New battery pack

Symptoms of a dying battery in a Tesla Model S:

  1. Range decreases after full charge. I was seeing around 170 miles range instead of 200+ after a full daily charge. This is for an 85kWh battery.
  2. For 2 days in a row car didn’t charge even though it was plugged in overnight.
  3. Turned off scheduled charge and car said charging was complete even though it was showing battery partially full.

Today Tesla support picked up my car and later called to say they have to keep car overnight to replace the battery pack.

I hope it will be a newer battery pack that will let me take advantage of 120kw super chargers. My current battery pack was limited to 90kw.
