whatever that's actually worth), letting the charge get down to 1% this time and the same thing happened again. This time I waited 30 minutes with SoC showing 100% but never finishing, trickling at 1kW.
The Tessie app thinks the battery capacity is actually getting worse:
I do understand that range and even SoC to an extent is an "educated guess" but has anyone else had the problem where their car just never completes charging?
FWIW, there are no warning messages at all, the car is completely standard on 18" Aero wheels, and has been Supercharged five times (twice to 80%, thrice to 100%, two of those as part of the "BMS reset") since I bought it. The rest of the time it charges off level 1 (110v) in my garage. I do not leave it plugged in all the time, instead charging to 80% and using it to ~50% before plugging it in again.
Any thoughts?
Cheers!
