Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

Even if we get the lost capacity back, we still to know if our batteries are safe.
PS:
Let's see how quickly the usual bunch would disagree

I am hoping they get it down to $8K. I think it may be possible since there are claims of under $100/kWh battery production. Tesla is apparently already doing replacements with refurbished/reconditioned batteries, which wouldn't make sense for them if that weren't cheaper that using new ones.
If Tesla cars are going to be considered to have useful lives longer than 8 years they are going to have to do something about this. If they can't be expected to last longer than that they are surely going to die in the marketplace once word is spread.

Yes, this would seem to better fit a designation of damaged rather than degraded. I think that implies a real distinction.
Wow, that's a refresher. Thank you.
We are not used to be addressed as such. Usually, an un-impacted owner walks in with an overbearing self-esteem evidenced by a superior manner toward inferiors, gives us a lecture, belittle the hardship, or heck, even call us dumb (the original post has been deleted, but not the responses).

Regrettably, I've been advised to stay out of this issue.
Suffice it to say, I'm less than convinced they're going to do the right thing here... but, unfortunately I just don't have the resources to waste defending myself should Tesla actually decide to try something stupid against me on this.
Best of luck with the class action case.

The BS parts in bold smells so bad that my laptop fan came on.
I would gladly pay 15,000 for a new battery (my slightly X75d car has only 40k miles but would love to get a 100kwh battery)
I am not surprised at this since a law suit is pending and just makes me think this is a more serious issue than what is being said.

That in and of itself says a lot.
There is no emoji for depressing
Advised by whom?
I’m not so familiar with the U.S. legal system, but how could Tesla impose that?
There’s the first amendment...

I think it’s implied that wk057 has people inside Tesla engineering that communicate with him off the record and if he wants to keep those communications channels open he should not wade to deep into this one.

I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that one of the main reasons I've been following this thread is to see your conclusions. Thanks for for all you've been able to share with us up to now.
No range recovery after last release. Not whatsoever!! Installed 2019.28.2 320fba0. Charging time also is infinite. Not able at all to charge 100%. Stopped before hitting the end. They make you want to give up. I never expected Tesla to treat their loyal customers this way at all.
Don't give up, Yesterday (after 2 days with 2019.28.2), I managed to charge to 100% for the first time in a long time! This was from 24%.

Tesla doesn't want wk057 talking, either, as they have shut him down. It's quite clear Tesla are trying to keep the lid on something potentially damaging.
Karen, I'm afraid I have to concur with others in this thread. You are not affected and lack a basic understanding of the issue. It's time consuming, and frankly annoying, to try to re-educate someone like you every time you post the nonsense. Let me create a simple example for you that might help. If you still fail to see the problem, it may be best for you to bow out of the discussion because your contributions are not helping move the discussion forward for affected owners.
Toyota makes a million gasoline tanks for their Camry. 10,000 of those tanks had a small weakness at the top, which escaped QC, that led to the development of a crack over time which could cause fuel leakage under certain circumstances. The next time you bring your Camry for an oil change, service alters your gas tank without your permission and reduces its capacity by 5 gallons. This keeps the gas from getting near the top of the tank, where it might leak and catch fire.
When you notice that you can't seem to get the drivable range you had before, or the on board computer estimates a lower range as a result, you inquire with Toyota and they tell you that they limited the capacity of your tank to improve its longevity. Are you okay with that? That's exactly what happened here.
How do I get my car to display this/
Smells like a coverup to me!
