Great thought, maybe we can get pictures of the battery pack? Any distinguishing difference we can determine if they are playing the so game!?
I wanna win!!!! I think you have something going here
You'd have to remove the pack from the car. The 400V pack has the two extra modules in the front on top and the 350V pack doesn't have the bump in front. You can only see it by dropping the battery from the car though. Someone who knows how to run diagnostics on the car might be able to see something in the data.
This makes sense to me. But who knows? Strange things have happened before.
I don't believe that there is any legal requirement to put a sticker on the battery at all? And arguably an 85 pack, software limited to 75, is still a 75 pack. So I don't know how Tesla could be falling afoul of any laws. What did they do when the went from 60 to 70? It was a similar situation.
The US has fairly strict laws to support emergency responders. I think the label on the pack needs to be labeled accurately with the pack voltage. I don't believe there is any requirement that they accurately label the capacity though.
If Europe doesn't have laws like this, they can mislabel the voltage on the pack and get away with it.
