On my invoice in Dec 22 it was $165 for the battery and $42 for labor plus state tax. I found it hard to find a compatible battery outside of Tesla and the ones that would physically fit had the posts inverted so I would have had to add an extension cable. Not something I wanted to do.

Correct. Tesla will only replace the entire door handle assembly for about $300. If it's just the paddle gear that is broken they sell it $6 but you will have to replace it yourself.

If someone is looking for the website linked above it seems to have changed. Website is now: https://tesla-alerts-dictionary.corehacked.com

I have the iPhone 13 Pro so very similar besides the screen and battery size. No issues.

I had the same decision to make about 3 years ago and decided to just stay with the Goodyears. Knowing that I would only drive about 5K Miles per year and that any tire gets noisy as the rubber hardens with age, purchasing a tire that typically lasts only 25-30K miles was acceptable. I got the...

This is sad to see. I would have thought Tesla fixed this irritating issue on the refresh (2021+). My 2017 75D has "regularly scheduled" door panel problems. They eventually loosen up over time but never completely fall of since there are two bolts and about 8 plastic clips and 4 metal...

@SneepeZ That's interesting that you purchased a newer revision than the one in the Tesla parts catalog.

Base is Rev E. Up-level is F. Log into Tesla parts catalog with your Tesla account credentials. epc.tesla.com

If your handy than it's only $6 to purchase a replacement paddle gear on Gen3 door handles which is what typically breaks on them. Gen3 door handles were introduced Jun/Jul 2017.

Definitely a "Good Deal". It even says so, therefore it must be true. We all know the 21's always add at least 10K+ to the value.

A local dealer seems to think used is worth more than new. It's been for sale since April of last year! Dealer info blocked out as I wouldn't want anyone to jump ahead of me to purchase....lol.

@electricar I am an engineer by trade and can't think of anything but a charging profile specific to what type of battery is installed as to the reason why this menu item exists. Please enlighten me as to other reasons. Thanks.

I forgot to mention that shortly after I had the 12V battery replaced I noticed in the service menu that the 12V battery type no longer matched what was installed so I went ahead and changed it. Not sure if the technician even new about this setting or not. The previous battery had the red...

There seems to be a lot of different part numbers for the 12V battery depending on model year. Attached is mine from Dec 2022 for a 2017 Model S 75D. I couldn't find an equivalent battery that had the posts in the correct orientation so I ended up purchasing direct from Tesla and had them...

Rennstand. Not my car but a photo I found on the web.
