I Good point - should have checked the sticker. Looks like I got lucky and Tesla snuck in a 90kWh pack. I’d assume DRasheed’s story would be more typical with an 85 replacing an 85. I did try out supercharging today - from 17% to 90%, started at 116kW, 90kW in the middle, and 40kW by the end...

Finally! After 4 months (of driving a loaner, so no complaints here) the battery replacement is complete. Didn’t help the first battery installed failed during installation so they had to order another. Interestingly, the loaner was a 2015 S with only 60k miles, yet it already had abysmal...

State is VA, but battery is two weeks shipping so assuming it is from NV or CA. I wasn’t offered an option for new, so that might not be available for the earlier model years, but might be able to find out more when I get the battery installed this Thursday.

Adding a data point for out of warranty battery replacement for those interested…2013 S85, 135k miles, $10,500 quote for remanufactured pack (1088815-01-B) plus 2hr labor ($380) plus tax ($630). With a 4yr/50k warranty, this won out for me over going a 3rd party repair.

Working as of July 13th

First time it happened, I waited ~4 weeks before replacing with no issues other than the warning. At that point the 12V was about 5 years old. Second time I got the warning that 12V battery was about 4 years old and I ended up doing a hard reset and the warning went away. It’s been about 5...

I haven't been able to find detailed info on the 12v battery charging on the forum, so I figured I'd ask...then commence the experiments. I'm interested in: 1 - min/max volts (or time) that trigger charging commands from the main pack 2 - any difference in behavior depending on if the car is...

Had a main pack failure ~25k in September 2014, vin P13102, 18 months old, not an A pack (can't remember exactly which one it was though). A friend was driving so I don't know the exact details, but shutdown occured a minute or two after warnings appeared. Never had any degredation or issues...

I was on 5.0 build 1.35.98 at the time. I don't recall being able to enable/disable sleep mode with that build. Also, others may have been seeing better results with 1.35.102.

Must be REM sleep - a cars gotta dream, right? I agree, though it is significantly better than 4.5. I was hoping after a week or so of no activity, it'd go from sleep to hibernate. Maybe that'll be a 5.1 upgrade. :) brianman - it pained me also to leave it for so long, but business called. My...

Thought I'd quantify the idle power drain with 5.0. The car was left unplugged for 5 weeks. I checked the charge (using the iphone app) less and less frequently to see if it would go into some deeper sleep eventually. Overall vampire loss was 6.2 miles per day. Also, I'd say at first look...
