Re: High voltage battery discharged to 0% by itself

No, there was no scheduled preheat. The car was unplugged at the time also. Normally I don't notice any discharge too. This was the first time I've left it for such long period. Now I'm just wondering: Tesla says it's normal for Tesla to loose 1% charge/day even if not used. And they say it may vary...

Re: High voltage battery discharged to 0% by itself

An hour later, still 0% remaining, 15hrs to charge.
And about 1.5-2 hrs later it’s now at 2% so gaining visible charge now.

Re: Main battery discharged to 0% by itself

After 30mins of charging with the 230v charger it still says 0%. I believe this might be due to the fact that 0% is not actually 0% but perhaps 5 or 10% and therefore now it tries to gain this beyond 0 charge and will go upwards of 0 later. Will check in another hour or so… also the temp outside rig...

High voltage battery discharged to 0% by itself

Hi, I left the car for 2 weeks with charge around 50% on the SOC (edit: maybe it was less, 30-40%?). The temperatures were 0-5C for the first week and around -1C for the second week, the car was parked outside. When I came back the car has shown 0% charge! This never happened before but this is the ...

Re: Early adopter Twickenham

As for the handles, mine work normally, but I've observed that during some cold nights, when there was some water frozen in the handles, at first they didn't want to open at all. Bu then, after some time, they started opening, but didn't want to retract fully (sometimes no movement at all, later lea...

Re: Snow Driving?

Comparing my experience to driving 4x4 Subaru Forester and 4x4 Lancer Evo X (with well, plenty of torque ;)) + various FWD cars earlier. Actually, the Honda is much better on snow that I've feared. If you operate the gas pedal carefuly, actually it can oupterform ICE cars I think, because of the smo...

Re: Short trip winter range.

Hes, but the thing is, without preheating you would’ve used more energy during the trip as the car would anyways use it to heat up battery and interior.

Gas pedal reaction different in low temp?

I have observed, that in low temps (around 0C and below) the gas reaction is slower than it used to be in warmer temps. No turtle on dashboard, car was pre-heated etc. However, this still can be a) subjective due to me treating the gas pedal more gently due to snow, ice etc, b) due to low battery te...

Re: Short trip winter range.

My observation is that using pre-heating with cabin heating (with temp set to +18c inside in my case) vs. not using pre-heating at all or not using cabin heating, does not make that much difference on short distances in winter, as the battery heater eats ton of current anyways. So in my case, I've p...

Re: Charging speed type 2 public charger

Ok, I've managed to get the info from Tauron: this particular outlet is of older type and it supports only 3x16A. Therefore, this is exactly what EEEE said above and it will therefore not charge any faster. Bummer, but at least it should be healthier for the battery at this slow charging speed ;)
