Tesla Motors Club
So my model 3 has been pretty much always been charged between 90% and 50% while driving and charged to 90% and always plugged in when not in use as recommended in the manual. My range at 90% has been 279/278 pretty much all of the 9500 miles we have had the car until about a month ago.
About a month ago and shortly after the 2020.4 update it randomly dropped to [email protected] and as low as [email protected] Currently it is at 300 at 100%. I always got [email protected] the few times I have taken it there before a trip
I actually saw an increase to 281/[email protected]% about a week to two before this drop, never went to 100 to see if it was more then 310 but showed 312 on the app if I were to select it.
So after the drops I switched into percentage mode and at one point I only had a max capable of 98%@100 and 49%@50. Talking to the Tesla service center they said that even with degradation that should still always show 100% (seems to be mixed information on this available) and that they expect up to 10% loss the first year on most model 3s, glad I got the longer range. Anyhow I certainly hope that there isn’t this much degradation after such few cycles. I have also had the popping of the battery almost anytime I use a supercharger and that includes preconditioning the battery. Bug reports of course when it happened so it’s documented. It usually would do that once or twice while there, I’ve been told that’s just a pressure valve and not to worry but being they have replaced that on other vehicles and it was fixed to my understanding before I purchased mine I’m slightly worried.
So it will finally get looked at by the service center wednesday this week for that and few other items(hood needs adjustment, broken weather strip connector under the hood, and some paint peeling on the front fender, a lot of exposed primer under the hood).
For a 50k vehicle I of course still love it despite the issues but I really wish Tesla would just make the mileage reflect the epa rating for 310 like they do with the percentages, so it’s not in mine or anyone’s minds. Furthermore with the 325 mile range update and now claimed 350 reached for the same awd dual motors I really hope Tesla would give that to their customers since they claim it’s just software changes.
Will be doing the full charge down to 10% or so and see how many kws total are used down to see if it’s truly just an off calculation and will update that here.
Any thoughts or ideas would be great and if your battery is popping when supercharging please share as well.
