Just wanted to add my 10 cents regarding 85d battery pack. A couple points:
-I noticed that in recent months, we rarely get over 60 KW, except one time on a road trip it briefly went up over 110, but other times been getting as low as 40 kW at 30% SOC, even though it said pre-conditioning battery as the nav led us to the charger.
-having not charged the car to 100% in quite a while I finally did just that to ‘stretch its legs’ or whatever at a supercharger, and it appeared to continue charging for a long time after it reached 100% on the displays. Seems like evidence of some sort of software limiting gone wrong...then again MCU1 is a flawed piece of garbage so maybe just buggy?
-at 50-60% (and other) SOC am seeing the dashed yellow regen limit/warning even at 50-60°F, and getting the top end power dashed line/warning when hard accelerating.

IF they are indeed imposing these limits to run out the warranties and pass the buck to the consumer, I think that’s wrong. If there are limits they want to impose on new vehicles that’s fine, but these (even more expensive at the time) vehicles were delivered based on performance promises, and an 8 year unlimited mile battery warranty to boot. If early adopters were at first hesitant to speak ill of the promising upstart that was Tesla because of its important role in instigating the world’s transition to renewable transportation, that moment has passed. As the most valuable automaker in the world and its success assured, they should be rewarding their longest-term supporters by, at the very least, honoring the spirit of their original warranty.
