Oh of course, I'm not denying that. But given the circumstances in which it took to discharge that much, in the grand scheme of things, and if the vehicle is going to be used regularly, it's a drop in the bucket :-) Should give plenty of life on his 2013.

Eventually a replacement WILL be necessary. But this can extend the life quite a bit, or if caught early enough, extend the life a VERY long time :-) I'm about 70,000 miles since doing the original fix. With it kept lubed, the grim and dirt aren't really collecting on it like it was, and I'm...

The car already threw that error due to the brick imbalance. It shouldn't be much of an issue though, since as glhs said, it took 6 years to discharge that much. much. It only threw the error because the imbalance was there when they powered everything back up. With the error reset, and the car...

Thats Awesome! Keep charging to 100%, it will keep balancing out. Lower SOC discharges to 100% help too. Since you have free supercharging, spend a couple hours at one getting to 100% (from any SOC). They balance better at a supercharger.

I'll make a note, I HAVE seen Tesla install alternate packs temporarily, when they've had one in stock, that way the owner can be on their way while the correct was ordered and waiting for delivery. Not as much these days as in the past, but still done. Some are even labeled as Loaner Packs.

Would be more intricate with larger packs that vehicles have these days. Back in the olden days, of conversions, and things like the old Zap Cars, we had a different method of balancing the lead acids. Instead of using resistors to bleed off the higher voltage batteries, the balancing hardware...

Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, given all the potential variables that affect range, thats within the margin of error.

I have both, older versions, but pretty much same opinion applies to newer ones. For same battery size, the MS will have much more range. Prefer the MS as a daily driver. More comfortable sedan feel. Can't stand the falcon doors. Massive PITA. Also turned off the self opening front doors the...

Interesting. Surprised they needed to disassemble the pack to see that. A tool like ScanMyTesla or TM-Spy would have sufficed. Glad it worked out for you though! Service centers can be hit or miss. Some are absolutely amazing! (Milwaukee, Wi, USA) Others, worse than the shadiest used car dealer...

There were design changes with the 85 pack mid-late 2015 that addressed a number of the original design issues. Not too many 85's with that design though, first gen 90's & 75's benefitted from the change. Yes, original 90 packs had same number of cells with more dense chemistry. What you are...

First Gen 90's had premature degradation. Mine falls under that. It dropped like a rock the first 2 years. It has now leveled off and held around 240 miles rated range for about 4-5 years now and holding solid. It's also charging faster now than when new and overall, appears rock solid...

90 battery will be exponentially more reliable at this point than the 85. Faster charging as well. I'll post some videos later. Generac makes a generator that can directly charge the car, without needing any jumper or hack plugs. Similar teardrop to Airborne's Locally though, I use my Model...

I've taken my camper all over the country with my Model S and unlimited supercharging. Caught myself the first time going cross country with it doing (Redacted Speed due to self incrimination) MPH through south dakota. Tows so well I forgot the trailer was back there. Range will suck. Would...

www.Recell-EV.com Go aftermarket referb for a fraction of the price.

No permanent fix. Still happens on even the new cars.

As Ray has said, Join the group! We have all the third party repair pros. If you don't wish to repair, how much are you asking for the car? I may be interested myself.

For #3, it would depend when the car was originally sold, and only for the original owner. I don't have the dates, however, the TOS/Fair Use Agreement did not prohibit pretty much any type of usage up to a certain point in 2016. After that point, the TOS/FUA would then apply to vehicles sold...

As others have stated, way too far out, and too much leverage. That will greatly increase the tongue weight.

No.

Thanks Ray. me and glhs I believe have met. I think at one of my EV Parties I host yearly. Recell is currently best option for out of warranty pack replacement, just replacing straight up. Mr. Erickson in Iowa would be ideal for you to send both you car and the battery to have it swapped and...

Sounds like breach of warranty to me. Not a lawyer, maybe one can chime in? However, the remedy would be either timely repair, or they would be financially responsible for loss of enjoyment of the warranted product. Could always file with your state for non-compliance.

They already did the camera refresh, nothing new coming for a while.

