Mostly a myth but if you Supercharge cold locally, without pre-heating the battery, it could conceivably cause the Battery Management System (BMS) to allow more power than ideal (at that battery temperature) for expediency's sake. Even in this case it wouldn't be enough to ruin a proper battery, so it looks like your battery had a manufacturing defect to begin with and that caused the short life.

I exclusively supercharged for about 9 months, less than 5000 miles, thanks to the 1 year supercharging deal.

Anyone with experience here, what happens next? I put in a service ticket. The error cleared but I don't plan on driving it until I take it for service. Would it not charge basically? I just charged yesterday morning and on the 3rd trip of the day got the error.

Just over 3000 miles on a 2026 Premium VIN 874xx got the three alerts that could not charge due to Voltage Sense Harness at least 1 brick MIA , triggers limp mode, and may not restart alert on June 28. No loaner until July 21.

Only truck at Service Center for HV Batt, all others PCS. Still waiting parts ordered June 29.

Loaner is 2024 Dual Motor Foundation VIN 28,0xx. Clicked on Notifications at top right, the dreaded PCS is there. Looking through alert log I found a PCS Alert from July 19, 3 days before it was in my possession, and two while I had it so far. Gets a cannot charge, service required PCS2a_051. Do I get a badge if it happens to my loaner??

Ironic thing is I asked for a Model Y since I test drove one to buy as a second vehicle to replace my gas Ford Escape. Was told I’m on top of the loaner list for the best…..

The 3 alerts with no warning when it could not charge. Never supercharged, only charged at home with mobile connector dialed back to 28 amps since new 7 months;
