Tesla starts delivering 85 kWh batteries software locked to 75Kwh in its cars

The 85 rocks. I love my P85. 2.26% degradation in 40k miles and 3+ years. It's the "heirloom" battery.

Nice! My 90 battery has 5% degradation with 9K miles in 9 months. The new chemistry sucks.

That doesnt seem good. Is that typical of other owners as well?

The 90D on my X is about the same. On the positive side, it hasn't moved much since that initial big drop.

And btw I talked to my OA about this yesterday. He claims that there is no such plan for Model S. He also told me that the electrek website's article seems questionable because according to him, there is no way to physically tell the capacity and for owners to notice this in July, the cars would have been manufactured at least in April or so and if that was the case, we would've found out by now publicly.

How many miles now and how much degradation so far?

I should be getting my 75D delivered to Canada in about a month. I'll be sure to check for the battery sticker when I get it and will report back here. I don't have high hopes, but it would be a nice surprise. I shouldn't complain though, they've already dropped the price by $10,000 since I placed my order a month ago so I should be happy with whatever I get.

I was pretty lucky with my 90d.

Started at 263 and now at 254 (3.4% drop) after about 16 months, 30k miles.

That is good news!
