In my case it did not take even 100 miles. I noticed it right after supercharging.
What had you supercharged up to?

Allow me to lump myself in…
2012 Model S Signature Edition — original 85 kWh pack w/~65k miles on it, went from ~76 kWH full charge as recently as a couple months ago to ~71 kWH a couple weeks ago. Just as troubling for me, if not moreso: whereas previously I could charge upwards of ~95% and still have full regen, now I start losing regen somewhere in the low-to-mid-80s — haven't quite narrowed it down yet.
Also potentially worth noting: I started seeing 60 kW max supercharging within the last month or so, though that spontaneously went away within the last week.
I have not supercharged, no. I charge at home. Is supercharging the trigger to this range loss?Have you supercharged since 16.2?
@faughtz Replying here to how you're going to approach service (didn't want to split the discussion here into the "battery report" thread I started).
1) It's not normal degradation regardless of their explanation. Normal degradation doesn't show range falling off the cliff.
2) The change in range is real. Your battery is not charging to 4.2 volts any more. You've done enough driving before and after the update to know that the range you had before is real and the loss of range you have now is also real and not just some sort of change in calculation.
3) Bring the scatter plot along with you that shows the range (y) vs miles (x) that includes hundreds of cars over many miles to show them what normal degradation is.
4) Bring your individual battery chart. Feel free to bring mine as a counter example of someone who is NOT yet on 16.2+.
5) Demand that they replace the battery with one that has a NORMAL amount of degradation. Tell them you'd be happy to accept a software fix instead that allows your battery to charge to 100% (4.2 volts).
Fleet scatter plot:
There are some outliers there because the plot includes cars that have bad batteries.
I agree with all of your thoughts above, except for the characterization that this is battery degradation. This is the result of a software change implemented to protect tesla. And remember the service people are stuck in the middle, and prob know far less than you (us). I posted some of my data in 44 above, and texts with tesla in 61 and 64.
I charged to 99% today and when I checked at 99% voltage was around 4.19, but after charging was complete after I left, I came back after 5 minutes and the voltage was 4.16 avg but still showing 99%.
Does that make sense? Are the batteries just settling?
I don't know, that metric has never been particularly useful to me; it's seldom accurate in my region — given fluctuations in terrain and temperature, and I almost never charge to 100% anyway (seldom charge above 90%, except the last couple times I supercharged it went from ~25 to 90% before I was finished with my meal — which is much quicker than usual, barely cresting 80% on most charges).What's your Rated Miles loss @ full charge?
The batteries do settle but the voltage after several minutes is what you check, not what it is when you're actually charging it.
You probably have a very small amount of artificial range reduction. What was the diff between min and max if your avarage for 4.16?

Anyone getting any new info from Tesla Service? Or are we pretty much just screwed?
No, I really don't; I can't even remember the last time I switched between percentage and range — probably at least a year, and even then only to chuckle at its optimism.OK, but you should know what your Rated Miles were at 80% (or whatever you typically charge to) before and what it is now (after update).

I now feel more confident in my data and my ability to read what data they present me (though I cannot take it with me) to make an intelligent understanding and arguments.
