I just got a call from Tesla that they charged it to 100% overnight, and the battery is at 248 miles of rated range.
My S85 has also been...knee capped. How can I join the class action suit, please?/QUOTE]

Is a late 2014 P85 car considered an old 85 pack? I would think it’s one of the newest or most current 85 batteries around@swegman i 100% spot on with his assessment. I'm in the same position. My car has been capped and limited and downgraded in many ways and it affects my every day use negatively. Slower charging both at home and at the supercharger. Range taken away. Excsessive battery thermal management wastes energy and reduces range even more. Car shut down with 5 miles left (which it has never done before) reducing range even further. AC charging often stops before reaching it's set point.
All these things add up and make my car far less usable.
The BMS checks the battery for various conditions and decides when and by how much it limits the capacity and performance. At this point not all 85 cars are affected, but that is irrelevant because the underlying issues is true for all early battery cells. That means sooner or later all those car will be hit by the same limitations. If you are buying an old Tesla now that isn't affected, you will be down the line for sure. I would stay away from any Tesla other than 100/Long Range S/X or Model 3. Personally I'm not going to give Tesla any of my money until they stand behind their promise and warranty and fix my car.
Good advice to buy 100D instead of 85:s, but do you know, some people are budget constrained..
If you are on a budget I would still stay away from the old 85s. It looks like a good deal, but it isn't once you get hit by #batterygate. A low price isn't automatically a good deal.
Remember, regen has nothing to do with battery degradation. It is temperature based.
As another anecdotal data point, my car has 53k and charges to 251. I think supercharging speeds could be a little faster, but I can still manage over 100kw for a bit if my SoC is under 20%. This is on the latest software.
My advice is to check the individual car's stats before buying as not all 85kwh packs were affected.
What version of software are you on because my S85 is Nov 2014 117k miles and gets nowhere near your level of charging. 220 miles 100% charge, next to no regen now until you have driven a long way.
Is there an easy way to check the car's stats?
Hi Beatle!
Irrespective of temperature, my S85G has had a significant change in the last several weeks, regarding region. There is no regen occurring for some time after startup, which never hapened since I bought the 85S in 2014, ever, same environmental conditions. There is also a cap on regen, which I have not seen exceeded, which also NEVER occured since purchase.
+1 to this. I've been able to track regen behavior and temperature consistently with it.Scan my tesla. At the android app store page theres a link to where you can buy needed adapters. Worth every penny.
