    "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    I ended up waiting (various reasons, unintentionally) for 3 weeks after I trickle charged my swollen battery. Tesla tech was nice and also told me that my battery via the diagnostics looked fine; then I told him about the alert and swollen aspect. He agreed, it was time to change but this was...

    "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    Yes I do! Learned the trick here as well 😀. My particular battery tender does indeed recognize polarities, and adjusts thankfully. Plus, I have the Costco battery should that fail at home. I wish I had time to actually run it till it actually dies, but again, every car seems to be on it’s on...

    "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    Hello, I did the removal process as indicated/instructed by a Tesla technician, his instructions equaled the various YouTube videos. I pulled the actual battery because I wanted to inspect it thoroughly. Since I had the battery out, and since it already popped the warning, and since I have...

    "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    Hello all 😀 new member/first post: I thought I’d jump in here as my 2019 3 (LR) just popped the warning about the 12v at the 67,000 mark. Battery itself is swollen on each side, similar to the batteries talked about here. I bought a Costco 51R as I wait for a scheduled Tesla appointment...
