Question to the collective braintrust that probably has been asked before and will be asked again... Have my battery really degraded this much?
With the new percentage indicator I've done some comparisons between that and rated range, after I noticed a fairly low range after a range charge yesterday:
99% charge showed 252 miles of range (regen limiter pointing at about "4 o'clock")
65% charge showed 166 miles of range
49% charge showed 125 miles of range
If you extrapolate these, they all show ~255 miles of range at 100%, where I would expect 265 miles.
Background:
S85: Have had the car since December 2012, has "A" battery, and driven about 35k miles. Done a fair bit of road-tripping and supercharging, probably four-five times a year, rarely done range-charging and I don't know if I ever actually finished a range charge (meaning I've always unplugged and drove off before it stopped charging).
Is this battery degradation or is the meter just off its calibration, or is the battery pack unbalanced?
If actual degradation, is this along what one should expect for this amount of use or is it "too much"?
