Tesla batteries went from fully charged to fully disabled after botched patch, lawsuit claims

Tesla is back in court, this time over allegations its automatic software updates severely hobbled or completely disabled the batteries in Model S and X vehicles, with the only official recourse being a $15,000 battery replacement.

In the example of the California plaintiff, the suit alleges that an over-the-air update in late September of last year reduced his Model S's battery range from 270 miles to just 80 miles per charge and caused his car to broadcast a"BMS_u029" error message, which the lawsuit describes as an indicator the battery"is depleted or inoperable."
