    HV Battery failure! 2014 S85 with 43,000 miles, single owner car

    Oh I agree on interior. The Model S has an interior on par with a 50 or 60k car at best. Thats why I'm glad they've been cutting the prices down to reasonable valuations. 120k+ for that interior was highway robbery. And don't get me started on 15k price to but you and your family's life in...

    HV Battery failure! 2014 S85 with 43,000 miles, single owner car

    Thanks for the clarification. Hence based on your synopsis I'm replacing my 2013 Model S with a 2018 or later. Prices keep dropping I may go brand new MSLR. Plaid would be fun but I'm not sure I see the value in the extra money for what amounts to a party trick(acceleration).

    HV Battery failure! 2014 S85 with 43,000 miles, single owner car

    057Tech knows a whole lot about Tesla batteries than I do. As a 3rd party expert in batteries and someone who is well known to call out Tesla for shenanigans, if he says the new batteries are solid, I believe him. Also, you can't compare an Avalon to a Model S. I'd even downgrade to a Model 3...

    HV Battery failure! 2014 S85 with 43,000 miles, single owner car

    Yeah 2017 should have the problems plagued by the 1st Gen Model S. Better battery, more sturdy, rust resistant battery connectors, and this maybe most important, the AC Condensation drain isn't directly over the battery. I would how many Gen 1 Tesla engineers got fired? 😂

    HV Battery failure! 2014 S85 with 43,000 miles, single owner car

    Having been there, I am 100% emphatic to your pain. The high cost of battery replacement combined with the horrible Tesla customer service made me very angry towards Tesla, swearing I would never buy one again. After finally getting the car repaired by Tesla, $16,500 later combined with other...

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

    My MCU was also out of warranty but with the recall I was able to get reimbursed for the MCU repair I paid for earlier. Was hoping the battery would be a similar situation. Worse case I'll enjoy the car for another year and sell to someone the peace of mind of a 3 year warranty.

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

    Received the shocking news and subsequent shocking bill from the SC that my 2013 S85 HV Battery needs to be replaced at just over 100k miles. I kept the car past warranty with confidence thinking that these batteries last 300-500k miles. Even Elon Musk was quoted saying the batteries should last...
