So, now that all the 85kwh battery packs are out of warranty (discontinued in 2016, 8 year battery warranty) Tesla turns up the charging speeds? Interesting… just a coincidence I’m sure.

[skyfox]

And as soon as they want, they can nerf it again.

[ASTZDomidragon]

Its still the same. It was always SOC + KW = 110. It was like this on our P85D for the long time until now. So no change for us at least.

[slartibartfast-]

Seems to me they just unnerfed it a tiny bit compared to the original charging speed.

[mhoepfin]

It’s been this way forever on the 85 packs. SOC + BATTERY POWER = ~110 on a warm battery. Cold battery is more like the one on the left.

[dherrendoerfer]

It's pretty much the same curve, adjusted for the difference in nominal remaining, it would seem that the pack on the right is better in balance under high temps than the other one.

Great information! I still want to se a 1000Km challenge with a P85 with the new 85/90kwh 350volt pack with summer tires on slipstream rims! ;-)

[soyxarai]

Great news. I'm going to check it tomorrow :-)

[thbmc]

Semi subtle change there but a definite one, Still rocking a S 70 here and not noticed any improvement, but atleast now because of your video I know to monitor it closely next time.

[marcmartin]

very interesting would love to have it for raven

[davidglieder]

Still the worst thing that Tesla has ever done to its customers. If the battery is faulty they should replace it instead of making it worse for the customer.

I charged my 2016 90D recently. It peaked at 165 kW. I was pretty surprised as I thought max was 150 kW on the older pack. It falls very quickly though.

[nikelliot]

I can't show evidence, but pretty sure our 2018 75D is now more efficient 🤷 Has averaged 350wh/mile since new and now regularly seems to get under 300wh/mile now. 115k miles

[celeron]

It could also be that Tesla has identified risky production batches and slows down charging specifically for those. So, it can be essentially the same car and battery, but just happens to have been made during a certain month or whatever, and for that reason is slowed down.

[xiantong]

My P85 from 2014 @110K km will only do 40-50kw no matter where the SOC is. Meanwhile my Li MEGA will do around 400kw from very low SOC up to 85%… that’s a very tremendous lead even compared to my 2023 S plaid which only do sub 200kw majority of time😅

[ConstantijnKool]

Could also be the differents beteren v2 and v3 with ccs adapter. On my 2018 model s 75d i can realty see the differents between v2 its much higher Peek like 126kw instaid of 112 to 114kw on v3 with the adapter

[RENAULTOlivier]

my 2013 P85+ charges faster: 132 kW at low SOC this summer, I'm very surprised

[boni]

This is from July. My Sp85 is working with hotter battery and consumption is lower.

[robev]

I would rather have my Kia, 5 years old with no noticeable degradation and the charge speed exactly the same as when I bought it without the manufacturer being able to control it
