Thanks that is a very generous offer and very much appreciated.
If you have some IT skills you can run Teslamate on your own hardware/cloud account to capture the same data. Negative power numbers is power recorded going back into the battery. You can use any of TeslaFi/Tessie/Teslamate to capture the actual regen figures.
It's generally the opposite, regen is weakened when the battery is cold as the cells are unable to accept high rates of charge when cold. The 2021 M3 should have a heat pump to keep the battery at a suitable temperature so a hot day shouldn't impact regen.
They can certainly get that data when troubleshooting but I doubt they want to be pre-emptively recording every trip by every Tesla vehicle out there and responsible for holding that data.
A side by side car comparison is indisputal data.Today, watering my garden, a penny dropped. I believe I been goosed!
I was thinking about the different analysis tools out there, I have been looking into them on the web a bit, and the Tessie/Teslafi apps and the output they can provide.
So, I now must believe Tesla must have the same tools either;
- built in,
- or they have bought the same tools we can, from the internet
- or had the same companies modify them for their use.
If Tesla don’t have an equivalent standard of equipment, as a minimum, I would be thinking they are crazy.
They keep referencing their online analysis, so why not show the physical output to clients, by printout or on a digital screen. Why not simply provide me with a copy of the before and after data, back in Sept/Oct.
Thinking aloud, as a policy, wouldn’t it be best to simply show customers the physical data, provide a print out, or provide a digital output via email for the clients records.
And then sit down with the client (if they are local to a service centre, or by zoom) explaining the output from the vehicles data analysis. This would be a very good way to build customer buy in, and trust.
At the moment, all I can assume is that they don’t want to provide the data, because I may actually have a problem, and they do not want to fez up.
Again I have to ask, why! I can only believe, they simply don’t have a fix for the problem.
Yeah! You guessed it, I watch too many Bond movies, ahh such is life
If I provide my own data extraction, would Tesla dispute it’s authenticity, just as they presently dispute my memory and experiences today. Is there a Tesla certified data extraction tool? (No need to answer, just a rhetorical question)
I guess I just don’t know what is what, anymore.
But I do believe it is now appropriate that I get a data analysis tool, as suggested. This tool will help me baseline my thinking, as things arise in the future. To give me more confidence in myself.
I really hope everyone has a great new year! And I cannot thank you enough for your input.
Punchbuggy... I think we live very close to you (and those speed bumps!). I seemed to have lost my regen for months on the M3SR+ but got it back with the new update and loving it once again. I also had a new tyre put on, but now charge to 100% and still get the regen.
Best to gross error check your logs before you post them @zarbs. No way that one reflects reality. Unless you were driving at 370kmh?? Driving time is 6 minutes or 1/10 of an hour and distance covered is 37km. Do the maths. You said the drive was all steep downhill, whereas recorded altitude loss is a mere 40 metres with an uphill section for almost a third of it ??
I can't see how that can be the case. Different diameter tyres (like when you put on a spare) will give error messages about the anti-lock braking, but the difference has to be fairly pronounced - a lot more than just a good tyre on one side and a worn on the other. I have two front tyres in very different states of wear right now (due to a replacement when on a road trip) - regen is unaffected and the car computer copes without complaint.
This maybe of interest. I just noticed this clause on the Tesla service invoices. It’s part of the “ conditions “ clause at the bottom of the invoice.
