I forgot to mention, I asked the employee his take / why the battery health test failed 4 times. His response: Service mode is for service centers only, I don't know if you followed the testing procedure correctly. 🤦‍♂️

Results from service appointment. Summary: Tesla took no action during the appointment, told me the battery is fine and tried to explain that basically the range indicator isn't reliable. I went there, talked to someone for 10 mins and then I left with the car. Car was never seen by Tesla. The...

Found this response in another thread from @wk057 who has a business working on / repurposing Tesla car batteries. Source: Has your car shut down before it hits zero? Also credit to @Rocky_H for linking to various threads related to this issue which is where I found this post.

Haven't done this yet and wasn't aware of this until now. Will try this out in the next week or so, thank you.

Great video thanks. I got some notices about shutdown before but it was much more sudden than in the video. In the most recent case (dying with 7 miles left) I don't think I got the "Unable to Drive" earlyish warning, I think it went straight to red "Vehicle Shutting Down - Please Pull Over...

Added the info about the battery health test failing to tomorrow's service appointment and got this response :rolleyes:

After the test completes it should show a result such as Battery Health: 85%. For my car it shows Battery Health: --%.

Initiated a 4th battery health test last night, and it failed again for the 4th time. This time I caught it before it charged to 100%. Service appointment tomorrow.

Yes, plugged into a Tesla wall charger with a 50 amp breaker so it's at the max kw possible.

Just finished the 3rd battery health test this morning and still no result! I guess I'll just try again but I'm losing hope. I want to get this test done before my March 8th service appointment.

Thanks for the data point. I probably should have mentioned that in the first say 3 months of having the car when it also happened to be warmer I did take the battery down to roughly 2, 1, 0, and -2 (not my intention). The car ran fine and did not force me to go at very slow speed (30 mph or...

Started the battery health test last night at 16% SOC, this morning I see the test completed but I got no result. Battery Health --%. Will reattempt soon.

1. I'm currently running BMS calibration, currently at 52%, haven't charged in a few days. 2. Once I get down to a low SOC say 20% or so I will run a battery health test from the service menu. 3. I have a service appointment set for March 8.

Interesting, thanks for pointing this out. I'm going to reserve judgment as this seems to be heavily debated. It's worthwhile to note that Tesla's manual is consistent with what you said about the LV battery getting damaged if the HV battery goes to 0%. It's also noteworthy that Tesla does not...

Thank you. Yes, I drive a lot but it's not every day, I might go for up to 3 days without driving a long distance, it's very variable. Since reading the advice on this thread I'm letting the car sit at lower SOCs without being plugged in, currently at 62%. Will be doing the degradation test at...
