Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

I can only imagine the reasons why, and none of them good.
No, those cars can still supercharge for a fee. Tesla did not disable supercharging.
Waiting... I believe I gave a few members the email address to my Reuters contact, Alexandra Sage. Hopefully she'll be into this.
Unfortunately, I believe one or more lawsuits may be needed to answer to those questions.I hope you are right on that.
"thorough testing" from Tesla?
I don't think my case is that specific based on what I've seen, it's pretty similar to others with the same degree of loss. But even if it is, is it possible for a manufacturer to drag the warranty period to its expiration date by prescribing painkillers in meantime? I believe so. It's in their best interest, but not mine. Furthermore, I've not read anywhere that the software updates are forever. What does an owner with no painkiller who is also out of warranty, the same warranty which would have resulted in no need for the painkillers if it would had applied earlier, would do? (Perspective: my car is 4 years old with only 43K miles, with the projection of much less than the double amount in 8 years)
Again, a touchy topic.
Thanks for informing me. I've noticed you sometimes "Post Reply" which is meant to the entire thread instead of "Reply" to a specific post, which you did in this case. The software testing quality was something I had mentioned in my previous reply to your post
, Oh, well ...There is another similar report in this thread.
Interestingly the battery was still restricted when I picked up the car, but I was informed that it would unlock after first sleep. I was wary of that, but it turned out to be correct.
@u1e85d5, why a surprise? It all goes back to the haphazard way Tesla releases sw updates, poor quality included. Different topic of course but not that unrelated here.
No, if the SC tells you your battery is fine, that's as official as it can get, even if the owner, like yourself, does not agree to its validity. You can't get a battery health check report from the head of Tesla battery engineering department, can you? That's not how service requests work: through the Service Centers.
Maybe you track a certain voltage bump and X creates a very tiny one. Z on the other, which you never saw or noticed, creates a bump 100x larger, so your new X-detection algorithm thinks it's X on steroids instead of detecting it as benign Z.
You're technically right. But I wouldn't necessarily say, Tesla lied to somebody, if they gave an uninformed, wrong answer. It shouldn't happen, I think we all agree on that, but lying means intent for wrong doing.
It varies by chemistry. On the our batteries, 4.1 volts is a little over 90%. Note TM-SPY 90.6% is an even 90% on the dash due to the mapping from bottom including the anti brick buffer in TM-SPY where it isn't on the dash's display.
I wish I knew if my P85D had the problem but I won't upgrade to v9 unless I'm forced to either because I have to leave the car in service for some reason or the MCU fails. My days are numbered
What will really get it picked up is if a judge declares a class with enough plaintiffs coming forward.
The subset of owners reported on this list we know for sure. Some are still on % display. Some not on this thread.
On Edit: My fear is that if the number is, let's say, about 100-ish, we won't get that much traction to get this resolved soon due to the tiny size.

The only time I have seen it before someone mentioned that they had their battery replaced, or repaired, and the logged fault from before the repair was still in the BMS causing a restriction. The SC was able to clear the fault, that had been repaired, and that restored the capacity.
Sue or request arbitration. That graph is pretty compelling and appalling. In addition, it would probably help tremendously if you make a trip that you normally used to make and can't now, run out of battery and get towed. If you have Teslafi showing that those trips had been made and how much range you had left vs you can't even do it now without actually dying on the side of the road, it would be even better. I'm so glad that I have hundreds of trips logged on teslafi. As soon as I'm forced with v9, if I have a similarly large drop as some you have, I will be seeking legal remedies immediately.
