    2013 Model S 85 High Voltage Battery Failure | Replacement recommendations?

    Nice :) what's your 100% SOC rated range now?

    2013 Model S 85 High Voltage Battery Failure | Replacement recommendations?

    It was pretty quick actually, I messaged and asked, they said they'll do it once the invoice is fully paid. After payment, they did it at the Service Center within a couple of hours. Sorry for the late reply, seems I am not getting notifications and hadn't been on here in over a week.

    Another 1st Generation(2013 MS 85) HV Battery Failure

    That's an interesting observation. Some of the cell aging is time-related, regardless of use, but Tesla told me when I got my car as CPO in early 2016 that they expected 12-15 years life on those packs, so that also makes another failure mechanism seem more likely than cell degradation...

    2013 Model S 85 High Voltage Battery Failure | Replacement recommendations?

    In the end, I had to pay an additional $6439 to get the new 90 instead of the reman 85 pack. Given that the new pack should last much longer and I have (at least in the beginning) 30 miles more range and much faster supercharging (hopefully, have yet to verify), that seems worth it to me.

    2013 Model S 85 High Voltage Battery Failure | Replacement recommendations?

    They didn't. At first it said 270 miles rated range at 100% SOC, but after they upgraded the configuration to reflect the 90 kWh pack it is now 295 miles @100%.

    2013 Model S 85 High Voltage Battery Failure | Replacement recommendations?

    I hope so, too. If they do, I'll contact them for sure, and I think after all my communication with them in the last 2 months, they'll expect it ;) I keep monitoring actual usable pack capacity by tracking and comparing charged and discharged kWh, divided by the SOC-difference, both for super-...

    2013 Model S 85 High Voltage Battery Failure | Replacement recommendations?

    $17k for the battery (1014116-00-C) alone as quoted end of September, as compared to now $13.5k for another REMAN (1088815-01-B, got that quoted by accident before warranty was applied). Back in May, the same REMAN was $11.5k, so apparently prices have increased, at least for the REMAN packs. In...

    2013 Model S 85 High Voltage Battery Failure | Replacement recommendations?

    I tried arguing more and then some more. Had several calls with the SC manager, she seemed relatively new and was still learning details herself. She got in contact with the battery team and first came back with word that even the "new" 90 pack (1014116-00-C) may not have all new cells...after...

    2013 Model S 85 High Voltage Battery Failure | Replacement recommendations?

    Thank you Lasttoy and gaswalla, That is valuable information for me. Got a call yesterday and the Bend SC manager said I could choose between a free warranty replacement of the reman or pay $19k for the new 90 kWh pack. I assumed of course that Tesla would credit me the almost $12k I spent only...

    2013 Model S 85 High Voltage Battery Failure | Replacement recommendations?

    From my own experience from May this year until today, I don't recommend a reman pack from Tesla. While coming with a 4 year/50k mile parts warranty, the quality seems rather hit or miss, as my replacement pack installed in July 2022 already crapped out last week after little over 2 months and...

    2012 P85 HV battery replacement options -- need perspective.

    Airsailor, Could you share the quotes with me that you got from the White Plains SC? I needed a replacement HV pack for my 2012 MS P85 with 170k miles in May and was told the only option was a remanufactured 85 pack, asked for a new one but was told that option wasn't available (Bend, Oregon...
