Not yet, I think the settlement just got finalized a couple days ago.

Oh-oh, hopefully it is not another name for the infamous gradual battery capacity loss data reset. Make sure your capacity bar display is well-documented prior to this testing.
Leafer77 said:In other news, my Carpool co-worker who has almost the same commute that I do just lost his 4th bar. He's at 50,000 miles and will be going to the dealership this week. I asked him to post his data for the spreadsheet. The only difference between him and I, is that he drives the car at 75mph vs. me at 65mph and parked his car outside.
thankyouOB said:it is 60,000 miles in how many years to qualify for the free battery?
please, remind me.
i have a 2011 with 45k and down 2 bars and expecting to lose a third this summer.
Well, if you want to win, I'd suggest you do not point out to the arbitrator that (as you have reported) The technician relied on changes in the GOM over ~10 miles of driving to reach their expert opinion, which IMO, would tend to indicate that he/she is an idiot.Leafer77 said:I had my 3rd party inspection completed. The technician concluded that there is a problem and he stated, "Suspect an Internal Battery Failure."
The technician noted that the battery range was 45 when he started and immediately dropped 20 miles, after 10 miles of driving. No A/C was used and light to moderate acceleration.
This corroborates my claims about the range being much lower, even more so than the range charts posted by the community for my vehicle.
I can add comments to this report for the Arbitrator, but I'm wondering what more can I say?

I would of course not get into any discussion of the method used by the technician to reach his conclusion. If it was me, I would write a paragraph or two summarizing the conclusion of the technician, and emphasizing that the technician was an independent tech, not hired by you, who concluded that the car has a problem which he suspects is an internal battery failure. I would also emphasize at every opportunity that the car's utility has decreased to the point that the car is basically worthless. Don't rely on the BBB to connect the dots. You should try to do that for them every chance you get.Leafer77 said:edatoakrun said:Well, if you want to win, I'd suggest you do not point out to the arbitrator that (as you have reported) The technician relied on changes in the GOM over ~10 miles of driving to reach their expert opinion, which IMO, would tend to indicate that he/she is an idiot.Leafer77 said:I had my 3rd party inspection completed.

The GOM was just one variable, but there was also Charge and Capacity Bar's that the technician accounted for, which I didn't mention above. I was just using those statements to make a point.
I'm wondering if or what I should add to the report? For instance, should I say that I agree with the conclusion from the Technician and leave it at that or should elaborate on any of the findings or reiterate my prior statements?
