    Is NEMA 14-50 AND Tesla Wall Connector a good idea?

    220 dryer plug 30 amp and usually charge at 26 A. If I charge overnight I’m fully charged the next morning. Only cost was the extension cord. I love it!

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    I was told by Tesla I’d have to replace my battery pack. $22,000 estimate. Instead I sent the car to EV-Recell to find out my battery pack was perfectly fine and the bus and connections is where the issue was located and thru them I saved a lot of money!

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    I did ask a lot of Tesla owners, and read a lot too. I made the best decision thinking that I was buying a quality product! Besides, if I knew it built a crappy brought it I would definitely help people with viable options, if nothing else, so that I have a reputation that is good for my future...

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    My car was actually built late 2013 and My insurance company shows it as a 2014. My research showed the cars to be really solid and expected to last. It’s only since I found the problem, that I found there are others experiencing the same issues! And besides, Tesla should’ve never put these on...

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    I feel the opposite and I bought this Tesla because of the unlimited charging and I could not afford to commute to work anymore. So I spent 35,000 on an eight year old car after owning a Lexus that was 15 years old with 189,000 miles. I only owned the car for two months, only to discover that it...

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    I disagree! Because they were first they should be over built and engineered, look at Lexus CS 400 in 1992. An amazing car that was very well built and put Lexus on top of the compilation! Without this kind of reputation a company can loose value in a heartbeat. It becomes a Chevy Vega! Because...

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    Batteries were 100% but Tesla won’t repair circuitry. Only option is total replacement which is at an absurd cost!

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    Because a regular car wouldn’t come close to the reload costs that’s why they should stand behind there products and not make it unaffordable for the average

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    Additionally, they could had repaired it at a fraction of the costs. Having such a car issue is pertinent to their reputation. Either it’s a good solid car or a lemon! The car is in excellent condition and never abused! Absurd to expect such a car to fail with such an expense without some sort...

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    Because a regular car wouldn’t come close to the reload costs that's why they should stand behind there products and not make it unaffordable for the average person. Repairs on an 8 year old car should not require the funds of a new hybrid! Besides, the fact Tesla is pretty much the only...

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    I would just like to add that the team at Recell-EV Was a team effort by a great group they work diligently to do a good job at the best possible price. Additionally, they emphasize that they want to stand behind their product because there have a reputation they want to uphold in the EV community

    Tesla Service says my Tesla Model S 2013 60 kw Main battery needs to be replaced

    1 year but I could not afford Tesla. I would’ve liked a better warranty. Especially for the expense. However, it was the only option I could afford to ever be able to drive my car again. Plus, the only option at Tesla was to replace everything. My battery pack was fine, it was just between my...

    I have a 2013 model S 85. Tesla told me at 89,000 miles that I needed a new drive unit and battery pack. “The estimate: $28,530.13. After reading various responses and blogs in the Tesla community, I reached out to several places around the United States at the repairs. I reached out to...

    Recell: certified replacement battery packs for low-range/bricked Model S

    I just found this, I’m told I needed a new DU and battery pack at $28,530.13. I could not conceive how I’d be able to pay for that and why Tesla would not work a deal since the car has only 89,000 miles and is 11 months out of warranty. A lot of bad publicity from me at this point forward. Tesla...

    Broken model S

    I bought a used model S for $35,000. It only has 89,000 miles on it. It had 86,000 when I bought it 60 days ago. It’s been driving great, however I got a message that it may not restart enter tow it to Tesla. So memorial weekend I towed it to the local Tesla service center. After initially...
