When i got my car in August, 2018 maximum was about 300, well officially 310, but i never seen that. Going from 300 to 270 is exactly 10% Not to shabby.

My guess or hope, "soon" we can replace batteries without too much issues. https://electrek.co/2024/03/14/tesla-offering-lfp-battery-retrofits-earlier-model-3-under-warranty/ One question would be, by then, would it be worth replacing a batter on X years old car? I am almost at 50k miles...

Oh nice. Tesla only allows warranty if car' basic one did not expire. Those cars from 2018 did expire, therefore at least for now, Tesla is not an option sadly.

It is XCare EV Protection. In my opinion (very debatable) - it is better to set certain $ (roughly cost of warranty) aside in High Yield Saving/SP500/Bonds/Mutual funds to gain money over time and if you ever end up needing it, you will have the $ to cover it. At least that is what i used to do...

Thank you kindly linking it! rather than making me search for it. My car was build around that time per TSB July, 2018. So far charging at 48A using Wall Charger been okay, but now i know if something happens. Really appreciate it.

Really? I need to i guess keep couple of $k in the bank for Tesla if thats the case.

OP's history is very interesting. It is well outside a bell curve of issue. While a lot of them, not many major and there is also no cost shown for the 5 year ownership. I am like you, few problems here and there. I also got 45k miles on 2 of my original tires (other two got punctures) and i...

2018 M3 AWD 44,500 miles 70 highway/30 streets averaging 260 Wh/Mile Charging to 80/90 % at home and very little Supercharger 100% charge is 270 miles 270/310 is 13% loss :(

When i travel long distances in my model 3, i charge to 100%, put in my final destination and Tesla will automatically route me to the SC and will automatically start to precondition the battery. Since in your trip it is the same, maybe do 90% to get better efficiency. I am in SoCal, so even if...

nice to hear. Never heard of this before happening.

I got my car around the same time as you and got about the same miles. I already changed my 12V battery last year, but i got a warning about 12v battery explicitly. You chatting with Tesla implies they can't diagnose an issue remotely? Errors kind of point towards your HV battery not 12V, but i...

No Dashcam footage? I hope it works out for you however this goes. and glad you are ok

I did not read into details, just rules applied from 1990 to current. I guess i was under wrong assumption that "any" car that has a battery in California (EV, hybrid, plug-in hybrid) are warrantied to 150k miles or 10 years. Good luck

Yes, i agree. But what prevents Tesla saying no outside warranty? Since, at least for now, only Tesla can do this minus couple of shops here and there.

Just curious since you are in California, battery should be warrantied up to 150k miles https://www.kbb.com/car-advice/hybrid-ev-battery-warranty/ California goes even further, requiring a 10-year, 150,000-mile warranty on EV and hybrid batteries. Toyota has adopted that standard in all 50...
