Is it possible to add a switch to get Battery Report by cars age?
Hi James,
As you know, a lot of Tesla's are using LFP batteries and they seem to be affected more by calendar aging than by actual miles travelled. For instance there is a user "Flinchy" who has a car that is of similar age to my car and he has travelled 160,000 miles compared to my 24,000 miles. However the battery degradation is almost identical between both cars!
Therefore it seems that the battery report would be more useful to compare cars of a similar age, rather than similar mileage. Is it possible to make that type of comparison available in the battery report? Maybe via a checkbox mileage/or age?

All good - hope it gets some votes - would be good to compare LFP battery degradation based on calendar age only.
Hi @crc77 I've tried to change the title of the post but I can't seemed to be able to make any changes.
Can you change the title of the feature request? Need some more votes - perhaps something like "Better battery reports for LFP based vehicles"
I lodged a ticket for this exact same thing: providing a calendar aging only option for battery reports. My description of the reasoning below:
"I have been worrying about the capacity of my Model Y’s LFP battery after 2 years of ownership after looking at the battery report pages in Teslafi. However what I’ve discovered is that I feel the battery report is designed more for the NCA packs, that suffer degradation more so caused by kms than age. LFP batteries primarily degrade by age, seemingly less affected by high kms.
What I’d like to see in the battery report data settings is the addition of a ‘within x days of your current car’s age’ option. At the moment, that setting is infinite, so when I report on my battery (currently 414km) I am seeing cars with a "better" battery reading showing 426km. However my car has 45,000kms on it in November 2024, and the cars with 426km actually hit 45,000kms 18 months ago and now have 126,000kms on them. So their calendar age is MUCH less than mine when they took that reading at 45,000, skewing the result as it looks like my battery has degraded more at the same kms."
