7 years later what is your 100% on your 85kWh battery?

2013 (March) 85kWh with 112k miles. About 210 miles on a full charge. Original battery, A pack. Fair amount of Supercharging (not much the first couple of years because there weren’t any around, ha ha). She’s been a great car, but the warranty and service plan expired last March so I’ll likely get another, thinking about a Model Y next summer. I expect I’ll be coming back here more often to ask questions about the newer Tesla.

I will miss the free Supercharging, free data service, and having loaner cars brought to me.

6 Mar 2021 w/ 59909 miles, 234 rated miles (68.2 kWh NomFullPack)
29 Oct 2021 w/ 65000 miles, 225 rated miles. :(

Charge up to 70% every night, only super charge maybe 2-3 times a year.
It looks like it is going down pretty fast. I'm a bit surprised because you have very little miles. I had an 85 RWD and it had way more rage with 200k miles on it. After it got totaled I got a 2015 70D with 130k miles and my range is 219 miles. That's just a hand full of miles difference.

Canadian east coast early 2015 85D, 143k km or almost 89k miles, charges to 260 miles from 270 original rated. Pretty impressive for less than 4% degradation. Car has seen close to 50% Supercharging. Only downside is the limited speed these days

Wow, you have been away for a while, 7 years? See my stats in my Sig.

Charging speed, aka "Charge gate". Is a bummer, but I will see north of 90 kw at 30 SoC if I navigate to a Suc and plug into a V3 stall with a pack temp of 25 deg C or more...
 
  • Delivery date: Feb 2015 Model S 85 RWD, with the full range of 265 miles at that time.
  • The last full charge I did was in June 2018, still with 265 miles of range.
  • A year later, in May of 2019, Tesla voltage capped my battery with the 2019.16 OTA update.
  • Since May of 2019, I only charge to 50% (to avoid the fans/pumps running for hours) and the car has consistently been showing 118-120 miles of range at 50% (extrapolating to 236-240 at 100% ???).
  • The car has 47000 miles on the original 1014114-00-F battery.

Just a random note... my wife's first MS (85kW) was getting mid 250's when she traded for new - miles was around 180k

Kind of a bummer how fast this battery seems to be degrading. I was around 265 rated miles in 2019 with roughly 40,000 miles. I’m going to try a “recalibration” this week (let it go to <10% charge and full charge up to 100%) bit when I’ve tried that in the past, it made very little difference.

What is your nominal full pack reading and your cell voltage variation? I have about 200 rated miles on my car but it is a 70D and has about 160k miles. My nominal full pack is just about 57.0 kWh. My cell voltage variation from TM-spy is about 25 mv.
 
March 2015 P85DL with 128K miles. 71.7 kwh. 231 rated miles. Down 22 from brand new 253.

Although when I drive and supercharge on long legs, the estimated kwh capacity rises to 72.5 kwh.
I'm at the same range with similar mileage: 132K miles and 232 rated range miles. I had 256 rated back in April 2019; software update brought me down to 244 overnight, then took another jump down to 236 about 2 years later, and finally 232. It's odd that it's not a gradual degradation, but I wish I was tracking the battery health through ScanmyTesla or TM-Spy.

Not sure unfortunately because Tesla service removed my OBDII adapter and LELink2 bluetooth dongle the last time it was in for service. I didn't recognize it until recently. I might purchase another one soon just to get a better idea but from what I've seen, the nominal full pack is in line with the rated range you see on the display (probably because they're just using the nominal full pack to calculate the range), so I suspect it's low. In some of my previous posts in this thread, I was posting the nominal full pack and it was trending down consistently with the range. I don't remember the cell voltage variation but from what I recall (1+ year ago), everything seemed fairly close; at least no cells were drastically low or high.
 
I had my 85 pack upgraded back in May 2023 but it was still in great condition I just wanted the 100 pack but I digress. Before replacing it I was at 232 miles when charged to 100% that was around 172k miles on that being the stock pack from 2014.
Thanks for the info. May I ask what is your 100% on the 100 you upgraded to and what is now your peak charge rate when below 20%? Cheers
