RESETTING MY TESLA BATTERY AFTER 37,000 MILES

EV Channels Review

This video explores the effectiveness of a Tesla battery BMS reset procedure after 37,000 miles, aiming to recalibrate the displayed range. The host, driving a 2020 Long Range Model Y, initially rated at 316 miles (later updated to 326 via software), attempts to drain the battery to below 10% before charging to 100% at a Supercharger. The primary takeaway is that while the BMS reset procedure might provide a more accurate estimation of current range by allowing the system to see the battery's full potential, it does not magically restore lost capacity. The host concludes that their battery degradation is likely minimal (around 4-5%), and the displayed range after the reset did not significantly increase, settling around 280-282 miles. The video also touches on the reliability of the Supercharger network and the benefits of using the OptiWatt app for charging management.
