So what is the reason admitted to for doing so?
Short of a full blown jury trial I don't think we would ever know.

So what is the reason admitted to for doing so?
is this at certain SOCs? Mine will drain the battery actively above 80% SOC. So normal vampire drain is 1-2mi per day, while above 80 is up to 4mi/hour
Speaking of electric vehicle battery fires, here is good article about a Chevy Bolt catching fire, and explaining that the Chevy Bolt has recently received a software update for a recall to prevent fires in the car. I don't follow this as closely as many others here but I certainly haven't seen this on the front pages of the media as it is with Tesla.
Of course Chevy doesn't just sneak in the update in the middle of the night, owners unknowing other than the information of "bugs and fixes", they have to drive to the dealer for a lengthy service appointment, labeled a recall, and therefore there is full disclosure regarding the details for the update.
I suppose this is the difference between a car company and a technology company.
to wit: I'm willing to park a Tesla in my garage overnight, any year any model. I'm not willing to do so with a Chevrolet Bolt 2017-2019 and I'd be undecided about a newer bolt considering how bad they've handled the current issue.
Chevy has not taken two years to disclose issues as Tesla has done here. They also are spending 800 million to fix the issue vs 1.5million in Tesla's case.
I am actually an owner of a Bolt '19 which is seemingly not part of the recall apparently because my battery was assembled in the USA unlike the ones in the recall.
Sounds like they are just doing it to get modules to analyze to try to come up with another software fix. Or at least a way to not replace them all.Well, this is a good news:
Exclusive: GM to replace all battery modules in some Chevy Bolts to mitigate fire risk
GM will replace all modules in some Chevy Bolt EVs within weeks to avoid Bolt EV fires. Electrek sits down with a spokesperson from GM to get the details.electrek.co
These modules will be sent back to GM and LG for a forensic analysis. GM will try to find the defects and figure out if an in-situ detection method can be devised. They hope that they will be able to find a pattern or come up with a reliable detection mechanism. The big caveat is that if they are able to detect all modules that are defective, then only those modules will be replaced going forwards.
What is most concerning is that Tesla can do this again in the future to bypass battery warranty claims. I also have no gotten any restoration. My battery is sitting at 57Kw on a 85Kw pack. Tesla waited until the warranty expired and now I am stuck with something that should have been covered.The thing that REALLY cheeses me off... I have gotten NO restoration... They KNEW about my range loss, since I was one of the first to complain about it before even the service centers knew about it. So that means Tesla saying that the data is not available is pretty much a lie to the court. And each time I complained, I got the standard longevity BS, and told that a future update would restore some or all of it. NOW they call it degradation, since the warrantee is done?
What a total load So much for being one of their FOUNDING buyers (meaning that without US, there would not be Tesla).
Ya, funny that PRIOR to the warrantee expiring, it was "to protect the longevity" and "A future update should restore most if not all", but now its degredation (sudden), not to protect the battery or you supercharged too much. Where I am from, they call that lying and fraud.What is most concerning is that Tesla can do this again in the future to bypass battery warranty claims. I also have no gotten any restoration.

Very true. Like someone said before, part of this deal should have been to extend battery warranty for the duration of the reduction in capacity, and guarantee it will never happen again. The fact that it wasn't part of the deal, indicates prolonging until some warranties expire was likely the strategy all along as multiple people pointed out here previously. Also, it wouldn't be surprising to see reduction in capacity through SW as these batteries age to prevent warranty claims.What is most concerning is that Tesla can do this again in the future to bypass battery warranty claims.

Oh well I guess my '19 Bolt will get a new battery....I was not under the recall as my battery were assembled in the USA and deemed safe.GM extends recall to cover all Chevy Bolts due to fire risk:
Of interest from the recall note I just received:GM extends recall to cover all Chevy Bolts due to fire risk:
Ingesting part Is they say do not charge or leave in the garage.GM extends recall to cover all Chevy Bolts due to fire risk:
does anyone know if 85/70s batteries are the same as what was used in roadster?
Roadster batteries were an off-the-shelf basically laptop cell not designed for EV's, as Tesla couldn't get a manufacturer to take them seriously enough to custom make cells. The 60/70/85 packs use a different chemistry than the roadsters.Ingesting part Is they say do not charge or leave in the garage.
on a different note, this article seems to say Tesla solved this problem at roadster time…

does anyone know if 85/70s batteries are the same as what was used in roadster? (Minus the size)
A coworker of mine has been talking to GM about getting a buyback for his Bolt. Looks like it’s going to happen.GM extends recall to cover all Chevy Bolts due to fire risk:
