I would 100% prioritize length of battery warranty on any used tesla. Most owners charge at home on a daily basis, so you might only use supercharging a couple times a month and safe a few bucks each time with FUSC. An out of warranty battery that fails is a 10k - 25k event. I learned the...

If you are still under your bumper to bumper warranty it will be covered. If you are just under the battery and powertrain warranty it will not (If i remember correctly, this post is 2 years old)

Based just on looking at the map, it appears that Anchor Way Hood river location is the quickest in and out if traveling on 84 west, and the Cascade Ave location would be quicker traveling east. Is this correct?

I work near this location. The bubble tea spot T4 is my favorite for taiwan style bubble tea.

Man I'm so jealous. I specifically inquired about that pack and they told me it would be 23K plus a suspension adjustment or something like that. I wish I could have good range and decent supercharging so my car would be good to use for road trips. As it is now it is fine for short/medium...

Yes, I did. It works as expected for an 8 year old remanufactured battery. max range around 235-240 and crappy supercharging with max speeds around 70kw even in favorable conditions. Came with a 4yr/50k warranty so I should have a least a functional battery until 2026, at which time I will be...

I'm really curious how you found out that it was only a shunt resistor. Did the service center tell you that?

I finally got my car back after 5 weeks in service. Replacement pack charges to 214 at 90%, which estimates out to about 238 full. That's a bit better than my old pack, which topped out around 218-220 recently. Not sure if things will change much after I drive it a while, can't imagine it...

I have a 2013 S85 with 100k miles and had the same error. I was quoted a remanufactured 85 battery for 11k or a new 90 battery for 22k plus suspension adjustment. I was told both would have a 4yr/50k warranty. I chose the 85 and my car has been in service for 5 weeks waiting for the pack to...

My S85 has been at the Portland OR service center for a month waiting for out of warranty HV battery repair and I have had a loaner the whole time.

My car has been sitting in service for 3+ weeks with no ETA for completion. I assume they are waiting on locating and transporting a replacement battery. But I'm cruising around in a loaner 90D so they can take as long as they want. My expectation is that my $11k will get a battery that...

I didn't ask. I understand that it is valuable in theory, but I don't have any way to transport or store a 1,000 lb battery, and I don't have the knowledge to mess with something that has enough voltage to kill me. Has anyone actually tried to sell a failed or used battery pack? Who bought...

My experience was similar to what david posted above. 2013 S 85 with about 100k miles with a pack failure a couple months out of warranty. Was offered the 1088815-01-B pack for 10,500 plus 500 labor with a 4 year warranty. When I looked up the product number online it looks like this is a...

All this talk about cost of battery replacement made me realize how high the $/Kwh still is. I feel like years ago there was talk of tesla being down to $150/Kwh and on their way to $100/Kwh which would be when battery cars could really compete with gas cars on a cost basis. But now we are...

If there was any way I could be sure I would get a pack like that, I would happily do the replacement. Unfortunately I think it is more likely I will get a heavily used 85 that is batterygate limited and similar to what I had before (220 max range and reduced supercharger speeds)
