And I am curious as hell to find out what is going to happen long term.
Are we (the ones who updated) all going to continue to get reduced supercharging rates, and decreased range in the name of (apparently) safety? While you might be at 200,000 miles in a few years and still be able to claim the same?
Or will you have a battery issue, one that you have no battery warranty for because you didn't update, and if it is catastrophic in nature, and possibly if it burns other things down with it, maybe your house, you quite possibly may have no house or liability insurance for either because you are purposefully engaging in risky behaviour, or neglected maintenance, or however the insurance companies contracts word it where ones actions increased risk beyond what someone is normally expected to do to reduce risk. (Comparable to if someone has a windstorm and the wind and rain causes tens of thousands of dollars damage, but the insurance company discovers you have a 50 year old shingle roof with 30 year warranty shingles, they deny the claim because you should have replaced the 30 year life expectancy roof 20 years previously.)
But if you don't charge to high levels and let it sit, because we now understand the situation (I think), is it going to be ok? Is that the only reason the batteries are spontaneously combusting?
Are we now sure this whole issue is about the risk for consumers to blow up the battery? Or a conspiracy to prolong a few thousand batteries to beyond the warranty period?
If we all promise in writing to not ever charge to 100% or store the car at anything higher than 90% could they bring back the faster supercharging rates and higher capacity? Or is it another case of a few idiots ruining it for everyone else.
