[@stevendu5914]

Glad all is good with your M3P’s battery. You’ve obviously spent a lot of time making these videos so from all of us, THANKS!

[@LudicrousFeed]

Thanks Steven! Glad you’re enjoying them 🙏😃

[@michaelfink64]

Great demo, Tom. Interesting how well the two techniques correlate.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Thanks Michael! I’m glad SMT is within 1% margin of error for a calibrated battery 🙏 Now to work on my 2015 Model S 😁

[@michaelbuttigieg7310]

Hi, I have a Tesla model Y, and it's only 4 months old. When we picked the car up, we had a 445km available range. After the first few charges, we settled at 435km range. Recently, the range has dropped to 426km. Would you think this is normal? Cheers

[@LudicrousFeed]

Li Ion batteries are known to settle down after a few weeks ... Leave it a bit longer and you can do another BMS calibration at the 6 month mark (drain to almost 0% and recharge to 100% Repeat again to gain more accuracy) then check again.

[@janmola]

How do you get ‘service mode’ with a later yr software? This service mode she be accessible to a Teslas, considering support is very vague w/battery.

[@PhilAHealey]

On scan my tesla for 2019 SR+ reported battery capacity when new is 52.6 kWh. I started using scan my tesla a couple of weeks after I got the car and it reported Actual battery Capacity as very close to this 52.4 kWh. After 3.5 years and 90,000 km reported capacity is 46.9 kWh = 89% remaining. However, EV Database reports actual usable capacity as 49 kWh when new. My degredation is then only 95% remaining.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Happy days!

[@peterbachmut5873]

I bought this car from Tesla after Tom traded it in. After 8 months of ownership and 73K km on the odometer, my battery is still showing 388km range at 88% SOC.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Glad you’re still enjoying it 👍👍

[@henvan8737]

Tom, I have scanmytesla on a Samsung phone but not sure how you were able to get the nice graphics you are displaying. Can you do a video on this subject.

[@LudicrousFeed]

It should be under dashboard. Make sure your app settings are correct. Check out my earlier vid where I briefly went through it: SCAN MY TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE Battery Degradation after 3.5 years kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIbRlJiehJKmaqM

[@datla1906]

Great video Tom. 9% degradation for 3.5 years seems high to me. What is the % limit for battery warranty?

[@LudicrousFeed]

It plateaus at the 10% mark from charts available online. Tesla warrants battery degradation up to 30%

[@TheMelbournelad]

All serious, though, these tools are fantastic to have for the nerds that want to poke around the inside of their car. Disclaimer, I am enthusiasts. I am not a service professional. Lol

[@LudicrousFeed]

Glad this battery health test exists

[@axb-wr2ib]

After calibrating by discharging and charging a couple of times, is it fair to say the Service Mode and Scan my Tesla Results pretty much correspond with the degradation as calculated buy looking at the fully charged estimated range on the dash/app versus the fully charged estimated range on the dash/app when new?

[@LudicrousFeed]

Good question ... it's a complicated matter because the range when new is often inflated because after a few cycles, the battery pack will settle into its 'rated range' and the capacity will contract. Apparently all Li-ion batteries do this. Hence why many new owners always remark on their range 'dropping' after a few weeks of driving - this is just the cells settling into their new normal. So yes, you can use the the range to do your own informal comparisons but I would be using the new 'settled' range after a few weeks rather than the number when the car is Day 0. Hence why I don't use the 'When new' number of 77kWh from the SMT app graphic and instead use 74kWh because that's the rated capacity. Hope that makes sense. I'll keep reiterating this as I do more videos

[@henvan8737]

Tom the heat generation would be due to a battery with much higher than your 5% needing to wash off the battery capacity in the form of heat being generated through the stationary motors used as dummy loads.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Understood but if I hadn’t intervened I wonder if it would’ve discharged to 0% by itself? It seemed to be idle for a long time

[@xiaoxiaotuo]

Hi, Ludicrous, thanks for your time and it is very helpful video. I got 2019 3P same as yours. The sales guy recommended always charge until 90% and it shows 400km for the range of it. How about yours? Mine one is 51k on odometer

[@LudicrousFeed]

I believe ours was of similar range - can't confirm anymore because we've since traded it in for a Model Y

[@xiaoxiaotuo]

@@LudicrousFeed cool, Model Y had much bigger space and good for camping and family.

[@peterbachmut5873]

I have since bought this Tesla and after 8 months ownership and 73K on odometer, my battery shows 388km range at 88%

[@Darrenraitt]

Kyle from out of spec, now he would be an interesting guest on your Thursday night live stream.... 🤔

[@LudicrousFeed]

Hmm … 😁

[@fishndive1961]

Battery chemistry for that car is NCA, not NMC.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Thanks Mark, you’re right. USA made 2019 M3P is NCA - I’ll make the corrections in the relevant video descriptions

[@maxgill5620]

Tom,is this test applicable to lfp battery which calibrates it self at end of full charge

[@LudicrousFeed]

I’ll let you know when we eventually get our Y

[@dustintravis8791]

RemindMe! 3.5 years when you do a follow-up video 😀

[@LudicrousFeed]

I’ve since traded the car in for a new Model Y 😃 2023 Tesla Trade In Offer and Experience Australia | Is it good value? kzbin.info/www/bejne/famwYZaKedWKb6c

[@sanwalsansi]

How many kms have you done on your car?

[@LudicrousFeed]

As mentioned in the video 59000+km

[@TheMelbournelad]

First. I stopped my troll twitting for this 😛

[@TheMelbournelad]

@Sensei Sifu nah left it under my bridge with other wallet to keep it safe

[@DuzBee]

Video could have been done in 5 minutes. People in todays world want info yesterday, people live in a time poor, fast paced world. People engage less with channels with longer videos.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Thanks for the feedback I’m thankful the internet is diverse enough to accomodate the different ways we consume content

[@JakeyJay26]

Watch the video on a faster playback speed then.

[@57wadey]

Don't think 9% loss in 3 years is a good result! I would like to think around the 4-5 % mark would be more satisfactory. 😢

[@Nobody_Famous]

Don't buy a Nissan LEAF then...

[@LudicrousFeed]

Multiple sources online state that Tesla batteries tend to plateau at the 10% mark in degradation after a few years of ownership

[@57wadey]

@@LudicrousFeed Time will tell..🙂

[@rebelquadronfpv1065]

Dont know man. My ice car is now 3 years old. about 35k. No loss of range. 1000km per fill up. No constant obscession on when to fill up etc. Only paid $43k.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Yup Range loss is real unfortunately. Constant obsession about charging is an overstatement I think - most of us plug in at night if needed and then get on with life

[@mitchtoeroek2085]

You’re here watching so must be interested. 😊
