I don't know the science behind the behavior, but I would think the loss is also related to initial capacity, so percentage really. Like 6AH/80 versus 1.7/53 or something. And in 10 years you'll be even lower. Will we cross at some point further down the road? At any rate, yeah not ideal but...

My "Gen 2" 3.0 battery was installed Aug 2021, with a CAC of 209.93 Just 50 miles later it was down to 208.58, but stayed close to there for a while. A year later, Aug 2022 & 2847 miles, it was 200.26 Two years later, Aug 15, 2023 and 5,768 miles, it was 194.20 Now, after 33 months & 6100 miles...

For a few years now, some of us Roadster owners have been showing our Roadsters at the annual Tesla Takeover at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo. The 2024 event is happening on Saturday, July 27 & Sunday, July 28. We've gotten a great reception all years. With the event now being two days...

Last night my adult son and I assembled ours. It's quite cool, with your choice of V1.5 shift lever or later push buttons. It even has a battery and PEM, but the trunk, while it has a pivot mechanism, does not open to see what's inside. The pivot just enables the trunk to slope down. We removed...

So, that's not dangerous to attempt? Or did you do something special?

Most of those are not commands - see The OVMS Console — Open Vehicles documentation for a list. The closest you have is a "module" command, but not a "module?" command.

OVMS V3 user here, Roadster V2.5 with R80 battery upgrade (2020 version) Got home from Tesla Takeover with relatively low ideal range left (25Miles Standard, 58Miles Range), and decided to do an OVMS Cooldown charge first. Look at the screenshot from the OVMS message history. At one point...

The Atascadero charger is an old 70 amp clipper creek unit. They removed the Roadster pkug and attached a J1772.

While traveling to/from the Tesla Takeover last weekend, I had problems charging at two different destination chargers. One is the old ex-RaboBank charger (was 70 amps) in Atascadero, the other at the Adeline Inn in Paso Robles. In both cases I attached the adapter to the plug, and then attached...

The destination chargers at Ranch 43 have been replaced by Tesla V3 SuperChargers.

What, if anything, do we know about the differences between the 2016-2019 and 2020+ 3.0 battery upgrade packs/cells/etc.?

Good point, as without Battery, PEM, VDS, and motor, what's left over is basically the glider as sent to Menlo Park from Lotus in England. But, a Roadster with a water-cooled Model 3 motor/PEM sounds pretty enticing to me and would probably hold up fairly well in the resale market if it works...

My 2021 3.0 pack is about 22 months old now. CAC has dropped from to 210.901 when installed to 198.37 today Only 5,131 miles driven - I need to get out more!

Sounds suspicious to me. I bought my 2011 Roadster new from the Menlo Park assembly/showroom. It had 25 miles on the Odometer. Zero sounds like someone reset the odometer. And if they've been sitting that long, the batteries are probably long since bricked. May be recoverable, I don't know.

208 Volts indicate that they have 3 phase power coming in. A link: 208 Volts Is a Weird Voltage. Where Did It Come From? - Thermal Corporation That it's only 12 amps could be that's all they wired up for, and set the charger accordingly, or that they set the charger up to not draw more than 12...
