battery replacement

I'm always worried that the battery will die out of warranty on the 2017 Model S 100D and I am not thrilled by the idea of paying $26K to Tesla service for a battery replacement. And I'm the type to believe that I should be my own insurer and save money for repairs (not like there are any good...

Hello, I have a Tesla model s, base model, 2013 with 67k miles on It. The car started acting weird, I took it to Tesla for service to check the car. At first, they said that they ran some diagnostic test one the car and it appears that the 12V battery needs to be changed, I said okay as long as...

I am an early adopter of Tesla. I bought my Model S in Feb of 2015, laying out close to 90k for a car – which is something I would have never dreamed of doing previously. But I believed in the mission, I believed in the car – so I traded in my Kia Optima and subjected myself to this grand...

Has anyone had experience with multiple HV battery failures in the same vehicle? If so did tesla offer some sort of compensation or remedy? My 2019 model s Raven performance is great, when it works. I bought it from tesla preowned, it was in their leased fleet. I owned it for about 2 months...

I am currently facing an interesting problem that I thought might be worth sharing with the community. A few weeks ago, I bought a clean title Model 3 LRRWD with FSD and 143k miles for $23k. The main catch was a HV battery with significant imbalance (one brick was 3.50V with all others at...

I'm engaged with Tesla Service on the drastic range drop my 2018 Model 3 LR is experiencing. 3.5 years and 89k miles in, I'm down to barely 200 miles in summer for a full charge and as low as 150 miles in winter. I requested service and after several rounds of email with Tesla Service, it's...

Most likely will need entire battery replaced. MYP noticed degradation from 90% 271 down to 251 in 9 month 15k miles. The warning triangle popped up and no longer charging and I just drove it to SC. Now with the distribution and supply chain woes, this can take up to 3 to 4 weeks. On top of that...

My 2014 Model S60 battery failed two weeks ago. I received it back today and I looked like the range was odd. I believe the S60 was rated at 208 and when I got home I decided to charge it to 100% to check the range and at 100% it is 173. They told me I was getting a refurbished pack. I...

Tesla called me yesterday afternoon to notify me that my vehicle service was complete (replaced faulty charge door), and casually mentioned that "next time I come in" they will replace my entire LR battery. I started asking questions and was put on hold for a couple minutes, then was told it was...

My 2015 Model S 70D would overheat at superchargers(Heat levels would severely cripple acceleration/braking if supercharging for 45+ mins). Service center told they will be replacing the battery under warranty and it got me thinking about a trend I've been noticing for bat packs that are less...

hi everyone, I have a TMS 85 2014 and one month ago when the car was at Service Center solving a problem with dual charger, the technicians found a HV impedance problem and they suggest a battery pack change. Tried to find this kind of situation but never found anything about it. Does anyone...

On the 3rd after taking delivery the car shut down on the freeway. The car completely lost power within a few seconds, luckily I was able to make it mostly to the shoulder of the freeway/bridge. I got the following errors: "Cannot maintain vehicle power - Car may stop driving or shut down"...

Each day, since I took delivery last Wednesday, I faced my morning commute with a smile on my face and preset 80% charge in my new Model 3. As a first time Tesla owner I was thrilled to be driving my dream car. Rush hour traffic is no longer a dreaded experience when you're gliding in this magic...

I've been offered to buy a battery pack but must part it from car myself. Does anyone know if this is difficult to do? Also could anyone guesstimate health of battery if it was at 50% 6 months ago and not charged since due heavy damage to front. Owner says all electricity was shut off after...

yesterday i got the news that my February 2016 build model s p90dl needs it battery replaced. i cant help but laugh at this because of my post in the pack performance thread in January. after speaking with the SC, i find out that the P90D battery is not an on shelf item and i have X amount of...

Since there isn't much else to talk about right now, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to predict and discuss the Model X range and battery capacity degradation over time. Given the fairly extensive research done on the Model S, and the average mileage driven for personal cars, we...

source: Economics Of Owning A Tesla Car (TSLA,TM) I stumbled on this today and wanted to query TMC to see if the 12,000 number is true...it's not sourced in the article. the money shot is below (emphasis mine): Tesla’s Model S 85D has virtually no maintenance because its electric engine has...

Since the concept of the Model S, pack swap has been an integral part of Tesla's business plan. Tesla has demonstrated to the California Air Resources Board, in 2012, a manual five-person, 10 minute pack swap. Stanford Seminar - Dave Duff, Telsa Motors - YouTube (Dave Duff @ Stanford) In...

Life With Tesla Model S: Battery Upgrade From 60 kWh To 85 kWh time: 5 hours net cost: $17,000 zero range anxiety: priceless

Hi Everyone, I've been mulling over different things that have been announced recently and how some of the main issues with EVs seem to be range anxiety, charging times (particularly at home), replacement cost of the battery and the impact of EVs on the grid. I think I may have a viable...

I am due to receive delivery on my Model S (S85) in the next few weeks. Wondering what folks here think the value is on the extended pre-paid service, and the battery replacement option?

There's an interesting meme going that battery electric cars can be destroyed if their battery is left to go flat. As an enthusiast and owner I'm in no doubt about the need to keep the battery from becoming completely depleted but are you? Let me know in the poll. Perhaps there's a message to...
