CNBC writes that the OTA update arrived in 2019 after a Model S caught fire in Hong Kong. Tesla said the update, pushed out over an “abundance of caution,” would revise charge and thermal management settings on Model S and Model X vehicles.
But one Model S owner, David Rasmussen, said that the update had reduced the vehicles’ battery charging speed, maximum capacity, and range temporarily. The matter went to court in August 2019.
