Remote S shows I only have 77kWh battery on my P90DL!

As the title states, not sure if they is accurate or not. I own a 2016 MX P90DL and have 41k miles, the Remote S app shows I have a 77 kWh battery. I understand about battery degradation but does this seem correct?

Yeah, folks love their badges - it's hilarious how upon virtually every SC meeting Tesla owners shuffle around to the backside to see what their new friend is driving (like dogs meeting in the park :D) - but those numbers are not a true representation of what is inside the pack.

except in the 100 packs! these are ~102 kWh capacity with about 98.5 kWh usable
 
Actual battery pack capacities when new... Tesla’s hacked Battery Management System exposes the real usable capacity of its battery packs

Now the data is directly from Tesla’s software and not a calculation based on the capacity of cells from a tear down of a pack.
He gathered similar data from other Tesla models. Here’s a list he sent to Electrek:


  • Original 60 – ~61 kWh total capacity, ~58.5 kWh usable.
  • 85/P85/85D/P85D – ~81.5 kWh total capacity, ~77.5 kWh usable
  • 90D/P90D – ~85.8 kWh total capacity, 81.8 kWh usable
  • Original 70 – ~71.2 kWh total capacity, 68.8 kWh usable
  • 75/75D – 75 kWh total capacity, 72.6 kWh usable
  • Software limited 60/60D – 62.4 kWh usable
  • Software limited 70/70D – 65.9 kWh usable
As you can see, sometimes the rounding is actually in Tesla’s disadvantage on total capacity, but it’s never the case for usable capacity.
