Infinite Mile Battery Warranty [Now] Being Honored By Tesla [Issue Resolved]

Well, this is a circular thread if I've ever seen one. And still, no evidence has been presented to show this is anything other than battery degradation, something specifically NOT covered by warranty.
Without any new information, I'm going to have to believe Tesla knows what they're talking about.

Yeah, some people confuse actual range with rated range. My Performance Model 3 had 307 miles of rated range last time I charged it to 100% and I know very well how to use it all up in only 100 miles. That does not mean I should get a free battery.
Oooops, I can hear the circular arguments already starting to repeat.
209 was the rated range. 171 should have been the actual range given the conditions. Once again the car stopped at 139. Just trying to give people the facts again instead of misleading them with opinions. Once again I am just trying to put the word out about what has happened and what Tesla has done about it. Please don’t mislead people so I have to keep repeating the facts with this circular argument.Yeah, some people confuse actual range with rated range.

Hmart, I was looking at the pictures you posted and it showed that you drove 2 miles then parked before your long trip. How long did the car sit before you went on your trip? What was the SOC when you started the trip? The reason I'm asking because if your pack had truly only used the 50kw it's showing then there is no way that your total range could calculate at 209?

Just out of curiosity, how long have you worked for Tesla and just how many shares in the company do you own again?Yeah, some people confuse actual range with rated range.

We stopped at McDonald's for a couple of minutes. The kids were hungry. The SOC was 209 at our house. The SOC had been around there for months until last week when I took it in to Tesla. The estimated range now is at 200 on a 100% charge. When I picked it up from Tesla on Friday they said it was 212. 6% loss of battery capacity in just 2 days. I have emailed them again and waiting on a response.
Check the estimated range right when the car has completed charging to 100% and not the next day. If I understand what you wrote correctly, you had the 200 mile estimated range the following morning after the 100% charging had completed. It’s possible you could be losing estimated range from the vampire drain. Usually l lose 3-4 miles of range a day from vampire drain, but there have been days when I would lose 10-15 miles (ie, Phoenix AZ in summer or DC area in winter) due to vampire drain when it is very cold or very hot outside, even though I have both the precondition setting and over temperature settings turned OFF.

What? I've never worked for Tesla. I'm a private stock investor for the last 30 years, mostly retired (no need for more money) I have 200 shares of Tesla just for fun (very minor part of my stock portfolio). My opinion will not affect Tesla share price one iota. You are barking up the wrong tree, this has nothing to do with that.
I've never been a fan of people that I think are working the system for their own gain. I'm sure the OP will disagree that's what's going on here but I have to call it how I see it. I dislike selfishness and greed and that's what I see here because there is no other logical way to read this situation. I wasn't born yesterday. This is a story of someone publically lobbying for something they are not entitled to.

Another happy customer who got a new battery after it degraded down to 45 mile capacity over 113,000 miles in 7 years.
It's not about being stranded on the road or unable to charge.
The owner said it's a failure but actually, it's just that the operating range is now reduced to 45 miles. I little shorter range than a Nissan Leaf's but perfect for those who only need to commute 10 miles one way.

Dude in another thread just started got a refurb B pack (upgrade) from his blown 2012 original A pack, with 113k miles on the odo. No cost, under battery warranty.
So what's the issue here? Is there an issue.. ?
My worry factor is low.
My degradation with 150k km is less than 2% which has zero impact on my usage for the car.. pretty amazed with Tesla on these batteries.
Performance of the car is exactly the same as when I bought it. Not burning any extra oil, ha!

Yeah, they are the best batteries in the EV industry. The dude that had the blown pack, well, Tesla probably saw that his pack was bad. They are not shy about honoring their warranty, it's just that degraded packs are not covered under warranty. If they were, there would be no incentive to treat the battery well.
More the reason I think when Tesla says OP's battery is normal degradation, i tend to think they are right..
Besides OP has demonstrated that he could be a drama queen... or is it king..

I was only joking, I do understand that does not always come across in text, I probably should have added a "Haha" at the end!
