Tesla Model Y battery information in Scan My Tesla OBD tool

[@MrGonzonator]

An engineer, a manager and a computer programmer are driving down a hill and the brakes fail. The car careers down the hill, but miraculously, they bring the car to a stop at the bottom without crashing. They all get out. The engineer says "Let's dismantle the brake system and investigate the cause." The managers says, "Hold on! We should first form a committee and explore all options before coming to any decisions on how to proceed." The computer programmer says, "Why don't we push it back up to the top of the hill and see if it happens again?"

[@petersilva037]

most ev drivers are used to one pedal driving. Clearly the battery was full, you just need to use that pedal on the left... it's called a brake.

[@ratmanbrian]

@@petersilva037 So just call it a brake then, no need for the pedal on the left stuff.

[@scanmytesla7830]

Battery degradation was removed (+ a few other fixes) in version 1.9.5, released in April. You should update your app ;)

[@scanmytesla7830]

But watching this I realized there are more things that could be updated. Will try to put a new version together.

[@scanmytesla7830]

BTW the OBDLINK that stops working is an OBDLINK only problem. A slower adapter will not do this, but the OBDLINK is sooo much better when it works. We are working with OBDLINK to solve this, but we have been working on it for several years and not much progress has been made. In their defense we are overloading the OBD2 hardware severely with the amount of data and an edge case non-OBD2 type of data harvesting to get the Tesla data. Not much we can do about it until OBDLINK can solve the problem and come with a firmware update, or someone else invents a device that is as fast but without the crashing.

[@borama7845]

The good old „Have you tried turning it off and on again“, as suggested by Moss and Roy in „The IT crowd“😁

[@fredbloggs5902]

The reason IT support suggests it is... ...because it often works.

[@AA-dg4oo]

The reason OBD port in front does not publish all of the data is due to security and also privacy reasons. The available data in in front are only there to read diagnostics and error code by let’s say service centers or road authorities (on ICEs e.g. to read current emission). The complete backbone data is published on other sort of hidden ports.

[@aycc-nbh7289]

But are there any places where an electric vehicle would somehow need an emissions test? And what would the inspectors say if a vehicle that has no tailpipe pulls up and there is no place to perform a tailpipe emissions test?

It looks like the LG battery I have in my Model 3 LR. It charges much slower than the Panasonic. Very difficult to get high enough temp in pack to reach maximum charging speed on V3 chargers, and it drops really quickly

@@MemphisMG86 you mean switching to the 5L battery, right? There are no Panasonic battery packs certified for the EU Model Y. The 3L is 82kWh by the way.

[@alinmustata]

So let me get his straight if a Model 3 has 5c in the vin it’s the lg battery and if it has 3L is the panasonic one with the 82kwh, right?

[@lastnightsfavorite]

@@alinmustata No, from the VIN you can only separate Lithium Ion and LFP packs. What we are talking about are the variant codes in the vehicle paperwork. Y5CD is Model Y LG 75kwh Dual Motor. E3LD is Model 3 Panasonic 82kWh Dual Motor.

[@Pess87]

Yes, it has a firewall. Lots of vehicles now tends to have those OBD ports that can be activated only with specific softwares...

[@KrisRifa]

Driven this now down to to close to 0% several times now, and yes it does seem to only have a net capacity of 70kWh Bjørn..

Hi Bjorn. I can see each individual cell for my M3 SR+ MIC with LFP in scanmyTesla. I am running it on an iPhone and the MX version of the OBD adapter that you have. On an iPhone it isn’t that buggy but you can’t customise the screens.

[@MrNikitir]

I’ve got MYP Fremont and it has 82kwh max capacity in scan my Tesla . I wonder is if battery on this LR is smaller because of MIC or just LR vs P…

[@JensDittrich]

The battery is the LG pack which can be calibrated up to 75 kWh nominal . It is the same slow charging pack, which is in the 580 km LG Model 3s.

[@kloao]

How do you do that ?

[@netsraccjf3965]

I wouldn't buy a Y or 3 at this stage until Tesla clears up this battery lottery ! If VW would behave like this everybody would get worked up straight away calling them betrayers !

[@1flash3571]

@@netsraccjf3965 If Tesla would do it like the other car companies, Tesla WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PRODUCE the amount of vehicles as they do now. Batteries are in limited supply. To be able to produce so many cars, they have to source it from MANY BATTERY SUPPLIERS, including their own battery dept. IT is what it is. To say that Tesla is SCAMMY is wrong. Tesla and other companies have STANDARDS that battery companies have to meet on specs. LG met their standards.

[@ModPhreak]

@@netsraccjf3965 I agree, they just changed the batteries in the LR and then ship with what looks like old LG versions, which by all accounts seem inferior to the MIA Panasonic.

[@netsraccjf3965]

@@1flash3571 That well may be, but for me as a customer I want to know what I get and Teslas communication on those things are outright terrible. Also as a customer it dearly matters to me if it takes the car 10 minutes longer to charge from 10 to 80% then it did before. The situation right now is that if you order a Model 3 LR you might get the good and proven Panasonic version on or you will get the vastly worse LG Version Battery for the same money ! As I said if VW would do that sort of thing you would hear the cry out from Germany right up to the Hymalays ! Tesla needs to learn they cannot just build their cars with the components they happen to find lying around . I have lost my trust in Tesla as I don't know if I will get the exact car I ordered or if they have changed it up in the mean time. The early Model 3's had self dimming side mirrors and sort of simple ambient lighting but all of that suddenly disappeared without Tesla saying a single word ! It was customers who noticed their friends car had ambient lighting while their car did not have it ! Now the self dimming mirrors are back, but you never know if they will take them away again or just leave out some noise dampening material if they are short on it ! Compared to other manufacturers it's very hard to find a full list of how the car is equipped on their website and they do that for a reason !

MY here in Europe is already quite expensive (65k€ here in the Netherlands) and we are delivered with smaller battery pack. That's disappointing. I guess I will hold my purchase for now.

[@mjaminian]

Got mine last Friday, the car is amazing, much better than I thought. Drove in a Model S P85D for 6y. Sure the battery could be this or that and I would love to have 1000km autonomy. Don’t put to much emphasis on marginal aspects while forgetting how good is the whole package.

[@Micael_Miranda]

@@mjaminian No question that Tesla technology is far superior than any other competitor atm. However we already have to pay a higher premium than americans, I would at least expect to get the same 'package'. Now, ofc, everyone has its own price tolerance. I find it difficult to be sold at this current prices. Also it won't have massive adoption if prices don't come down.

The buffer is not counted in the 66.6 kWh full charge. At 0.0 kWh SOC, the pack has a buffer of 3.3 kWh

Hi Bjørn. The Model Ys on the way to Norway have two different codes, MTY03 or MTY07. People think that it means two different batteries. Could you verify if your test car is MTY03 or MTY07? (Not sure how to get this info. I got mine from the source code on order page)

[@ralph5198]

I am really curious Bjorn. The range difference between the model Y and model 3 seems big because drag coefficient is nearly identical and weight increase is not too big.

[@ratmanbrian]

Actual drag is the drag coefficient multiplied by the cross-sectional area of the car. As I see it, the Y has a bigger area than the 3, so the resulting drag is greater, resulting in a reduced range.

The emissions testing codes that are forced to be public are not applicable here. I was only reacting to your "Come on Elon..." comment, like he has done something different than Mercedes Benz, BMW, and most others.
