My Feb 2013-build S 85 with A-pack currently gets 221 @ 90% and 248 @ 100%. I have about 77,000 miles on the clock. When new I got 265 @ 100%. These are all with Range Mode off.
I've been as low as 215 @ 90%, but that was many firmware releases ago. The numbers seem to fluctuate (for some) across firmware updates, and I have noticed a few miles up or down after a long road trip. I will also see a few more miles with Range Mode on.
My car's range dropped precipitously in the first 6-8 months (freaking me out!) and then really leveled off. I've been at or around the above numbers for almost 3 years now.

I'm sorry to say that what you are experiencing is not a balancing issue. You most likely have one or more failed battery modules and you should call Tesla to have your car inspected by service ASAP. The type of range loss you describe is way beyond anything that would be seen with a balancing issue.

Yikes. That is what I suspected also. I made an appointment for this morning at 8am. Crossing my fingers they solve the issue.
Looks like my 90% is 282.91 this morning. Picked up car yesterday.

Well, I contacted Tesla service a couple weeks ago. Their first response, after engineering looked into the problem, was that everything looked normal - they said the logs indicated little or no change. So, the next time I charged to 90% resulting in 210 miles of rated range (range mode on), I sent pictures. The latest update from a few days ago is they are investigating it again. The attached photos are from last night's charging, still no improvement.
Unfortunately this ~10% reduced range now necessitates a charging stop for a frequent round trip I make... and again, this was an immediate drop from 232 to 210 miles, coincident with my last service visit at the end of Nov. I will post an update once I hear back from service.

224 miles at 90%, finished charging this morning. I hit 90k miles last week!
Range mode was off. It usually adds 2 or 3 when I turn on range mode.
I should hit 100k miles early May 2017, maybe even April.
Just a few more months to go and I can conclude I made the right choice not getting the Extended Service Agreement!

This is my new November 2016 built Tesla Model S 60D with software limited 75 battery. Right now outside the car it is 46ºF. I just charged it up to 90% right now; it finished right before I took this screen shot.
In case you can't read the picture and/or are not accustomed to Remote S formatting (great app for iPhone (and Apple Watch)):
Odometer: 1,617.9 miles
Complete: 90% (state of charge of battery)
Estimated: 132 miles (I don't know what this means)
Rated: 198 miles (I believe this is the same as what car displays on its displays)
Ideal: 247 miles (the only time I got close to ideal I actually exceeded it, because I was at 0% and didn't want to be stuck in the dark on a freeway in a bad part of town in 32º weather -- so, in other words, "ideal" is bogus and useless, from both perspectives of "extreme" and "usual")
Inside: 58º F
Notice that there is a line at top that says "Charge 90%"; that is the target, not the present amount. The present charge level is at the bottom left. Both happen to be equal as of this picture.

90% charge with Range Mode OFF, Rated 433km, Typical 347 km,
100% charge with Range Mode OFF, Rated 484 km, Typical 386 km,
90% charge with Range Mode OFF, Rated 433km, Typical 347 km,
100% charge with Range Mode OFF, Rated 484 km, Typical 386 km,
For the P100D, are you getting 286 consistently or is that a peak number? How are you charging when you get that number (14-50, supercharger, J1772, etc.).
I've seen numbers ranging from 282 to 284 on my car, although I've only had it a week (270 miles on the odo). I've only charged the car on my J1772 EVSE so far, which charges at 20 mph.

I just heard from the service center. Taking out my pack to send to Fremont to correct modules that failed.
Glad you got it resolved!
What surprises me is that when something like this happens, Tesla cannot diagnose this through the logs or the car cannot diagnose itself and put up a "car needs service" alert. Seems like a glaring omission.

I agree. Software should recognize the severe voltage drop and alert driver or Tesla. To make it up to me they can feel free to upgrade me to a 100 pack limited to 85 lolGlad you got it resolved!
