battery

Hi folks, seeing as most discussions around battery replacements are with North American owners, I thought it useful to see about folks chiming in with their European experiences of warranty replacements and otherwise. U.S. folks have been getting for the past few months new 350V battery...

Hello. I have a some sort of specific situation. I drive my 2022 Model 3 long range daily to work. I park in the garage where I can charge for free using Tesla wall Connector. I set my charge limit to 80% and charging daily plus leave it plugged in until I pick up the car. When I come home I...

Hello All! New to the form here so Iam sorry if this was asked before but I can’t find any related posts. I have a 2022 Model Y long rage (non performance) and it’s coming up to 1 year of ownership. Overall ia very happy but Iam just still trying to understand the sudden changes in charging...

I bought a used 2014 model S. The battery died and was replaced by Tesla under warranty with a remanufactured battery. Now that remanufactured battery has died. I'm wondering if there is a warranty on the remanufactured replacement battery from 3 years ago?

I know this item has been discussed a few different ways, but I wanted to try something a previous user posted in length about, as well as get some insight of my own. For reference, here is the length of the post I’m referring to: How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity I fell down...

Will charging at non-Tesla charging stations (DC chargers excluded) damage the battery? Thanks!

1. How to find serial number of battery pack in model 3? 2. Is it possible for tesla service center to swap battery pack without customer knowledge? 3. How long does it take to retro fit Full Self-Driving (FSD)? Does 14days sound right?

Hi there, I’ve noticed that my MYP stops charging at 79% when I’m setting the app or the car with an 80% target. Does anybody have the same issue ? Software version 2022.40.4.1 Thanks!

Recently got an issue with my MS 70 HV battery and going to get it replaced under warranty. Decided to upgrade the pack to 90kwh but on my invoice they listed this battery part BATTERY RANGE 1.00 UPGRADE, 70KWH TO 90KWH, MSX(1091845- 09-A) From reading the forums, A revision is capped at 90kw...

After I got the update 2022.36.2 my car is losing a lot more battery when sitting at work. Normally for the last 8 months it will loose about 1 to 3 percent sitting at work. I do have the over heat protection and sentry mode on. But like I said, I might loose maybe 3 % during the day. Now...

This might be a stupid question but I have read that people should just plug in and charge when they get home. That's what I've basically done. Nomrally I use 10 to 20 percent of the battery daily for my commute depending on if I have to do things before and after work. I keep reading that...

Hi Everyone, Over the weekend I found myself in a predicament: I had underestimated the necessary amount of charge in rainy/windy weather on the highway and ended up having the car run out of charge before I could reach the nearby supercharger. My car is fixed now but the experience which I...

Hi, All. A few months ago, I saw a guy on a Tesla forum trying to sell the EarthX battery and 3-d printed mount for $100+ surcharge. I recently needed to replace my battery under warranty, so I decided to print the base for the battery and share it with others who may need it. This battery base...

This is long but I think pretty important. I had my battery pack go out 2 days after I bought my used 2012 model s and ended up going through RECELL to refurbish the battery and things were great for a couple months... I sadly had a fender bender 2 months ago, and the "Tesla approved" body shop...

While the car was plugged in for routine charging overnight (battery was at ~30%), a software update occurred. In the morning I saw the 'software update completed' notification. When I pressed the handle of the passenger side door, it opened a crack, but after that the car went dead: didn't...

My 2013 ms85 just yesterday got the service soon error and the charge dropped from 50% to 0% overnight. Unfortunately car could not drive and required tow. Feel lucky I snagged a loaner Model 3 from Tesla service center for what could be a long wait. This is Milford, CT Tesla Service Center...

Some OEM lead acid auxiliary batteries on older Teslas seem to completely rejuvenate with the addition of distilled water -- the same as with many lead acid batteries. I first learned this with my previous car -- a 2004 Prius -- which had a very user-serviceable auxiliary battery. I was about...

Just set up scan my tesla app for the first time Looking at my battery cell voltages for the first time What you do guys think my cars battery health is looking like I see one of the cells is noticeable lower but for those who are more knowledgeable how bad is this difference I have 111,500...

