Are you able to check the voltages? it still would be interesting to know; probably not capped, but still.My 2013 S85 is also at max 217 miles at 100% but then again my reman battery pack has 191,000 miles on it.

Those are two of the measurements that are no longer accurate on TM-SPY & Scan My Tesla. Tesla fiddled with the firmware and what/how Canbus reports, to make some of the readable information inaccurate. Word on the grape vine was that it was being used against them (Charge Gate & Battery Gate).I will just leave this here
Oh man this gets me fuming!!! I would have taken settlement with warranty extension. Like what are our options here. What a scam!Well, I finally heard back from Tesla, after another request for someone to pull my logs remotely, since my battery lost MORE miles suddenly (214 now)...
Here is their response:
"Hello, this is the Tesla diagnostic team. We’ve completed our diagnosis of your concern.
What you are experiencing with your range is the intended behavior of the HV battery due to accumulated wear and age of the battery.
We have verified that the HV battery has DC charged/supercharged 5 times more than AC charging.
We've also reviewed your HV battery warranty and it has expired in March of 2021.
If you would like, we can keep your appointment and you can purchase a remanufactured HV battery at your cost. If you have other questions, please don't hesitate to ask."
I see their delaying tactics on the lawsuit paid off What a crock. Now we know why they accepted the settlement, it was more about us waiting till the warrantees expired and less about the money.
I think the most affordable way out of this battery quagmire is to purchase 100kWh salvage cars and swap the pack out. Sell the modules of the old pack on ebay and part out the car.
A tiered settlement would have made sense. Those who are fully restored, get x. Those mostly restored, get y. Those NOT restored, replace battery.Oh man this gets me fuming!!! I would have taken settlement with warranty extension. Like what are our options here. What a scam!
Buying an early Tesla, this is far from my worst-case scenario. My greatest concern was Tesla going bankrupt and being bought up for disassembly by an oil company or someone else not wanting to disrupt the status quo. Going into it as an early adopter geek with terrible past experiences with batteries of all kinds, I figured a 15% or less battery degradation after 8 years would be great. My best-case hope was that Tesla would improve battery cost/efficiency so that they would offer a replacement battery much better and cheaper than the original by the time it was needed.I think the most affordable way out of this battery quagmire is to purchase 100kWh salvage cars and swap the pack out. Sell the modules of the old pack on ebay and part out the car. No matter what, Tesla convincing us they would cover the battery degradation was a flat out lie. We are on our own unfortunately. The car will have a better resell value after the fact. I don't think I will ever buy a new car from Tesla ever again. They play "there is a sucker born every day" motto.
All they can offer is a remanufactured battery with the same capacity (as you current - not as a new) - and my best guess is with chargegate = on.....My best-case hope was that Tesla would improve battery cost/efficiency so that they would offer a replacement battery much better and cheaper than the original by the time it was needed.

That's not all they CAN offer, it's what they are currently, totally inadequately WILLING to offer.All they can offer is a remanufactured battery with the same capacity (as you current - not as a new) - and my best guess is with chargegate = on
Put me in the line for such an offer - I will take two - NOT
I don't think that's legal, manufacturers have to supply parts for 10 years after last production date.I’ve asked to buy a replacement battery and been told this is not a service Teala provides. Where are these service centers offering to sell a refurb after of warranty?
I had heard that too, but my research only found one requirement; that they have to have parts available to honor their warranty, if they don't have parts available they have to replace the car to make good on their warranty.I don't think that's legal, manufacturers have to supply parts for 10 years after last production date.
100kWh pack is too heavy for an 85kWh without major suspension mods. I believe wk057 has done it, but says it is not cost effective.I think the most affordable way out of this battery quagmire is to purchase 100kWh salvage cars and swap the pack out.

That's for warranty replacments. People who have bought packs have gotten new, not refurbs.All they can offer is a remanufactured battery with the same capacity (as you current - not as a new) - and my best guess is with chargegate = on

Who have you asked? There are several stories here of people buying new packs out of warranty. Or at least getting quotes.I’ve asked to buy a replacement battery and been told this is not a service Teala provides. Where are these service centers offering to sell a refurb after of warranty?
Hey I hope you are right on this...I personally would not mind buying a battery every 8-10 years for 20k or so BUT only if it is a new one!That's for warranty replacments. People who have bought packs have gotten new, not refurbs.
