Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

LOL. Will do.Don't forget to warn us if you lose more range.
I am hoping maybe just maybe this is the start of Tesla trying to remedy the situation. Maybe they finally figured out how to test further to either identify specific issues or at least get more info. The reason I am hopeful is if I was them and just wanted that info for internal use I would not have added the info to the release notes and just kept it hidden in an update.
Thanks for posting. That release note is very funny. What does that mean? Looks like possibly the potential for more range/performance loss.
Let's hope so.
But probably it will only take more range from some of the already affected cars....
Perhaps I am overly skeptical these days but I interpreted the release notes as "we are getting better at finding cars to cap and throttle" -- my more generous self is thinking perhaps they have made some progress in understanding the cause of conditions X and Z.
Or, it can be a heads up to the soon to be capped owners. We have been complaining we were not told about being capped and why, so they are telling the owners.

Many people are not even getting 100,000 miles before the cap makes the battery useless.
They said they were improving their ability to detect--said nothing about sharing that info with you.
This is a very interesting development. Definitely related to the voltage capping and charge rate capping. I'm extremely skeptical, it'll probably just decrease performance.
They said they were improving their ability to detect--said nothing about sharing that info with you.
Correct. It also can mean we now have improved our technique even better to cap you even further
Watch out.I think that is a significant exaggeration. Isn't the battery in your Model S capped? But yet you are still driving it. So the battery must not be "useless."

That is true. If my laptop stops booting, I can still use it as a hammer. I just cannot use it for its original intended purpose.

Yeah, I have several old computers that would make useful boat anchors.
It's funny the "laptop" analogy is used here. That poster who says "So the battery must not be "useless"" is actually talking about his own laptop battery. He does not own a Tesla.

For your infected Tesla? I don't even see that one showing up on the trackers yet. You on the early release program?
Ah! I see... You mean 2019.40.2.3. Looks like its only out to the infected models so far. AP1 and non AP. S60, 70, 85.
Wonder how much MORE KW and power I will lose.
Knowing Tesla it probably changes the faults stored to make it look more gradual
