Won't let me charge to 100%

[Carol525]

I have a trip this morning so I filled to 95% last night & tried to top of the remaining 5% just now, but it says "Charge complete" and won't take any more. I drove it around the block but it still won't charge any more. Any advice?

This is not uncommon if you haven’t charged to 100% in a long time. Has happened to me 2-3 times.Try to discharge down below 30% or so once or twice and then back to 100 again, it should recalibrate.

This, exactly. You aren't going to get it any higher until you go through a few full charge cycles. Go ahead and head out on your trip and plan a Supercharger stop at a convenient point.

The good news is your battery likely IS “full”, the SoC algorithm just needs to catch up. So you’ve got all the mileage you need for your trip.

Thanks ucmndd & Big Earl, I guess I'll find a Supercharger if needed. Have a great weekend!

It has happened to me too but not so sure about the identification of the issue here.

I recently charged to 100%, 306 miles. But then a few days later it got stuck at 98%, 299 miles. So not sure it has anything to do with BMS confusion.

To me it seemed like an issue with it needing a certain charge current to get a session started. If you are too close to the top it can’t get started again.

It seems like a bug to me.

Personally, if I really needed the charge, I would use the heat to draw down to 92% or something and try again.

For me I really wanted those 7 extra miles - needed to get to Vegas (283 miles). Did some drafting and slight slowing to be sure I made it.

Do you mean San Diego or are you in my neighborhood?

Happens to me too - If you open the app - then click Charging - it will start charging again.

Very annoying.

In one of his recent videos or streams, Bjorn Nyland said that the Model 3 will not normally charge again until you drop to 93%. He also said that it will stop at 99%.

Do you go to SD Tesla club events? If so, let's introduce ourselves at the next one, Oct. 26.

So charge to 90%, then the remaining 10% the next morning? What happens if it sits for a few hours at 100%?

No, haven’t been to one yet. Found the website

Thanks

Yeah I found this to be a real bummer when I really wanted those 7 miles and I had no LTE access for the phone or my car! So I knew this might help, but had no such option! Very important to have LTE access for these functions to operate. Bluetooth has insufficient bandwidth .

I made it though. Just had to draft a bit.

Good to know, thanks!

THIS!! Thank goodness I saw this thread last night... same issue...was at 94% after being at 100% and it said "charging complete"... I had to drive around and get it under 94% then it allowed me to charge again over 100. Lesson learned on my part... no "rehearse charging" 2 night ahead of a long trip!
