Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

When I purchased my used P85D the warranty was 8 years and a million miles. Now the warranty is 125K miles and 8 years.

That's what we're talking about. The business is viable, we know that. Proving it to wall street is all about the stock price. Elon's goal is to get paid and burn shorts and those goals are entirely based on stock price. The company's goal is to satisfy shareholders which is increasing share price. You're describing what I said with more words.

Read closer.
It was never "8 years and a million miles". It was always "8 years unlimited miles", which it still is for every S/X except the original 60kWh Model S.
That is very unusual for the difference not to rise as the SOC goes down. In fact, I've never seen it in my car or others in the TM-SPY discussion threads.

No. I mean technically, yes, but since you'd have to destroy the top cover to open up the pack, and since you probably can't get a new replacement, and since you'd be using old, used modules, which could cause imbalances, and since would probably need to change software settings, I'd say for most people the answer is no.
That is what I understand as well. I think @wk057 said the imbalances would make it not work. Even he didn't have enough modules around that would match each other well enough to cobble together a working pack from different packs.
Maybe my case is unusual, I don't know. I am probably an unusual case in the sense that I don't use supercharging(only 25kWh DC charging on my battery).

Today I charged my car from SoC 69%-80% (on a 11kW charger) I got 7,99kW. It took 45min. The cell temp went from 12C-16C, and still the pump is running exactly 3hours (3-400W).
You might win the lottery and get a "Maximum Battery Range is Limited" prize.
Also worth noticing the capacity. wk057 got 102.4kWh for the 100 pack so we have 102.4kWh * (14/16) = 89.6 kWh.
With 89.6 kWh it's probably also good as a 90kWh replacement, just change the labels

Unless 90 or 95 is too close to 100 and they need to maintain some psychological differentiation for the upsell.
That would be great but I think that heavier battery would require replacing springs in those non air suspensions as well as crash testing the new configuration in the US. Isn't that why the 90 to 100 upgrades required replacing the front seats - because only the new seats had been in the new crash tested configurations with the heavier battery?

Since the energy density of the 100kWh pack has allowed greater capacity in the same space as the previous 85kWh pack I'd say there may be no significant increase in weight at all.

Seeing all these new failures in the 'maximum-battery-charge-level-reduced' thread,
if I was capped (I'm not) AND still covered by warranty...
I'd take the chance to upgrade, hoping to get their new 'diagnostic' of battery failure and thus get a new batttery that hopefully won't get capped!
I do wish people from this thread start getting this error message as they upgrade and we get 'some' resolution to their predicament!
