Upgrading Sig "A-packs" to 90 kWh

[islandbayy]

I concur. The 90 packs are garbage. 50,000 miles in 1 1/2 years with a range loss of over 22 miles. Actual capacity when new on the 90's is only about 85.5ish. Mins down to 77.9kWh.

I would be happy with a fresh 85 D-pack. My A-pack is starting to show its age.

All 3 of my 90 packs have about 77.5kWh of usable energy from the factory. About 1 - 2 kWh more than my 85's.

That doesn't factor in degradation over time.

90 kWh packs have been hit hardest by degradation, DC charging throttling issues, performance counters and many bad things. And, of course, their kWh is optimistic to begin with.

I would steer clear of 90 kWh packs. 85 kWh and 100 kWh are better in so many ways.

 

[Piney999]

Maybe an upgrade to 100kWh perhaps. I would happily pay! I assume a 100 would fit in the hole vacated by the 85, right?

"he 90 packs have the silicon a-node and it causes severe charging degradation early in life. The 90 packs are a pig in a poke."

As a former 90D owner, you are correct about fast early degradation.

It's too bad Tesla is doing nothing for those customers.

What do you mean! They get special counters just for them!
