…was reading these 15 pages to feel better about my own beloved MS, but hallas; my story has
the highest horror-level out here:
P85 Nov 2013 328k km; after some battery malfunction, received a replacement battery 2 years / 120k km ago. This was a DOWNGRADE from my otherwise perfect / non-degraded Spec B to a Spec A battery (yes, with a.o. the SC limitation from 120kW to 84kW). Tesla’s freaking lawyer would not even answer my inquiry for (payed) reinstatement of my
old battery… Safe from this drama, Tesla has done a reasonable job in maintaining this intensively used car, with a fare balance between coulance and paying-through-the-nose..(and I'm still in love with this car like on day one..)
Back to today: “new” pack is well-treated; operating range 30%-90%, practically all AC charge and average consumption of 193wh/km (in miles: really low). Full (98%) charge this morning, battery-first-time ever I guess….down to…
198 miles or 318 km.
A 120km supercharge from near-empty takes half an hour; and if I need to run the battery down to <7% on dash I also need to call a tow truck, as the car shuts down. This degradation, (in kWh; range doesn’t count), is still within 30% warranty-limit, but way off compared to you concerned owners with 6% degradation…
This must be the current world record in untreated degradation…
Anyone had / knows of a similar case, where Tesla successfully helped out?
If nothing else, hope you feel better about your own MS's ;-)
