Tesla Motors Club
Scenario: I go on a trip for two weeks and leave my car plugged in to charge in Standard mode. The timer is set for the charging to start at 2am nightly. I come back home and the car is fully charged but seems to have 10 more ideal miles of range than it normally does with my daily top-offs (normally 175 but now showing 185 miles). CAC has also increased by five (normally 146 but now at 151).
Symptom: I take the car for a drive and immediately notice there's no regen and there's also no dash "Regen" indicator on either. Checking logs, it appears the car got a slight top-off each day and the ESS inched up near 95% charge. I end up having to drive the car down to approximately 100 miles of remaining range before regen starts to come back into effect. I assume the car is having sheet balancing issues so I proceed to do two full power cycles (down to 8% then back up to 80% 2x). No luck. Even now, a month later, I still have to drive the car down to 100 miles remaining before regen returns. Worse, the CAC has dropped to 144 with 172 ideal miles after each charge.
Question: Is there a way to recalibrate the system so I'm not without regen for the first 1/3 - 1/2 of my range?
