New to this thread and I definitely haven’t read all 651 pages of stuff here so not sure if it has been discussed already.
I compared a friend’s 2012 85 kWh battery pack against mine (2017 75kWh). We noted the well known issue of the battery being limited to 4.15V (presumably this limit has increased quite a bit in the last few software updates since her range has come back quite a bit).
He also has been throttled on supercharging (DC charging counter above 10mWh).
But what we found really interesting was, his battery “Active cooling target” was set to 35C with a passive cooling target of 30C. Comparatively, mine was set to 52C and 30C respectively.
We looked at this because he had complained about how his supercharging is throttled but also how his cooling system comes on way quicker than before and sometimes even when he’s driven only 2 miles. He also had an instance where supercharging throttled all the way down to 4 kW(!) after cooling came on immediately after connecting and ran at what seemed like full speed.
Not sure what to make of this. Seems like Tesla adjusting the temperature bands to be more narrow on the older packs to reduce degradation?
