    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    ok thank you but why would Tesla service not let me see the battery pack in my Model S. Probably don't want to get sued for faulty battery pack design, leaking A/C hose onto battery pack which cause corrosion, right ?

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    You think u could have fixed my battery pack, cause the main issue was the fuse box corrosion, and Tesla wouldn't let me see the battery pack which I own. I was only having this problem on July 20 when it was hot outside and I was using the A/C ,maybe A/C hose was leaking on the battery pack. I...

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    Yes ,I remembered in 2019 I complained to Tesla that after the software update my range went down like 10-15 miles. Now also when I got the 75kw replacement refurbished battery I only get 215-6 max. range on it. I think Tesla limited my range because on a 75kw I should be getting like 220-230+...

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    Thanks GHammer for the reference. I saw 057 statement "Depending on the level of moisture measured, we'll also offer the option of a full rebuild of the battery pack. This would be a longer process and a bit more expensive, but we would then inspect and test all of the 100+ sense connections...

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    Why wouldn't Tesla service let me look at the battery pack when it was in the shop? I couldn't take a picture of it? Because Tesla knows its a problem and don't want to recall all 2013-4 model S.

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    Good news Tesla Service finally got me the 75 kw battery installed after 5.5 weeks! Tesla says it’s a refurbished 75KW battery with a 4yr/50k warranty , see photo. The reason why the 75kw battery is 11k as opposed to the 60kw battery is 13k because Tesla makes 75kw batteries all the time and...

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    I see they put in the 75kw battery but it only charged to 215 mile. Maybe thats what the original car full range on it till 215 mile when I got it in 2013. On 75kw I should get more but I guess the software limited it.

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    I told Tesla its a defect and they should have told me and replaced it last year or prior when it was under warranty. I am right , if they knew about these failures its very dangerous cause cars can stop driving right away with no warning and get in accident. What do you think?

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    Tesla quoted me 35k plus taxes for a 90kw battery because other items need replacements. So 75kw battery is good buy for $13k with taxes and labor cause 90kw is almost like triple the price at 35k plus taxes!

    I approved the estimate on the Tesla App for 75kw battery for $11,478 . Its cheaper because the 75kw is probably more available as apposed tp 60kw that have to rebuild and it takes more time and 75kw they just have to ship it as a finished product from a junked Tesla . Plus the 90kw is $19,183...
