From my experience (granted only one car) failure of the BMS to accurately calculate bottom range is giving you an indication of impending battery failure. My own car died at 3% range left. Figure, okay, no problem, I'll never let it get below 3%. A few months later died at 6%. So I...

I believe you can either unlock from the console screen or press and hold the trunk button on the fob until unlocks as well.

I had my MMC go bad and was told it was too corrupted to recover my settings. The new MMC was installed as a new user with no settings. I later noticed I no longer had unlock or trunk access from the mobile app. Only flash lights, honk horn, vent roof, and climate control. Opened up a ticket...

The app continued to show my chip was healthy right up until the day it died. So it doesn't seem that the health check was very good at predicting failure.

Looks like they added it. Shows up now.

Jason's post regarding coverage. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7318676/

I was on 2022.8.10.11. Never got this alert. Recently updated to 2022.8.10.12 and started getting the "rear passenger side window is not fully closed" alert.

I received the message as well and continued driving it for about a week on software version 2022.8.10.11. Received a software update to 2022.8.10.12. After the update completed the error message went away.

How about getting the paid battery warranty? https://warranty.057tech.com/?tmcs

20-80 seems to work very well for me. Charging daily to 80% vs 90% the degradation reduction is very noticeable. I actually don't need the entire 80% for my daily commute so have been changing to 70%. I get back home right at 20%.

Yes, correct. Charge was limited and sent the car in for repair. Had a warranty with 057 Tech and battery was replaced. Excellent service with Jason and he kept me updated during the entire process. The jump you see is the replacement.

For BMS_018 on my end the indication turned out to be severe degradation over the course of a year.

Option #2 cannot be done. Even Tesla attempted their hand at repairing / replacing modules and end result is the replaced module grows more and more out of range of the entire pack no matter how well it's matched when replaced. That would be the second pack in the post below...

Some info from our good buddy Bjørn.

I'm guessing on ownership transfers the car is "wiped" and reset back to default triggering a deep diagnostic. Shortly after and with the new owner you get error message about the newly detected deficiency in the battery. Probably a good idea to do a wipe and reset of the car a few months...

Eastvale Supercharger is like this. It makes it a bit confusing when you can plug in from both sides.

I believe the warranty doesn't reset either way. If it's the original 8 year warranty the replacement pack is warrantied until the original warranty runs out. If you paid out of pocket for a new battery the 4 year warranty timer doesn't reset. You get a total of 4 years on the battery...

Looks like the empty concrete pad has a transformer now but chargers not powered on yet.

First battery replacement was at 127k miles or so. Second one was 4 months ago at 347k miles. Drive unit recently replaced by Tesla as it started leaking fluid so it didn't completely fail. I purchased it used at 127k miles with replacement battery recently installed. I did hear that early...

No, battery #3.

2013 Model S 85 here at 357k miles. Air suspension still working like a champ.

I received a BMS alert as well and was limited to 30 miles max range. I connected it to a 120 outlet and left it plugged in over several days. Let it trickle charge. It slowly rebalanced. After 24 hours max charge was 40 miles. Another day was up to 50. It would charge and then stop...

Drive units have gone down in price at least for my Model S 85. Tesla replaced my rear drive unit for just under $5000 for a new unit 2 months ago.

My 2013 S85 is also at max 217 miles at 100% but then again my reman battery pack has 191,000 miles on it.

Forgot to include pics of the finished SC.

Little by little.

More digging.

Not sure how much weight this carries but in this video Pete Gruber “leaks” that Tesla is working on a solution regarding the high cost of battery replacement. Forward to 4:30.

Saw this today. Tesla Batteries Defective, System Overstates Capacity, Class Action Lawsuit Claims | Top Class Actions Docket for Robert Fish v. Tesla, Inc., 8:21-cv-00060 - CourtListener.com

Just saw this article. Tesla reportedly sold batteries it knew could catch fire

Turns out it's the hydraulic pump for the ABS system. $1945 plus tax to repair.

My 2013 S 85 recently started having a loud non-stop buzzing sound coming from the front of the car. Started Friday and still going on as of today (3 days). Along with the noise I have alerts that regen, ABS, stability control, traction control, and cruise control are unavailable. I tried...

I was able to charge there on 2/28 at 11:27pm per my post that night. So it was active that night but it didn't appear on the Tesla Navigation until next day.

Lights are on and was able to charge! Am I the first??? =) I got 63kw at 38% SOC (119 miles range).

I counted 21! =)

I came to test out the charging at night and it's open with no parking attendant. My experience with downtown Riverside parking structures seems to be that unless there is an event going on most of the parking structures are free after hours.

S85 at 35% charge. On the stall furthest from the transformer I got 70kw last night.

From 1/3.

Pics from 12/24. Doesn't look like much progress.
