I contacted Electrified Garage as you suggested - greeted like the old Tesla - seems they are former SC employees who left in frustration as service levels deteriorated. Unfortunately, they are a long ride for me up in NH - and the vast majority of the quote was for the remanufactured HV -...

Thanks for your comment and empathy with my situation. From what i see, it's likely you have the same issue. I'm certainly not an expert, but was also told water was getting into the HV and they gave me a loaner and it took about 4-5 months to get my battery back. I recall that it was the...

That is precisely why i think the previous corrosion is an issue and why i think this is a potentially systemic problem. That is the message i took away as well.

The HV itself is corroded - for the 2nd time - see above

This is from the SC: The battery was originally remanufactured as part of a bulletin where it was inspected for corrosion, and if the corrosion on the enclosure was beyond a certain size, remanufacture would be required. The corrosion was found to be excessive so the battery was sent out to...

2nd catastrophic HV failure on my 2012 S due to corrosion. 1st failure was 2016 – Tesla “remanufactured” the existing HV rather than replacing. 2nd failure was in April, with car out of warranty – again due to corrosion. Tech said it is likely to repeat. Tesla has turned hostile after many years...

Best post since your Broder/Vauldermort comparison in '13

You don't seem to know much about investments - i have enough left over from my Tesla shares purchased at $35 to buy several Roadsters - very happy to plow some of that back into one of the greatest companies in the world.

Deja vu all over again 2010 - another thrilling 2+ years of anticipation

It took me 1.9 seconds to reserve - haven't been this excited since i reserved my 85 in 2010 - have to build new garage now, but have the time - wow!

Thanks Ed - I appreciate the time you took to respond and knowing i'm not alone on this issue. Jack

VIN 1525 85 40K 90% is 226 after 3 years (12/12/12).

Again, I appreciate your reply Ed - very helpful. One more question - how did your battery perform after reconditioning? Also, what caused the charging problem - was it similar to my case - a breach in the canopy?? (OK, that was two questions)

Thanks to everyone for your responses. FlasherZ, not sure about contactors being replaced, but suppose that is possible cause. What else would cause the seal to break? Good to know about the 237/238 - so after 3 years and 40K miles, about 5% depletion. Not too bad, but wish they'd...

I was charging in Dedham and received warnings and charging stopped. I called roadside, and they indicated problems with the charging system and that the car would not charge - top priority problem. They Ubered me home. After a couple of days of analysis, service told me the canopy on...
