Here is the article from Electrek ... Tesla’s hacked Battery Management System exposes the real usable capacity of its battery packs
Jason Hughes, a Tesla owner and hacker tinkerer, was the first to reveal the discrepancy in Tesla’s advertised battery capacity versus the actual capacity in the pack and the available capacity. He did it through a tear down of the since discontinued 85 kWh battery pack of a Model S. He found that the 85 KWh battery pack actually only had a capacity of up to 81 kWh and ~77 kWh usable capacity. Now the data is directly from Tesla’s software and not a calculation based on the capacity of cells from a tear down of a pack. He gathered similar data from other Tesla models. Here’s a list he sent to Electrek:
- Original 60 – ~61 kWh total capacity, ~58.5 kWh usable.
- 85/P85/85D/P85D – ~81.5 kWh total capacity, ~77.5 kWh usable
- 90D/P90D – ~85.8 kWh total capacity, 81.8 kWh usable
- Original 70 – ~71.2 kWh total capacity, 68.8 kWh usable
- 75/75D – 75 kWh total capacity, 72.6 kWh usable
- Software limited 60/60D – 62.4 kWh usable
- Software limited 70/70D – 65.9 kWh usable
Thanks! Does anyone know the usable capacity for the 100 pack?
