    Rough probability of battery failure prior to warranty expiring?

    Failure can also - and might be most likely- to occur due to a defect in a BMS board, a loose sense wire or some other effect, so not an internal cell failure. As I learned from all the 057 posts these are the only failures that are fixable, otherwise the battery is not re-usable in a car...

    Metal roof reduces headspace

    Same, I also got the one with the glass roof because of the headspace. Without glass you need to be short to fit in the back.

    Just got my second REMAN pack for the year after waiting some 6 weeks. Sticker is now upside down? Lost the lottery for the second time, no 350V-C for me! This one has a bit less capacity (0.5kWh) than the last REMAN, it does charge to 4.2V and has quite a lot of DC charging (15000, last one had...

    When is the P90D at its quickest?

    For sure race at battery as full as possible. Also the typical petrol sportscar will be quite a bit faster at the higher speeds due to the back-EMF of the electric motor.

    Service says $22k for new battery on 2012 Model S

    If you have a single bad cell, maybe if you snip a cell in every module you could get away with it. Wouldn't try it though.

    Service says $22k for new battery on 2012 Model S

    One would think the company and thus all relevant employees at Tesla are focussed on the Model 3,Y and new S models + Cybertruck. The legacy S-es that we drive have just been a temporary product to get to the FSD 'capable' and more 'reliable' and overall better models. It thus seems to be in the...

    Service says $22k for new battery on 2012 Model S

    So my battery got replaced 2 months back, but it failed again 1 month ago and I am waiting on another one. Does you pack look really clean and new like mine did? https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/attachments/screenshot-2022-05-14-223043-png.804288/

    Where are the hex screws for MS2014 window glass tilt adjustment

    So from my memory, the rod actually has a sort of metal stop in one of the directions, you can see it in the third picture on the right. I couldnt get it to budge either. I actually bent the stop upwards to give me more play. But in the end, this screw was not the adjustment I needed, I ended up...

    Service says $22k for new battery on 2012 Model S

    No sticker on a replacement battery? I know they sometimes fall off in use... but in this case one could start to think as if they pulled the battery of another car and made up the information on the invoice. Very strange indeed, and unfortunate you did not get full charge speed. I would have to...

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    Honestly I almost never charged it to 100% and I never checked voltages when I did. It was a 1014114-00-E T14J0056955. Also I always ran the latest official software. The battery was removed a year ago to replace the HV connector due to sparking (noise), probably due to water intrustion. I...

    No I drove it without any issues, regen worked unlike the previous failure. But It would not take charge from a cable.

    I got BMS_u029 but I could not detect any voltages out of spec.

    So I had my battery replaced on April 15th. Unfortunately I got a REMAN 85 pack. It was delivered at 20% charge and charged up to 100% by Tesla Groningen The Netherlands. So no new 350V pack. My range went up substaintially and was again nominal for the fleet. BUT. Yesterday the REMAN pack...

    SeC Groningen gave me a call, I will get a loaner today and battery will be replaced in around 2 weeks. Pretty damn happy with that. I will report back which one, Sorry for contaminating this topic ;).

    So yeah, next day the values got further apart and the car just would not move anymore with these measured/estimated cell pack voltages. I had to get it towed to the SeC Groningen NL, Sadly I I have still not been able to contact them except through some automated text messages that say; thank...
