      This is disastrous. Almost 20% after only 1-2 years. Like a cheap smartphone battery. If the range is like 290 miles on a charge (since you said driven hard), 115k miles are about 400 charging cycles. 82% health left after that, plus it's only 2 years, is really bad. So, Tesla batteries don't seem to last long after all!

    Thanks for showing this test. It appears your car has 65.6 kWhs for the nominal full pack reading. New is 77.8, making for 16% battery degradation. The range loss as you showed is 12%. I see the same variance between range loss and degradation loss in my 2019 LR RWD over the years. Capacity and Range Loss have always been different readings, with the capacity loss being greater. My capacity loss is 6.8% but my range loss so far is 4.6%. I have far fewer miles than yours, however. 😉I'm taking my readings from ScanMyTesla. The Energy Buffer reading also declines over time. I believe this reserve is the past 0% capacity. Energy Buffer this vintage of 3's starts at 3.5 kWhs. Mine has dropped to 3.27 kWhs. While I only have 24k miles, 37% of those miles have been from Supercharging. I pretty much follow your same battery charging strategy.

In a ScanMyTesla from a few months ago my Nominal Full Pack was showing 72.8 kWhs. SMT showed the "Usable" as 34.7 at 49.9% SOC, making the usable 69.5 kWhs at 100% SOC.

    I think that mileage does not that much effect the battery health as the time. My M3 long range is 2018, but mileage is very low, now it is about 5500 miles only. Never supercharged (actually just tried once for a 5 min), charged to 100% only a few times before the trips. I did not do the test, but my range now shows ~285-288 miles if charged to 100% instead of 310, which means loss of range about 8%. So, it basically the same as for cars with more than 50K miles.

      Do you always charge to the same level? And do consistent trips like drive to work, get home, charge back to 80% every day? If your car almost always sits at the same levels of charge (80% and whatever you arrive at work) then the BMS only has a couple data points and can't accurately gauge capacity. If so, try charging to different levels (70, 85, etc) and/or skip a day of charging if you can and see if over a few weeks the range climbs.

  • @universeisundernoobligatio3283

    Wonder what the uncertainty of the measurement is?
    Typical current sensor say 300A +/-1%/2% accuracy, +/-1% linearity about +/- 4.2 amps @ 300 amps, charging at 40 amps could be +/- 10% error. This does not take into account temperature sensitivity.
    The voltage measurement will be better say +/- 0.2%
    Since power is volts times amps the power measurement at 40 amps charging could be +/- 10% uncertainty.
    Good thing is this uncertainty should be fairly consistent over the life of the cars measurement system.

  • @tjbonzo

    Are you sure the test completed? As I understood the test is was supposed to charge to 100%, but you are only showing 98.8%. Do you contend it charged to 100% then phantom drained 1.2% while plugged in? I think you have to do the test again. I also suspect you don't need to set your charge limit to 100% (i.e. the test overrides the user set charge limit) - would be curious to see a confirmation of that.

    • @gwieser
      @gwieser Рік тому +3

      Elon once posted that "even 90% should be fine" - if you don't need the full 90% all the time, charge to lower SoC. 50% is definitely "super-cautious", or in other words: useless. For what your usage seems to be, set it to 70% and all should be fine. I did the 90% thing for the first 40k km (now have 80k km on it) and my degradation was (and is) totally within the fleet level, even a little lower than the fleet average (means: better milage).

    • @timothyshanks6799

      For all batteries, they are much longer lasting to keep them in a mid charge. You can see the scientific research but optimal would likely be between 20 and 60 percent charge. Doing this exponentially increases the number of charges the battery can do before failure. I would need to read again but doing 20 to 60% all the time would mean many thousands of charges before failure so battery would last 30+ years however even 5-90 every day battery will still cycle maybe 2000 times so likely 15 years plus. Supercharging is hard on batteries but the Pre heat helps a lot. In all just have it in mind not to hammer super charging, avoid less than 10 percent and avoid more than 80 percent of you can and the battery will last a lot longer. For your normal use keep between 30 and 50 percent shoukd be more than possible and mean the battery last longer than you 😂

    First time i had it on 7% and it made alot of noise. Drained battery fast, But never charged back up. After 24h it was sitting there with 3% battery and it could not charge. Had to jnplug and powercycle the car then chsrging worked again.
    Tryed with 20% again as ppl said and it did nothing at all.
    So my guess is the test isnt working as it should 😅

    Great video. I saw you did a lot of modifications. Specifically the lift. If you need to take your vehicle in for repairs what do they say. The aftermarket stuff probly voids warranties. Will they still work on it? If you have to pay for the repairs how much do they usually charge? Is it calculated by a hourly rate,plus parts like regular dealerships?

    • @JTube571
      @JTube571 Рік тому +1

      It doesn't automatically void warranties, to a point. The whole car warranty? No. If you put aftermarket suspension on and something suspension related fails, maybe. But if a drivetrain part fails and they blame it on the suspension, they have no case. Been modifying cars for years, and it really comes down to the dealer working on it. My last car was modified significantly and they had no problem with it. Granted I did most of the maintenance and only took it there for major items.

    I have a question for you guys in the comment, so my 2019 M3 has about 95k miles, my full charge rated miles says about 272, but when driven about 73 Mph highway after my day is done I end up at 15% SOC or so and that’s after driving 153.7 miles! I know other things consume the energy, but according to the energy app, when I add all the mile consumed it only adds up to about 190+ miles all together…. So to go from 272 miles to less then 200 it’s quite significant, any of you have notice similar things?

      272 miles is if you keep driving at constant speed of 55 mph. 73mph would definitely killed 100+ miles because of the driving speed. Try to stay below 70mph you will definitely get more than 200 miles real world range.

    I would say if it’s very rarely the car ever sees one her percent state of charge, and it’s been months since you’ve charged it to that, then I would suspect the 8% you’re getting from the battery test in the car is more accurate than what you’re getting from the other data.
