I mean, that would be a weird reason to limit it, but every other reason is weird too. 12% degradation over 100k miles would be pretty high. They've started with 12% degradation from the factory by design in order to avoid it!
I can't think of a good reason for this, tbh.
- Brakenshire 7y agoI suspect they desperately want to avoid further scandal, especially with electric cars because these are supposed to be turning over a new leaf after dieselgate. They're not sure exactly how well battery thermal management will work, so they choose a strict limit. I suppose if they find there isn't a problem they could relax it OTA. No-one complains if they get more later, only if they get less.
- codeulike 7y agoThat is quite a good theory.
