So I took a drive up to Big Bear Lake on Sunday. Noticed some odd behavior. First off, I navigated to a SC near the bottom of the mountain to to of a bit before driving up. As soon as I entered the SC in the nav, preconditioning started. Its nearly an hour away. Is that normal behavior. It remained preconditioning the entire drive there. Outdoor temp started at about 67F. Is this normal?
On the way back down the mountain, Regen maintained the battery level, but near the end where it was relatively flat for a bit, it bumped up slightly. I would have expected it to go up during steeper downhills.
Lastly, during the drive home, I kept seeing the battery percentage go up at times even though the drive is fairly flat. I was monitoring in percentage at this point, so it seemed odd. Not sure if it was somehow picking up a higher state of charge as the battery was discharging. This is less of a concern, but just something I observed.
Got home with about 5% left so I let it sit for a few hours then plugged in. Set it to charge to 100%. At first it indicated it would reach 300. Then after a bit of time, started 283. Then settled at 273 which is what I woke up to and had timed it so it had at least three hours of time to sit after charging before I left for work. I've never seen the charge limit change while charging. Tessie indicates 271 is my max range. I had another post earlier this year where the max range dropped abruptly from some 287-289 to about 267. It's gone up a tad since, but not significantly. Weather has finally started to get somewhat warm here in socal.
When I look at the overall behavior, it almost seems like one of the battery temperature sensors is reading low. The near hour preconditioning was particularly concerning as I don't think I've ever seen it come on that early. But I don't supercharger often. Anyone else see anything like this before?
I'm ordering myself an OBD2 adapter and going to check it with Scan my Tesla but it may be a while before it arrives. Just trying to get some thoughts in the meantime. TIA.
