Did anyone notice a change to performance after installing the N172127150 (HV battery notification) update ? Specifically - has anyone else noticed a change to the regenerative braking ?
My observation - prior to the update, regenerative braking in the "L" mode worked wonderfully at any speed. True one pedal driving. After the update, the regenerative characteristics at freeway speed have diminished considerably, the vehicle exerts minimal regenerative braking. At speed below 40, there appear to be no change - strong regen. Above 40, weak regen.
Anyone else see this ?
BTW - 20,000 miles on my Bolt and this is my second EV...previously put 100,000 miles on a Leaf (useless regenerative braking)

Many forum members have reported the car thinking it had a full charge after the update. Even though it thinks it does, it does not. But regenerative braking requires a battery that's not full. But after the update, if the car thinks the battery is fully charged then regenerative braking will be reduced. This is probably what you're experiencing. Should settle out after your first full charge of the battery.

Reprogramming resets all the adaptive data. It will return to normal as you dive it.

You guys rock - I concur with your explanation - I had simply not driven enough miles after the update. Coincidentally, my driving habits of 100 miles per day have changed considerably since the update and my charge status has tended towards a higher net charge. I simply had not made the logical connection. Thanks.

Seems like Model 3 owners just got their 3's nerfed with a new OTA update, and now their 3's are slower off the line. OTA updates: double edged swords.

The Model 3's performance still meets the original specifications after the update.

I'm sure the owners appreciate the "correction".

bro1999, why is it always something about Tesla? Even on Bolt sites you still troll. The acceleration is a known issue and is being worked, as of 5 DAYS ago. https://twitter.com/mbrucem/status/999789794388533249

Now, let's get back to our normally schedule program!

Just saw this post----I had the same issue yesterday right after the update----but would you think that the dealership would "warn" customers---"Hey, your L mode will be a little quirky for a day or so." Crap. As I drove out the dealership, I had to hit the brakes as I thought I lost L mode and it only defaulted to D mode. The answer was when I turned around and went back in---"Oh yeah, a few guys have reported the same thing---it will get better in a day or so." Communication from my service department is less than stellar!

I also understood they charged your HVB! This will cause the lack of regen when it's a full charge.
The systems are reset and will take some drive time to reset the adaptions to your driving habits.

Most people don't understand whats going on and complain about it, without understanding it's characteristics

yes I did too and my total mileage after a recharge has dropped to 215 or so

I noticed that it reset the Hill Top Reserve and charge schedule, etc.


So effectively the next charge was at 100% capacity. I noticed the grayed out regen arrow icon right away while attempting to "L" my way to a stop.
