    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Yes the battery matches. However, it does not match the original estimate I accepted.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Apparently there is something f’d up going on: They added another $200 in labor fees (Discharge HV battery). I never received a copy of the new invoice when I paid and I never physically signed any of the invoices in person. This totals 4 estimates I was given. The only invoices I accepted were...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    well in that case they totally f’d me because that makes sense now with the rated miles. I put the whole charge my on credit card so I’ll let you guys know if I’m locked out of the car haha 😂.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    That’s exactly what I thought until I saw the range exactly at 265ish. If the cells were used, how is it still projecting maximum “ideal” range? The 85 is rated at 265 (new). I was also told they do not make any “new” 85s. They just take an old shell and fill it up with new cells. The pack I...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Didn’t win the lottery but for some reason I was expecting a 85 350v from the conversations. Received a 85 400v. Currently 261 “ideal” miles at 95% charge. Prior HV battery was at 229 at 100%. Not bad at all!!!!! Still overall happy but told the manager I was displeased at the poor communication...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    I’m pretty sure the diagnostics get removed when issues can be found so I’ll be sure to mention. Not sure why they have firmware upgrade on their as well lol. Thanks for the tip.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Interesting. My bill does not have the bolts however has a bunch of other charges. update SC just said I will be receiving an 85 with the new tech (no supercharge throttling) however it is not a 90 being limited to 85. Thus I’m guessing it’s a 85 400v that is not capped??? So it looks like I...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    This is the new invoice updated. Now I officially have no idea what’s going on in terms of what battery I’m getting. I’ve read online this is just a place holder battery part for the invoice (10888015-01-F); last time I this battery was mentioned was Dec 2019 on this forum. Will update when...

    11.6kw Solar Roof, but only one Inverter?

    I have not seen my inverter go higher than 7.7, however I am happy with the 1.5 ratio. I generated 16.2 MWH in 2022!!!! 68kw/day is the highest peak generation in June/July! I also had lengthy discussions with my neighbor whom is a NASA electrical engineer that works with solar. 1.5 is good...

    New Owner - 2018 Mid Range M3

    I have had all my control arms replaced on mine (covered under warranty). The 2018s are notorious for this issue.

    Locked out after low coolant alert shut car down

    These are the same symptoms I was experiencing before my HV died. Car is sucking the juice from the 12v instead of the HV. I could only start the car (to put into tow mode) if I attached my charger to the port.

    Locked out after low coolant alert shut car down

    Car could catch on fire with low coolant so its not going to power on. Also your HV might be dead now.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Sigh, ETA changed from March 10th to April 1st. Battery taking some time to arrive to the service center. However they confirmed again its the 90kwh with 14 modules.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Yup which is why I didn’t think the charge code was correct. That pack is a dinosaur. Think they just entered something random. I called and they are actually giving me a 90 14 cell pack. I want to give a big thanks for everyone in this thread. Saved me $4k by simply selecting the cheaper...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Just got off the phone with SC. They said its gonna be a new limited 90 kWh after asking them a few direct questions. They do not even carry that particular refurb battery in stock anymore.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I would be amazed they are still using that part from 4 years ago. Or they simply just plugged in a random 85 code. They assured me that either battery was a significant upgrade over my existing one and difference is just 5kwh. Rolling the dice!!!
  18. E

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    They said there was no difference in the supercharge speeds between the 85 and the 90. Both are upgrades compared to what I currently have.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    I’m going to raise hell if the 85 performs similar to my old 85. They assured me they are “upgraded” 85s with new technology. The range should be back to what it was if bought new with the increased super charger speeds. @kirkusss I’m assuming if this was under warranty they would give me...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Remanufactured per spec . On the phone they said it’s pretty much identical to the 90 in terms of super charge speeds and will act similarly to a new battery. So I think they will give me a 90 and lock it to 85 as they did to yours. I believe the 90 was $17.8k out the door. I didn’t think the...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Update, so the tech said it’s either the 90kwh battery with 14 cells or the 85kwh. @kirkusss so that confirms the lack of production of the 90kwh, I choose the 85kwh option because he said it’s still upgraded with faster super charger speeds. Cross fingers and hope for the 90kwh and I can just...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    I believe they said I will be getting a new pack and not a refurb 90 pack since I am out of warranty. I will create a new thread once all the estimates come in.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    2014 85s with AP1. One of the first 100 to have AP so I’m hoping to keep it foreverrrrr. See previous post for more information. Another question @MP3Mike is that does the 16 cell and the 14 cell offer similar supercharging speeds??? @NV Ray I will ask them for a “cheapest” option and see if...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    SC called and offered me a 90kwh battery 16 cell or 90kwh 14 cell. The 14 cell is said to be $2.5k more but I haven’t received the total costs yet. They did not offer a remanufactured 85 (or a loaner booooo). Can someone enlighten me what the main difference is?

