Hi All,
I hope to pick the brains of some of the more knowledgable members here to get a better understanding of how the MS battery pack has evolved from 2012 to now
My understanding is as follows
tesla has always offered 2 packs. A small 350v pack and a larger 400 volt pack
the small pack started out at 40/60kwh then grew to 75 kWh pack (software limited at times to 60 or 70kwh). There are rumors that the current small pack is actually a software limited 85kw pack, still 350v I assume
The large pack started out as 85kwh, grew to 90 and finally the current 100kwh pack, all putting out 400v, which explains the higher performance of larger pack cars, even though they are heavier. (I know that uncorked 75d's have similar 0-60 times, however, my understanding is that the acceleration drops off a lot faster at highway speeds compared to non P 90's and 100's, please correct me if I'm mistaken)
What I want to understand better is what has changed in the packs themselves...
Questions that I have:
Initial cars were sold with "A" packs, eventually I assume they were replaced with "B" packs. I have no idea what the difference is. For example... What is the actual difference in the 85kwh pack in a 2012 85 and a 2015 85? Furthermore, aside from number of cells, what is the difference between the a 2012 85 pack and a 2018 100kwh pack?
Why are people down on the 90kwh packs? Is there a problem with these batteries that was rectified with the 100kwh pack?
is there any difference between the packs in P and non P cars?
Is the max power available from an 85kwh pack at 100% SOC the same as a 100kwh pack at 85%SOC? Inversely, would a P85DL at 100%SOC perform the same as a P100D at 85% SOC?
Thanks
