    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Yes the battery matches. However, it does not match the original estimate I accepted.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Apparently there is something f’d up going on: They added another $200 in labor fees (Discharge HV battery). I never received a copy of the new invoice when I paid and I never physically signed any of the invoices in person. This totals 4 estimates I was given. The only invoices I accepted were...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    well in that case they totally f’d me because that makes sense now with the rated miles. I put the whole charge my on credit card so I’ll let you guys know if I’m locked out of the car haha 😂.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    That’s exactly what I thought until I saw the range exactly at 265ish. If the cells were used, how is it still projecting maximum “ideal” range? The 85 is rated at 265 (new). I was also told they do not make any “new” 85s. They just take an old shell and fill it up with new cells. The pack I...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Didn’t win the lottery but for some reason I was expecting a 85 350v from the conversations. Received a 85 400v. Currently 261 “ideal” miles at 95% charge. Prior HV battery was at 229 at 100%. Not bad at all!!!!! Still overall happy but told the manager I was displeased at the poor communication...

    I’m pretty sure the diagnostics get removed when issues can be found so I’ll be sure to mention. Not sure why they have firmware upgrade on their as well lol. Thanks for the tip.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Interesting. My bill does not have the bolts however has a bunch of other charges. update SC just said I will be receiving an 85 with the new tech (no supercharge throttling) however it is not a 90 being limited to 85. Thus I’m guessing it’s a 85 400v that is not capped??? So it looks like I...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    This is the new invoice updated. Now I officially have no idea what’s going on in terms of what battery I’m getting. I’ve read online this is just a place holder battery part for the invoice (10888015-01-F); last time I this battery was mentioned was Dec 2019 on this forum. Will update when...

    11.6kw Solar Roof, but only one Inverter?

    I have not seen my inverter go higher than 7.7, however I am happy with the 1.5 ratio. I generated 16.2 MWH in 2022!!!! 68kw/day is the highest peak generation in June/July! I also had lengthy discussions with my neighbor whom is a NASA electrical engineer that works with solar. 1.5 is good...

    New Owner - 2018 Mid Range M3

    I have had all my control arms replaced on mine (covered under warranty). The 2018s are notorious for this issue.

    Locked out after low coolant alert shut car down

    These are the same symptoms I was experiencing before my HV died. Car is sucking the juice from the 12v instead of the HV. I could only start the car (to put into tow mode) if I attached my charger to the port.

    Locked out after low coolant alert shut car down

    Car could catch on fire with low coolant so its not going to power on. Also your HV might be dead now.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Sigh, ETA changed from March 10th to April 1st. Battery taking some time to arrive to the service center. However they confirmed again its the 90kwh with 14 modules.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Yup which is why I didn’t think the charge code was correct. That pack is a dinosaur. Think they just entered something random. I called and they are actually giving me a 90 14 cell pack. I want to give a big thanks for everyone in this thread. Saved me $4k by simply selecting the cheaper...
