Just another example of Tesla service CONTINUING to do the wrong thing. If the car is under battery warranty it should be replaced free of charge. So to sum it up I should expect an error message a day after my warranty ends on June 26, 2024. Edit- I also have the bumper to bumper warranty which should in theory cover this item with esa deductible.Was told Tesla Corporate sent notice to Service centers that it is to NOT be covered under warranty. Even though in my case, it's being replaced and it's 6 month end of life notice brings it to end of life before warranty is over, it is not going to be covered. Corp States it's a wear item. Well, so are suspension components, but if a suspension component fails before the bumper to bumper warranty is over, it's covered. This fuse battery is failing before the battery & drive unit warranty is up, but it's not being covered.
Right now, my repair estimate is just over $700. I can see a lawsuit being filed by someone over this as breach of warranty.
I'd have no arguments paying for the replacement if the warranty was up, however, this rubs me the wrong way.
Will Tesla be offering the ludicrous fuse for those who want increased power? From my understanding you need that and the contactors for the full ludicrous upgrade. Would the fuse alone provide increased performance???
