Yes. Agree with above. Now you have s chance on a 60 to do it!
I believe balancing kicks in at 93%. Not sure what happens on a software locked car.
Some have reported the SvC has charged to true 100% for them to balance.

That's a very nice surprise from Tesla. But maybe a little performance boost could also help them get out of there faster!

Elon, please ramp up Semi production!
Electrek has an official response.
You do realize the BMS constantly adjusts estimated range based on driving conditions. My miles went up over time.

This is a magnificent thing Tesla has done!
With thousands of people getting on the road to uncertain destinations, escaping one of the largest storms in history, giving them an extra 20% of range might will take a lot of anxiety out of their situation.
Tesla...it drives like no other.

An opportunity cost is not $0. On top of that take into account that someone had to implement such an update - then take into account possible issues/complaints from such an upgrade (People have claimed an update damaged their screen - cause software bugging, etc).
This is a good gesture and Tesla should be applauded for it.
A bit off topic, but just a quick note. I was Supercharging at around 10% up to 90% once a week for a while. I was losing 1 RM each time (per week). So, with about 10K miles and 9 months I have 4% degradation. Believe me, I feel your pain. Since stopping that two months ago I've not lost any RM. I've keep my SOC between 60%-90%, which is my typical commute. Is it the low State Of Charge (SOC), or heat from the SC going from 10% to 90%, or my 90 battery with different chemistry? I don't know. However, whenever I asked someone that posted they had a low (or no) degradation, I asked about their level of discharge. All told me they keep a high SOC (80%-90%). And one of those persons had a 90 battery. So maybe not battery chemistry.
