wk057 can hopefully answer your questions and address your assertions.
It was a brand new pack from Tesla installed into a crashed P85D last year. But they couldn't repair it, so the ins co totalled the car and sent it off to auction with a brand new 90kWh pack installed but never used. So whatever new 90kWh packs Tesla was shipping out in 2019, is what I got.
I'm sure it's not a software limited 100kWh pack.
Hank's is 1088792-00-A (HWID 82). It's the V3 90 Ludicrous... best one to have besides a 100.
It's definitely not a limited 100. It's just the same cells in a 444-cell module configuration.
Also, upon further research, the pack in this thread can be ludicrous enabled, however it has higher throttling limits than the HWID 82 pack like Hank got. I'd expect it to degrade more quickly with ludicrous enabled. I'd probably suggest this pack only for non-ludicrous upgrades, still, but it is technically possible to enable it.
Yes, I know all about the V3 1088792-00-A pack as it was remarkable from the time I first got it to the the end even after losing 30kw due to excessive max power/launch mode.So the pack you currently have you can enable ludicrous? That was the one I first had, and yes ludicrous does degrade it a lot. But the one Hank got I abused and it was still putting up 0-60mph 1ft in 2.6 seconds consistently (2.8 0-60mph).
Anyways back to your pack. You’re saying you believe that it is potentially better than the 1088792-00-A battery? I understand not all batteries are the same as some are just better than others. Like what you’re stating, even though it’s not the best of the best V3 batteries it could just have better cells making it technically better. Which I’m sure you can see with a little iPhone jail***, to say in inconspicuous terms. If you could add ludicrous to it I would definitely be interested. And the pack I currently have is better than any P85D even with ludicrous for the most part. From 0-60mph to the 1/8 mile. Clearly having no more warranty would make me be very cautious with it but it makes sense for me as I have too much invested in my P85D to really sale it, as I am basically waiting for batteries to be much more attainable and affordable , ideally a 100 battery. It’s that or get another 2016.5 P90DL with the 92 battery to swap my interior into the P90DL. I would do it with a P100DL but the seats changed even with AP1 so I’m not sure it’s possible, I just assume it’s not.
But I would probably do this swap for sure if you can add ludicrous and you say it’s potentially better than the 92 V3. Obviously I trust your word as I know you understand the chemistry of these batteries as well as anyone.
When you say higher throttling limits what exactly are you referring too? The amount of amps when charging or the ability to have better performance? I know it will charge must faster regardless but please explain in more detail as I am getting more excited to do the swap as I hear more of these bonuses it has from you.
My 85 battery actually still does very well charging considering. I rarely use superchargers but I went to one recently that was a 72 max station and it was charging at 74 amps for awhile than slowly dropped to 73, 72, etc. I really never paid a ton of attention to the amps it gets while supercharging cause I never really use them much. But it will charge to around 246-248 at 100%. It was at 249 for awhile, this is also the 14 P85D which was supposed to get 242 mile of range at 100% SOC when new. Feel free to message me and let’s see what we can do.
Also Hank you need to do some test depending on how much you have already used Ludicrous/max battery cause I would love to see what it could potentially do. Like I said mine had already lost a good amount of kw when I actually bought a dragy. I only had PowerTools so I knew what it was getting new and than later when I could finally do accurate times. Also what range is it getting at 100% if you ever charge to it? Not what it shows it could potentially get at at 100% when it’s at 80%-90%. But when it’s been fully charged?
