Is it possible Tesla just reused the shell as some have suggested - 85 guts in a 70 housing? I am not sure what would have caused them to do this, but is it possible?

Thanks for the follow up. I haven't done anything more here. It appears I got a weak 85kW battery. I don't understand why I had to buy new rails to get the same size battery to fit my car. It should have been a drop in. Also, how many people missed 70kW label on the reman battery thru...

They have not offered to replace the sticker nor have I requested it. I am still trying processing everything that has happened.

Thanks for sharing your viewpoint. Something obviously happens to these batteries right before complete failure that causes the range to drop. I would argue the benchmark should be months and not days prior to complete failure. Yes, I did. Perhaps the only plus that comes with using the app...

I visited to the local service center, and they told me the sticker on the battery was wrong. I am not able to accept Tesla’s word at face value. Reviewing the facts: Sticker on the battery says 70 kWh. Replacement battery is a different physical size (Was charged extra $ for new ski rails...

I am embarrassed to admit that I didn't think of this method. I will make the road trip today.

How does someone reach out to Tesla? The only way I know is thru the app. I schedule a service appointment and explain the wrong battery was installed. The app runs a diagnostic, says the battery is fine that range varies depending on many factors and cancels my appointment. It then ask if this...

Appreciate everyone's help. Oddly, I approved this invoice on Friday. Tesla, said it would take 2 weeks to get the battery and repair the car. I had the car towed to the SC on Sunday. On Monday (the next day) they said the car was ready and I owed more money.

I agree. It just doesn’t add up. Here’s the label

The battery label says 70 kWh and part number agrees. 1088999-00-B. Decoding the serial number says made in 2015. T15E0085861R1

My battery replacement experience has been a nightmare. My 2014 MS P85 completely shut down. I got several BMS warning postmortem. Had the car serviced and the diagnosis was water in the HV batter fuse cover. Paid $2,149 to have HV battery removed from the car, test run to assess the heath of...
