Hi all. I noticed my car was experiencing sluggish acceleration among other issues. Stubborn to charge even at 80 degrees. Nearly impossible to climb small hills without losing speed. Lengthy accelerations to the speed limit. After enough of this I shipped my car to Gruber and waited to hear back. The news was bad.
There are apparently three known roadsters, including mine, with the 3.0 battery made in 2016 with an impedance issue. These packs have low impedance readings which kicks in a safety power limit in the firmware. Gruber's team has tried reloading the firmware with no luck and now they're in talks with Tesla corporate and engineers to find a solution. It's been a few weeks since I've last checked in and I'll be calling them in the morning to find out the latest.
Age issue or model year issue, that I don't know yet. I've never owned a vehicle with an issue this rogue. I'm here asking for advice. Do I consider selling the car... do I wait it out? Should I leave the car with Gruber for months on end or do I bring it back home? Just kind of at a loss on how to proceed and I'm wondering where I should "give up" as much as I love this car.
