So the last 3 charged it has maintained 23 miles lost. After getting airbags replaced, I had to ask for the notes the person read to me the other day. Service rep copy and pasted it in an e-mail.
Me: Severe battery degradation within last month. Lost mileage every time I’ve charged since I noticed a severe drop in range. So far within last month lost at least 23 miles.
Pre-Diag: There are no HV battery faults. The decrease in range is due to the increase in ambient heat. The Battery management system has recalculated the range to compensate for the energy it has to consume to cool the battery and drive unit(s) in hot weather.
So checking on my TeslaFi log I was already losing range when it wasn't hot yet so that's a bunch of BS. It wasn't until recently it got hot. I even asked the person (not tech) that does that mean I'll start gaining some miles lost when it gets cool again? I already know the answer to that. If this was true, I would have noticed higher than normal degradation the last two summers.
I'm not sure if this is specific to this service center (Rocklin) but they don't even wash cars now because of how overwhelmed they are from new deliveries and those take priority.
