After watching some videos showing the effectiveness of auto braking in Tesla and car equippped with Lidar system, I would might paying more to drive a "taxi". Just like airbags, not that I want to use it, but in the unfortunate event, it can save live(s). What is $1K, $2K or $3K more when our car cost in excess of $150K?

My BMW225xe PHEV high voltage battery has residual capacity of 42% as measured by PML. Car is 5.5 years old and very low mileage. PML refused to replace battery under warranty because OBD did not flag battery fault even though battery severely degraded. BMW Asia is aware of this but is not helpful. Anyone has experience with such severely degraded battery and managed to get battery replaced by AD? Any advice what I can do? I thought the industry standard is anything less than 70%? If still need to wait for OBD to scream, it does not look well on bmw Asia. Please keep us updated as I am eyeing bimmer EV but with this, I will be having 2nd thoughts. Good luck! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eleong Neutral Newbie March 20 Share March 20 Yes it seems 70% is industry norm also for BMW in other countries so I was very surprised when PML insisted that battery degradation is not warrantied regardless of severity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means at least another years of waiting to see if solid state batteries become a reality. Wondering how much Mercedes is going to charge for their solid state battery? Wont be cheap. In the meantime, LFP is going to take over the lowest cost product category. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