I had this EXACT issue after going through a carwash with my 2016 MS. Only, upon exiting the carwash, the car "went into neutral" and was free rolling. Rebooting screens etc... did nothing, powered doors did not work, nothing powered was functional. Headlights stuck on etc... I did not have my...

It's changed a few times over the years, Not sure what the current shutdown voltage is, however, I'm seeing approximately 2.5v as a hard limit under load. I'd guess when it cannot sustain 2.5v per cell under any load/circumstance, thats when it will shut down. Without doing it myself, which I...

The buffer is capacity that is not accessible to the driver. Your BMS's capacity calculation was just off. Once the car shuts down, that 4kWh buffer, is what is still left in the pack AFTER shutdown. This is to prevent the battery from being bricked if not immediately charged after shutdown. IF...

While I wouldn't recommend posting the contact info publicly, as then they will get inundated with every little complaint possible, what is the first name of your areas regional? I'm curious if it's the same as the Midwest (if the one I dealt with is even still the Regional here). Midwest was...

Finally updated Saturday(was really holding off especially until after a road trip which we had to cancel due to 3 sick kids...), I see no operational differences on my AP1 after 1000 miles. Definitely will NOT be upgrading my FSD MX though for the time being. Either way, I'm not thinking they...

Sure were different times back then. I actually miss the original Model S cup holders. Your 2012 should have them. They have the little fingers that grab and hold you cup still to keep it from wobbling or bouncing. Might pull them out my 2012 and put them in my 2016. Haven't decided yet...

My 2013 Model S, got a replacement battery covered by warranty when the contactors failed. This was a while ago, 2014 or 2015 I believe.

Can you post a redacted copy of the invoice? The quote I got was a bit nuts at the time. Hopefully that price has come down some.

This will be Amazing for DIY 85, 90 & 100 kWh battery repair!

At one point I had 3 car seats in our MX. Zero issues what so ever.

Yes, my 2016 with MCU2

As ucmndd said, they sure did. Lots of them. ALL vehicles sold Jan 15th, 2017 and older had SC01

I don't see this being a Tesla Issue. The stop appears to be a fairly small one. Ive never had issues with the same. Next, there seems to be a pothole that you pulled in to in the lot. That would be up to the lot owner to repair/maintain. The pothole is visible. You should have seen it, or at...

Mine before doing it for the video was so bad, autopilot wouldn't even work, as it thought I was taking over the steering wheel, as well as my wife could no longer turn the wheel. Did it like shown in the video, sprayed it once more since, and still smooth as butter. That was 3 years ago.

Thats how you do it. Make the screen selection, pull firemans loop, start reset, wait for it to complete, plug back in and done. Total process >4 minutes

Trips only displays power used while the vehicle is pretty much, in motion. Power used while "idle", such as pre-conditioning, systems vampire losses, sentry mode, etc... are not calculated in.

Please PM me your information, VIN, Name & Phone Number if you don't mind.

One other option is to request the regional managers information. They MUST provide it. See if that gets you anywhere. Im reaching out to the Milwaukee Service manager to see if she can shine some light on the upgrades. Will let you know if/when I hear back.

Yes, that is BS. Tech doesn't know what he's dealing with.

#OldTimer Go in your Tesla App, near the bottom it will have a 'upgrades" menu. Are there any Upgrades available in there? The car already has the HARDWARE for supercharging. All Teslas (minus original roadsters) have the HARDWARE. 85's came with it activated. "40's" were not allowed to be...

Yes, cheap sub-200, but is it really when they are replacing bad parts with bad parts? It's just going to happen again, and again, and again until they start putting enough grease in these parts.

If you have air suspension, raise it to max. You can still do it if you have coil, though it will be a little more difficult. No, not motor oil. Specific grease. Watch video, links to what grease to purchase in description box of video.

Worst case, the greasing doesn't help and you replace the ball joint. It was more expensive when I made the video, costs have come down. Best case, You spend $20-30 on materials, and you have the tools, and enough grease, to grease around 30-40 Tesla's control arms. Either way, the squeak...

Links to the grease and products needed in video description. Tesla will not grease the joint. If they replace it, it will just happen again. Since greasing, no issues in 60,000+ miles. If you do it soon enough after the squeaking starts, the joint should be just fine. Unless you get an...