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    2014 85 AP1 with 180k miles. My baby. HV battery RIP today. Was about to go to my doctors and boom, Tesla app said car has 0 miles. Went to car in garage and it told me to schedule a service (no start) and also the 12v needs to be replaced. Well I had a tow and it turned out to be the HV per SC...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    Anyone has issues with their windows rolling down (my passenger window) all the way down for no reason after the new update? Especially after parking the car and walking away? Has happened 3 times to me since the 2022.8.10.5 update.

    2 Months Since Net Metering was Rejected

    Anyone else having issues with the Permit Department with Tesla? I paid my first downpayment back in September and they finally submitted my net metering in early October. The Net Metering was rejected due to no electrical permit was attached. They said my county (Brevard) that the building...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    I decided to give up on negotiating. When I signed the price increase "new contract" total price was I think $56k and $48k after rebate. Overall price when down due to oversizing and more of a rebate. $51.8k using old pricing = 11.69kw Roof (2850 sq ft total roof) + Powerwall 2/7.6 inverter...

    FPL PTO "System Size Must Be Reduced"

    I have not yet paid a down payment due to the damage that was caused to my house during the install. I am not going to pay the down payment until someone Tesla responds to what is happening. I was under the impression that I was able to get net metering, they should have made sure my...

    FPL PTO "System Size Must Be Reduced"

    The house we installed the solar roof we bought earlier this year, we do not have 1 year of tracking. The bill I uploaded was for a summer month. Gas Dryer + Gas Heater, so I was banking on the cooler months to rack up credits and leave my HVAC on 24/7 during the summer.

    FPL PTO "System Size Must Be Reduced"

    Had the Solar Roof Installed which ended up oversized 50%. PTO Net Metering draft says: "The system production is larger than your annual energy usage. The system size must be reduced prior to FPL approval." Took a look at the checklist on Tesla website and "approval to install" was never...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Sent this to them. Rejected again. So new contract is $800 less but also $100 less in tax incentive so meh. Finally cost ~51k for 11.69kw Array and 1x Powerwall+. This also included free fascia, soffit, and landscaping damage lol. Still refusing to pay them a nickel until they "clean up" and...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Took the battery down to 10% ish from 100%. Using actual miles driven, my 2018 M3 LR AWD gets around 345miles full charge per my driving habits. This involved going on the highway as well as local. Scared the crap outa me the other day when I switched to miles then charged to 100% (haven't...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    I complained for the old pricing and my overall cost just went down 1k because my array was oversized from 7.25 --> 11.7 kW and I was given a free powerwall+. Not much a difference. So yes you can get the old pricing but they will charge you for any "freebies" they gave you. I'm going to try...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Okay I totally freaked out because the M3 doesn't show the miles like my MS does. Switched back to %. Looks like I haven't really lost much range because I was still hitting "310" in January before I switched to %. M3: 100% --> 88% 46 miles driven. That gives me an effective range of 383 miles...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Haven't charged this car to 100% in 4 months. Was going to see what the difference is between chill and sport mode, but the estimator is all funky which doesn't help.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    2018 M3 LR AWD. Did I recalibrate wrong? Usually 90% is around 270 using %. Switched to miles and charged to full 100% today and its 280???? Full range I believe is 310.

    11.6kw Solar Roof, but only one Inverter?

    10-30% less efficient is true. Comparing to Solar Panels at a nearby site with the same array size but are panels instead, I generally lag 20% less efficient comparing non peak times. That array gets max of around 10kw/h so the 7.6 I have currently now is pretty close. I'm probably only clipping...

    11.6kw Solar Roof, but only one Inverter?

    @OY1836 yeah I agree you are at 1.25 dc/ac ratio so you're fine. If you add another inverter you will likely lose production from times outside of peak.

    11.6kw Solar Roof, but only one Inverter?

    Eric = Powerwall Manager. Sean = Roofing Manager. I'm guessing you have one 7.6 too? I just cap at 7.7 and plateau for 3 hours. Inverter also has to restart for about 10 min always a little past 1pm.
  48. E

    11.6kw Solar Roof, but only one Inverter?

    Lack of PTO means my production just stops as a certain point. So my data is not great. I am at peace of mind knowing my setup will generate the same as year 1 as year 10 and year 20 with the oversize even if there is clipping. Also I have yet to have a smooth curve because its never not cloudy...
