    RDU/LDU coolant bypass innovation

    You could ask Tesla to check out and unless there are any alerts, you'll be charged a disagnostics fee. Even, then there's no guarantees you'll have any out of warranty issue. It's a crap shoot.

    Very Unhappy - Battery Died P85

    2012 P85 here. I got my 029 alert 3 days after purchasing the car from original owner in Oct 2022 for $27k USD. I ordered reman from Tesla for $13.5k+$390 labor + tax=approx $15k. 3 weeks later NEW 90 kWh replacement pack arrived. Tesla honored $15k quote. So saved about $5k. 90kwh corked to...

    Very Unhappy - Battery Died P85

    Your 029/018 alert solution will likely depend on what you want to do with your car and your personal finances. My advice, and I'm just one person, is based on personally talking with hundreds of folks and my own experience. I don't profess to be the expert - (1) If you love the car and want to...

    Very Unhappy - Battery Died P85

    $10k USD - That seems to be the current market rate for an 85 kWh used/reman/salvage replacement pack that gives the owner a rated range of around 240 miles. Just the pack. Any applicable labor, taxes, and warranty (explained below) are extra. $10k includes Tesla, 3rd party professionals and...

    2024; Tesla's Tipping Point?

    Considering worldwide BEV demand softening and lower than expected 2024 Q1 Tesla deliveries (despite many demand levers). Further, today's announcement of 10% reduction in Tesla workforce. And today's dual departure of two high level executives (8 year Rohan Patel and 16 year Drew Baglino)...

    X90D battery being replaced with 75kwh battery under warranty!?

    As far as the car having a 75 replaced under warranty by Tesla for a 90 car, that is odd. Could be only thing Tesla had available at the time. Could be mistake by Tesla (I'm aware of 2-3 pack replacement size mistakes by Tesla). Do both dashes display 75 or 90? What does pack label say? Does...

    LDU failure

    I recently proactively replaced my LDU in my 2012 P85. Proactively replacing RDU/LDU If you got the $5200 quote then that's for a reman. I paid the extra $800 and got a new one. Comparing to a gas car, the way I looked at it I got a 2023 new motor and transmission for $6k. That's a bargain...

    Car is dead after unplugging at supercharger

    For my 2012 P85. Tesla would not install a 100, only the 90 (corked to 85) that I have. I asked for a 100 but was only offered my current 90/85. However, a 3rd party (like what 057Tech did) might install a 100. There would be no reason to cork to less than 100 unless owner wanted to. Here's...

    Car is dead after unplugging at supercharger

    Then why did you take it to Tesla in the first place? Instead of first seeking 3rd party options? Either way Micah will likely answer the phone at EV Republics and James will certainly be your main contact at Ponderosa.

    Car is dead after unplugging at supercharger

    I've got air suspension on my 2012 P85 and Tesla needed to make some suspension modes with the 85/90 kWh replacement pack. Probably around $100.00.

    Car is dead after unplugging at supercharger

    I paid Tesla for a new (not reman) replacement pack in Nov 2022 for my 2012 P85. The replacement pack is a 90 kWh corked to 85. Uncorking to 90 would cost $750 extra. I elected to stay at 85. My max supercharging rate is 125ish kW. 90% rated range was 244 miles upon replacement and still the...

    Is buying a 2013 Tesla S Performance with 225,000 miles worth buying at $11,000 and the possible issues?

    As far as degradation, absent any outliers, all Tesla's have shown probably less than 25% degradation. Degradation should not be a concern. All that matters to nothing if the HV pack fails due to non degradation (like mine did on my 2012 P85). Non degradation failure requiring pack...

    Tesla wanted me to replace my Battery, turns out it was the dc-dc- convertor

    Thanks for the information. What alert(s) did you get? How much did your own garage charge you to dismantle and test the pack? Did Tesla replace the DC-DC converter?

    13% Degradation for 2017 75D at 84,000 miles

    Make sure your display is set to rated miles. So, say on a 2012 P85 that was originally rated at 265 miles at 100% State of Charge now has 225 rated miles, then you have a 15% degradation. (40/265=15%) or (225/265=85%)

    Replaced HV Battery has EXACTY the same range as the failed one?

    Thanks for the pics. Your original pack was March 2019 (T19C) and the replacement pack was remanufactuctured once (R1). The replacement pack's original production date was December 2018. Actual reman date could be anywhere from Dec 18 to before they installed it in your car.
