I don't think there's any practical way to upgrade to the Tesla li ion battery. There are wiring changes that were pointed out in the video for one, but I do remember reading a while back that there are other components that had to be changed to work with the higher voltage as well.

I got a text message when my VIN was assigned and I just texted back to ask about the chip. I don't have an SA because I just ordered online, but if you have one, I believe you can just message them as well.

They made some changes to help with the issue. I personally didn't have issues with the battery going bad on my 3, so I think the problem is probably overblown but it will for sure go bad at some point where the li-ion may never need to be replaced during your ownership. Having said that...

I ordered a White on White MYLR7 no tow, no FSD on 6/29 with gemini wheels and then switched to Inductions on 7/6. I am in the Atlanta area. EDD started off as "September", and have been steadily pushed back. I think I had completed my profile but at one point the financing had expired. I left...

One more update on my new battery. I got a chance to run the battery down to about 10% and do a supercharging session at a v3 supercharger. I hit a peak of 145 and a pretty long sustained time above 130. Really seems like I got a newer pack than what I had, which makes sense since my S is an...

I just got my car back today and the new battery is a 1102980-01-A which is a 90kwh 400VDC like I had before. Good news for me is that the estimated full charge miles is now 279, so I seem to have lucked out. They did charge it up for me, so I won't be able to test the supercharging speeds for...

Does seem like they have a bit of an out with the "other factors" language. I definitely plan to check on the capacity and charging rate as I mentioned and will bring it up with them if either are lacking. Either way, I'll post an update here.

I bought the car with about 53k miles on it. I have never charged it to 100% but the estimated indicated full range was 265 when I first got it and 260 right before it failed at 73k. Once I got the "Maximum battery charge level reduced" message, the max range indicated showed 175, but of...

Wanted to add my own battery failure as a data point as I'm not seeing examples of my particular battery pack failing. I have a 16 facelift S 90D with the 1088790-00-A pack and about 73k miles. On Monday I got in the car to go home from the office and got the "Maximum battery charge level...
