    Early Model S battery replacements

    I have a 2015 model s 70 that I bought used from Tesla back in 2021. I had about 68k miles on it before there was a BMS error in early 2022 where I had to get it replaced. From what I understand I now have a refurbished battery. To be frank I'm concerned about the longevity of it. I have no way...

    Experiences with HV battery replacement 2015 MS 70

    Just tried super charging from 25% right now. Taking 60kwh (210mi/hr). This is definitely more than before, I think mine had taken 40kwh (180ishmi/hr). But my memory could be failing. And I don't have any pictures of it before.

    P85DL HV Battery Replacement

    Similar situation. Warranty HV battery replacement still waiting a little over a month in. Projected finish is about another month. No loaners available :(

    Experiences with HV battery replacement 2015 MS 70

    I'll have to apologize in advance, but I will probably forget so feel free to DM me if you don't hear for a while. As of today, no update and car is "scheduled" to be done tomorrow. Pressing X to doubt right now. Honestly do feel for the service teams that I don't think they're intentionally...

    Experiences with HV battery replacement 2015 MS 70

    No they hadn't, as of today, I asked for an update, but they said they have no info on when the new battery is coming in yet (car has been in since 1/6/22). Just speculating, but it's likely a larger battery than a 70 since they don't make them anymore.

    Glad to hear you got your car back! Mines in a SoCal one rn as well. No loaners available though - just Uber credits.

    Experiences with HV battery replacement 2015 MS 70

    How do you even file a business resolution? Honestly at this point I just want to negotiate that they don't software limit the new battery since they don't make any more 70kwh packs. In my opinion it's better than having to pay out my car note/insurance/buy back.

    Sell 2014 Model S before 8 Year warranty expires?

    Quick question, how often do you run it to the 20% range? Just curious about your driving habits.

    Sell 2014 Model S before 8 Year warranty expires?

    Thanks for the explanation. I was more asking about the point once I do fall out of warranty, that I would like to take the data of cars that do get replaced under wk057's method where he replaces the entire pack vs those using Rich rebuilds module replacement. Likely there isn't a lot of...

    Sell 2014 Model S before 8 Year warranty expires?

    Yeah I heard about this case, but do we have any data on among cars that got a module replaced, had it fail again and the time period? Probably too few days points to make a determination, but if they continue to work for a reasonable amount of time, it'll still be an option.

    Shifting to neutral & opening doors manually when battery dead

    I did hear about more ICE cars having this issue now too, has it been just a thing since the shift from analog to electrification of internal items in cars nowadays?

    Shifting to neutral & opening doors manually when battery dead

    Don't know Thanks yeah, it was just a weird thing since there isn't a clear way if any, to shift to neutral in situations like this. Kind of concerning tbh.

    Shifting to neutral & opening doors manually when battery dead

    Thanks, that's actually reassuring to know it's manually openable! I hadn't charged to 100% often so I'm not sure true full mileage. I did 80% which displayed 174 (grossing up to full would be 217.5). Lmk if you need a lot of detail over the situation but abridged is below: Mid December -...

    HV Battery Failed After 2 Years.. Months at Service Station?

    Hope they end up buying back without needing to go through the lemon law process. I was considering the same, but honestly, I just want my few months of insurance repaid and for them not to software limit the battery they end up replacing since they don't make 70kwh anymore.

    Shifting to neutral & opening doors manually when battery dead

    My is just rear wheel 70kwh. Wait you're saying my 2015 can open doors without any power in the HV Mines a 2015 Rear wheel 70kwh. Wait you're saying the doors from the inside are mechanical? So it'd open if the 12v and HV are both dead?

    Shifting to neutral & opening doors manually when battery dead

    Hi! I am asking due to a recent experience that I had when my Tesla MS 2015 had told me to pull over due to low battery (50 miles left) and then suddenly shut off about 20 minutes later. I couldn't turn it back on nor could the tow truck person that came to help take the car. Fortunately he was...

    HV Battery Failed After 2 Years.. Months at Service Station?

    I'm also in a similar situation. Car is also sitting at no charge. Brought car into service center on 1/6/22 and estimated completion is 2/4/22. I asked a few days ago if any update on the battery order, but per parts department, no update as of yet. No loaner, just Uber credits for me.

    Experiences with HV battery replacement 2015 MS 70

    Maybe the area I'm in (southern California), is very impacted, as I had reached out to the service center just now about loaners from other locations but they had said those locations have to reserve it for whomever is getting serviced at the respective location. So for now it'll be Uber credits...

    Experiences with HV battery replacement 2015 MS 70

    I got the alert "BMS_u018 Maximum battery charge level reduced. OK to drive - Schedule service". The miles I had left at time of message was 38 miles. I think it was around 214 rated range before that (never really paid attention though because I charged to 90%). The only way I triggered for the...

    Experiences with HV battery replacement 2015 MS 70

    Yeah - same situation - right now I'm looking into lemon law rules just purely due to the time duration of how long it is in the shop. But the going concern of the battery health is always in the back of my mind to determine to sell or not too. :( Sucks that yours went through the same sitch.

    Sell 2014 Model S before 8 Year warranty expires?

    Congrats on the purchase! I would just suggest that when you do get a chance, occasionally drive it from 100% to the low 10-20%. This is of course when you are at the lower %'s to be nearby home. That was when the battery issue actually became prominent in my car at least. This issue for me...

    Experiences with HV battery replacement 2015 MS 70

    Thanks, I did try the insurance but no luck, if anything I can do a reassessment once I get back to lower my projected miles but that's about it since the issue wasn't related to a crash. I didn't think about calling other Tesla SC locations about if they have loaners. I'll give it a shot later...

    Experiences with HV battery replacement 2015 MS 70

    Anyone in the middle of HV battery replacement? I'm currently in one (covered under warranty), not sure if anyone's running a car with a replaced one and what your experience is. For those currently in service, what's your estimated wait? Mines about a month, but a gut feeling is that it's...

    Has anyone had their Tesla HV battery replaced? If so, why?

    Used 2015 MS 70 under warranty. Had it towed to SC in Jan 6th. Estimated completion date is 2/4/22. I had an issue with it at 50 miles one time, tesla SC did a reset which seemed to work at first, but I drove it down to 60 again to develop some confidence in the lower mile range but from there...

    Sell 2014 Model S before 8 Year warranty expires?

    Conflicted on this as well. My 2015 model S is in the service center for the last two weeks due to HV battery failure pending replacement for the last two weeks and just anxious about deciding whether or not to sell it after the repair. But I do love the car too...it's a hard choice to make.

    Gate way no response. Reset gateway. - Stemmed from stranding incident - Anyone experience this?

    I actually just let the car sit for a little to ~50 miles so I could maybe drive around the neighborhood and see if it happens. This time, it only sat for about 1 day and lost 20 miles (went from 60 to 40). I had driven it the night before to 60 miles, hence how it started there. Turned it on...

    damn - i may test it again in the drive way and have it go to low battery levels to see if it retriggers.

    Gate way no response. Reset gateway. - Stemmed from stranding incident - Anyone experience this?

    I recently experienced my 2015 Tesla Model S error saying to pull over with 50 miles left on the battery. A message popped up saying that there was low power. All said and done, when I retrieved my car a few days later from the Tesla service center, they said it was due to a gateway overload...
