What is your SOH? Milage? and how do you use your Battery?

[Texas Dan]

I connected a bluetooth OBD II transmitter to my Lightning for the first time so my ABRP app could read data from my Lightning. ABRP indicated I have 3.5% degradation on my battery pack. I have over 24k miles on my Lightning.

I think this amount of degradation is as expected. I did expect the buffer to soak up the degradation for a bit longer. I’m not sure how much I trust the readings from the ABRP app but I will keep an eye on these numbers to see if the degradation levels out or continues to get worse.

BTW, charging has been about 50% L2 and 50% DCFC, lots of trips between Texas and Colorado.

2023 ER Lariat, just over 16K miles, HVB age 9.5 months, SOH 99.5%

Maybe used a DCFC 15-20 times max - probably less.

Lowest its ever been is 9% (that was a "fun" trip) - usually don't go below 20%

I get free charging at work, so I charge there as much as possible. Usually no more than 90% unless I know I'm doing some distance driving in the next day or so. Usually try and get it down to around 30% before I start charging again. It probably averages 50-60% if I had to guess. When its hot (over 80F) or cold (below 50F), I keep it plugged in but not charging at home so that it can (hopefully) thermally manage the battery.

But mostly, I drive it in 2 pedal, sport mode, and while I don't regularly launch it, I do drive it "in a spirited manner" , use the heat/AC as much as needed to keep me comfortable, and overall try not to worry too much about it.

Mine is still at 100%, 20 months old, DCFC maybe 30 times total.
[Edit] forgot to mention I have roughly 14,500miles on it.


Michigan weather, so we do get colder temperatures, but I don't precondition and I never follow ABC (not deliberately, I just can't).
I charge when I have to (generally between 20-30%) and I charge to 80%.

You could try this App if you have android to get a second opinion. I assume your OBDII reader has bluetooth connectivity.

8 year old Model S. Apparently with original battery and motors and 430,000 miles. Battery SOH at 72%. I would love to know what SOH would have been on this car if it put the same mileage on it in 20 years. We already have some high milage (100K) Lightnings out there. I am looking forward to see similar results for our Trucks.

Anyone knows what the Battery failure rates has been on these sedans? Is this a unicorn or is it normal?
