Maximum battery charge level reduced

[Droschke]

I disagree. Two reasons.

1) The worry is, they just shut the battery off. I still haven’t had an explain as to why the battery stopped charging. I feel like my car is like an iPhone. They just modify the battery..

2) with the numbers, $17k for a replacement battery. My Tesla has 96k. And the battery failed. That’s not very good... This isn’t worth it to me. I’d rather own a ICE that can go north of 150k miles.

If battery cost were less... it would be a different story.

For #1, the safety, I strongly believe.
For #2, I totally agree. Not worth it.

Update on my battery replacement.


battery replace with
1120019-01-B

this is the same battery size i previously had. App is showing me max charge is 186. Car is still at the service center. Only took 3 days, It is ready for pick up.

 

[Dreaminofsurf]

Another important fact. It was free. Invoice says $0 owed. So that’s nice

Just picked up my car... it had 40miles range.. so i am charging at the dealer.
Just noticed a massive bubble on the center of my screen that was not there when i dropped the car off. Going to ask them What happened.

not sure if there is anything you can do. But frustrating there is a big bubble on my screen now

Could mean a screen replacement but check for a screen protector first.

Has the bubble around the outside been there all along? (It looks huge and normally wouldn't happen in a short period of time.) This is a common failure of the older screens.

 

[AmpedRealtor]

Get ready to spend more money...

 

[Dreaminofsurf]

The bubble on the outside was already there.. was a little smaller. Attached how it was before Tesla service.
I also received a quote to replace the screen, $500. $550 with tax

That's what I was referring to when I said the best place to have an issue... you are in Silicon Valley with a bad battery, but your battery is under warranty. A 3 day turnaround likely would only happen in California, perhaps only in Silicon Valley.

Replace the screen for $500? Heck yeah. Even if you were to go back to a gas car, $500 is worth the increase in value to sell the car.

Yikes. I have heard that when this happens the liquid that used to be in the LCD is leaking out below the MCU into the shelf area under the center display. And that said liquid is a gooey mess to clean. Might want to put some towels or something back there if you decide to wait to repair it.

Update*

Spoke with the service center and after filing a compliant with customer service for lack of response or transparency for my vehicle, the battery pack I'm getting is: 1088815-01-D

Does anyone have any experience with this particular pack? It appears to be a later version of the 85kwh pack that's remanufactured.

Regardless of the pack version, it should have the fix to prevent the Maximum Battery Charge Level Reduced error.

Thanks everyone for sharing about your experiences with this issue. I just received the error today on my 2014 P85+ w/ 63k miles. I scheduled a mobile service appointment for 3/19 and hope Tesla decides to replace with the 90kwh battery like they have for some others. I've had this car just over a year after purchasing used from Tesla and have never got the range that it was rated at. Hoping this might fix that too so I could take it on a road trip.

I had contacted Tesla about the airbag and memory recalls and they said I would be contacted but should make sure my software was on 2020.48.12 or newer but mine was showing 2020.24.6.11 and I don't remember getting an update for quite some time. To force the software update they told me to reboot the screen by holding down the scroll buttons and powering off the car through safety and security menu. After restarting the car with the brake is when the "Maximum Battery Charge Level Reduced" error began to display.

Current battery part number 1014114-00-D

One thing all should do is to have good records of the state of the old battery.

Of course, if you tell them you have SMT or Teslafi, they won't accept that, might even blame the apps for the failure!

One trick is to use the Tesla data. In your account section, there is a record of the KW added at every charge.

If you can show a recent SuC of xx Kw corresponded to a given percentage added, they can't argue with that...OK, they will, but maybe not for long.

Hold on, where can I find this info?

First, not easy to find. Been in the Tesla community 3 years and just ran across it this week..I will use the excuse I never thought to check because I have FUSC.

Go to your Tesla account, log in..

Select history

You will see all your SuC activity since you bought the car, regardless of whether you have FUSC or not.

In December 2018, in halcyon days when I could not imagine the 'gates, I added 47 KwH, 27 to 87 % SoC in 45ish min, no less, per Teslafi.

So doing the math, that should be about 47/0.60=78.3KwH.

Leaning over the shoulder of a mobile tech recently, I saw ToolBox shows my EPA consumption is 290Wh. Yes, I got a pic of that.

So, 78.3/0.290=270RM. This agrees with my display and Teslafi at the time to within a mile or so.

To document the SoC, take a pic each time you charge,if you think you pack is dodgy.

Hope this is useful.

Hi!
The only entries I can find there are related to "Idle Fee", no other charging session since I've purchased my S 85 in November 2015 from Tesla with FUSC. Maybe this is related to the region?
Over the course of my usage I looked into the "History" some times, just to be sure not to miss anything I just logged in and checked, nothing else than idle fees.

Actually, I recall to ask how to see a history of SuC charging sessions in order to calculate total usage for tax purposes Tesla Support stated, that there are no such data, only for a limited amount of time for diagnostic but everything older will be de-personalized. IMHO the lack thereof and additional metrics was the cause of services like smt, teslafi or teslalog (R.I.P.) being developed.

BR! Oaito.

Funny it doesn't let me down load anything before 2017.... Thanks for the info.

I bought mine in 2018, so I can't speak from experience before that..
