Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

Just look at the two side vents on the front of your car. I had one that went bad and was like that for 6 months and I couldn't charge past 70KW. The first Tesla service center, Fremont, insisted nothing was wrong because there was no error displayed on my screen. I went next to Dublin and before even leaving when dropping off the car, they said they'd checked the logs and saw louver alerts for months.
They replaced the passenger side louver and charging speed returned to normal.

I've looked at this particular one each time I plug in. And this one is 14 stalls and there is hardly anyone ever there. No one was sharing a post with me. But appreciate the PSA on checking the plugs. Everyone should do that for safety's sake!
No. But if you're fans are screaming in the summer then yes.
What's worse is that it does a system check and if the car determines a louver is stuck, you won't get full charging even in the winter when it is cold and the louver would never have fully opened anyways. So if you have the issue and it isn't warm enough to open them, then you can't tell until it's warm enough to run your fans high where you can see they aren't opening.
I've never seen seen the fans running with the louvers closed except when I had a defective louver. Is it possible they were running really slow and I just didn't hear them with the louvers closed? Possibly.
I was told in Dublin that this is a really common problem that is often never diagnosed unless the logs are specifically checked for this.

Ironically my post gets moved to snippiness yet all I do is quote your message and post a 10 second video without attacking anyone....
Couldn't resist to challenge yet another disinformation:
Here are some snippies for your knowledge, all tagged as Off Topic:

To keep this on point, Supercharged yesterday and got an additional 2 miles again. Net loss now is 21 miles after 2019.16.x firmware. I noticed the last time it did a calculating at the end but this time it did not.
They are afraid you have a hidden agenda and are some fat cat hiding behind a mask.

No change in mine in 2 weeks except losing 2 miles from the whopping 10 that they gave back after taking 50.
So net loss from new is still 42 miles, from what it was pre update is still down 33 miles
Also, Supercharging is even slower now
No, I still have all my range. They just slowed the max charge rate down and made the taper very aggressive.
Probably a V1, though I'm guessing. The car was new in March 2016, shortly after the 90's first came out (I think), with whatever pack was being produced at that time.

Definitely not a V1. V1 was 2012 and some early 2013

You have to consider that I haven't been on a new firmware update for over 1.5mos. I went from 19.24.4 (Jul 24) to 19.32.2.2 (Sep 18) because my car was unable to communicate to Tesla and pushing firmware updates OTA didn't work until I took the car in. Two Supercharges since this update and gained 4 miles total.No change in mine in 2 weeks except losing 2 miles from the whopping 10 that they gave back after taking 50.

I noticed that. They do it for safety reason, similar to "Protect and Prolong"
Mine fluctuates each time, like cha-cha, 2 miles forward, 2 miles backward.
They weren't making 90kWh packs in 2012-2013... You are thinking of the A revision of the 85kWh packs...

Ah.. The Paula Abdul charging method... Or was that 2 miles forward and one mile back?I noticed that. They do it for safety reason, similar to "Protect and Prolong"

The hell of all this is that Tesla was much more open about issues with the batteries and drive systems until just a few years ago. They never talked a lot about upcoming software updates, but when customers reported issues with the drive systems Tesla spoke ore-or-less openly about those issues and their efforts to fix them.
Ever since they started wholesale throttling of charging rates a couple years ago, they've really clammed up about everything.
Their data must be indicating a severe and wide-spread problem with the aging batteries for them to be so afraid of discussing the issues now.
