Comment on Elon Musk reveals Tesla software-locked cheapest Model Y, offers 40-60 more miles of range
SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 8 months agoHonestly it makes sense if it pushes the batteries out of the optimal (say 40-80%) charge level.
E.g. it wears out the battery faster.
But if, and only if, you’re getting an extension on the warranty where Tesla is eating the cost of the replacements.

Pay to disable a power save mode??

Basically and then that only makes sense if the company’s going to foot the bill. Otherwise they could just make it very very clear that by using extended mode they’re reducing the lifetime of the battery and doing so at their own risk, yadda yadda.
