That has nothing to do with this. He said it's a 2014 car. In 2014, they still had not started doing the software limited battery thing. Please stop.
There is no such thing as a software locked 2014 60. Don’t confuse him further.
What does this have to do with anything?

How long have you owned it, how many miles have you put on it, and what did it charge to when you purchased it?I have not owned the car since new.
. ThisIf the prior owner left the car sitting around at 100% or very low charge for extended periods of time, it would have a detrimental effect on the battery pack's capacity. Tesla's battery management technology is actually some of the best out there--for example, I have a '13 P85 with 115K miles on it and only have ~6% loss. As others have said, your 17% loss is an outlier. Has service actually checked your pack out or is the comment noted in the initial post from a phone call? With that kind of loss, I would ask service to check for some kind of defect--I think they can do that remotely.
I appreciate the verbal scolding and the implication of how dumb it was to not let it fully charge. I am not sure where to begin with this comment.Easy they could have set it to charge to 100% all the time and left it fully charged. That causes excessive degradation, as does leaving it near 0%. Excessive heat, or cold, can also cause issues.
That is why almost everyone checks the range at a 100% charge to get an idea of what state the battery is in when they are buying a used Tesla.
Thank you for the reply and I have tried that for a week now ... no improvement. What if I need 190 miles out of the pack? It’s either a bad battery or rediculous amount of time needed to build to its full charge. Either way .... it’s bad
Charging to Max capacity does not ruin the battery. Charging the battery to 100% frequently, and then letting it sit there, particularly when it is hot out can cause increased degradation. That is not the same thing as ruining it. The user should be smart enough to understand the ramifications of charging to 100%.Next I’m being told by some in this forum how incredibly smart and effective the battery management system is. Really? So smart that charging it to max capacity ruins it. If it we’re smart maybe it shouldn’t let the user perform a full charge repeatedly if the system predicts battery damage.
Once again, It does not become 'damaged' it increases the degradation rate. Tesla clearly states this in numerous locations.In addition if the car is left left in the heat and/or if charged to 100% frequently it becomes damaged.

So in summary... Tesla themselves (the Westmont IL. Serice Center - Chris S. to be very specific) claimed the car is in good health... when it’s not (but the average consumer is supposed to know). In addition if the car is left left in the heat and/or if charged to 100% frequently it becomes damaged. Got it! Kinda feel sorry for the owners in Florida with long commutes.
Thanks
I think you will find that people here are willing to give with their time to help new owners understand things, and provide advice, but do not respond well to hyperbole or when the poster is deliberately being obtuse.So in summary...

Yep... it does.The car even tells you after a few days of charging to 100%. (As a reminder to bump it back down if you don't need it.)
No question people have been helpful however I can pick up on the very obvious bend. It’s akin to joining CrossFit, getting injured and have every non injured crossfitter claim “it’s not the workout ... it’s you... you did it wrong”. Nevermind the mounting evidence that the workout is inherently dangerous.I think you will find that people here are willing to give with their time to help new owners understand things, and provide advice, but do not respond well to hyperbole or when the poster is deliberately being obtuse.
No one has been able to account for Tesla giving the car a clean bill of health before I bought the car (hence the heading “False Advertising).
If the car has a clean bill of health from Tesla themselves, then why should I expect the pack to charge to such an unacceptable level?
