Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged.
  • Disconnect the 12V battery to ensure safety during work on the electrical systems.
2. Battery Health Check
  • Remove the rear trunk panel to access the battery connections.
  • Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and clean if necessary with a wire brush.
  • Use a multimeter to measure the voltage of individual battery cells and ensure they are within acceptable ranges.
3. Software Update
  • Connect the vehicle to a Wi-Fi network.
  • Check for available software updates through the Tesla app or vehicle settings.
  • Follow prompts to update the software, which may optimize battery management and performance.
4. BMS Calibration
  • Reconnect the 12V battery.
  • Start the vehicle and allow it to enter a full charge cycle, bringing the battery to 100% capacity.
  • After fully charging, perform a discharge cycle by driving the vehicle normally until the battery reaches a low state of charge.
  • This recalibration can help the BMS readjust and improve performance.
