Thinking the V1 90's are starting to get incorporated into Charge Gate even more so than before and possibly even battery gate. I wanted to supercharge a couple of times to test my observations out.
For the record, I'm still on one of the last versions of 8.1. I have not connected my car to wifi in over 1 1/2 years.
To stop the car from nagging me to setup a wifi connection, I had connected to an old Linksys router that was not online when I got my car. Well, apparently after 3 1/2 years with my car, it FOUND an actual Linksys router with the Linksys SSI and no security.
Before this, my 90 pack was acting like a 90, I've been capped to 94-95kW charge rate since the second month I've owned it (And halfway through the first road trip!). The range has always sucked and lowered quickly as you'd expect from a 90kWh V1 pack. It's a POS....
So, while out and about, and I was parked on the street, unknown to me, my car connected to an unsecured Linksys access point, and downloaded whatever latest firmware they are trying to get me on.
NO, I DID NOT INSTALL IT!.
Here's the interesting part though. Since that firmware was queued, I have not been able to charge over 95-96% SOC! Next, with a warm battery, around 90*F, my maximum supercharger speed has been ~76 kWh. FURTHER, starting at about 30-40% SOC through charge completion, the cooling fans are running Balls-To-The-Wall FULL Ready for Blast-Off speed. Here is the kicker, it's been about 15*F-45*F. Never have I had this level of cooling, even with a HOT 113*F battery when it's this cold outside. Even the AC compressor going full blast.
As I said, I wanted to test this out a couple of times and at different supercharger locations. Results seem to be about the same with slight variance at all locations.
Thinking, they are getting Sneaky, might have sent a change without actually upgrading the Firmware. And to take it a FINAL step, the Update Clock disappeared after supercharging last night. The last time I had the update clock, I had to cancel it for 6 months before it went away. This time 2 weeks. Took 2 1/2 hrs to get to ~85%.
Just sharing findings.