Not sure where to post this exactly. My 2012 S 85kw "A" pack was replaced with a "D" pack. Yay me! (Thanks Tesla!!) When I supercharge I never get close to 90Kw let alone 150 or 250 Kw. Did Tesla forget to flip a virtual dip switch? Is my 2012 too old to support higher charging despite the...

I recently purchased an 18 month old Model 3 Long Range Tesla .. I left the car parked while on vacation for a week and it lost over 300km in range . I recently upgraded software and am wondering is this the reason for the battery drain , I’ve turned off all other settings such as sentry mode ...

Here is the info. Any thought? Thanks!

I’m looking for links and information on Tesla recovering energy from suspension travel via ultra capacitors. I once saw a brief video about this but I don’t know if Tesla actually put it into the suspension. Any info, confirmation or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

My Y was manufactured in early 2020. I'm curious to know who the manufacturer of the battery is. How can one tell? Thanks.

My car Tesla Model 3 2018 Errors appeared: vcfront_a192 vcfront_a182 vcfront_a402 I bought new SLA 12V battery, after replacement, after 4-5 hours the error appears again Tell me what could be the reason? Appeared after update 2022.20.7.

My 2019 Dual Motor M3 never had the 310 range I was promised. I started at about 305. It dropped to about 284 (derived from the Stats app) by 60k miles. This seems like a standard drop, from what I have read. But just in the last two months, it went from 283-286 or so, down to 274 almost...

I recently purchased a 2021 (refreshed model) model s LR, tempest wheels. the vehicle is rated at 405 miles, but i cannot get anywhere close to that range. At best i am squeezing 60% of the range ( IE. charged to 324 miles(80%), driven down to 81 miles (20%) = in theory i should of driven...

I am a new Tesla owner so if this is a dumb question, I apologize. Should I be concerned? I had my Tesla charged to 90%. Drove 9 miles and it is down to 85%. Yesterday, the first day I had my car it dropped from 87% to 59% in 45 miles. I am not driving fast, (I’m an old lady and it’s not why I...

I hit an object on the road which broke through the front skid plate and ripped away the battery coolant hose from the battery case. Towed it in to service center after getting low coolant message and they are saying entire battery pack has to be replaced. The estimate that they sent me lists...

Before work I pull into my local charger next to a Taco Bell I watched a mobile technician from some random company change this other guys 12 volt but he never disconnected the 400 volt and I stopped and asked him about it and he says it's "recommended" not "required" What could happen ?

This has probably been discussed a lot before, but I’m new to the club so wanted a clean start! I left my Model 3 with an off-airport parking service for 10 days. It was driven away with 202 miles range and returned with just 60 miles. It had only been driven 16 miles to and from the car park...

Hi Guys, so I recently received my model y long range. It’s a 7 seater with laminar wheel cover from Rimetrix. I’ve been mostly driving local with AC set to 68-70 with only 1 passenger. I dunno why my wh/mi so bad. Any idea? Speed was mostly within 30-45.

There are now numerous threads in this forum about the battery's PCS in the HV Battery Service Panel breaking down. In the dispute I have filed with Tesla awaiting AAA mediation, it would be helpful to have a rough estimate on how many forum members have experienced this problem. If you are one...

Tesla is trying to say my hv battery needs to be replaced because of dead cells in the battery. I had no sudden battery degradation. Charging worked fine. I got error codes about the 12v and my car would not go into drive but my battery stayed full. They took it in and said the coolant pump and...

This is kind of long, but I am trying to add every detail - any sort of help would really be greatly appreciated. I was coming back home with my family from a semi-long road trip on my 2013 Tesla Model S 85 that I've owned for about 6 months without any sort of mechanical or range issues. We...

So I may have an answer from Tesla Service Center appointment on Monday, but wanted to know if anyone had any experience with the following scenario/scary error messages: UMC_a017: Charge Rate Reduced - Wall Plug Temperature high BMS_a167: Unable to charge - Charge port door must be closed to...

June 2017 Model S 100D. Bought new June 2017. Now 54,785 miles. I generally keep the charge between 50 and 70% unless on a road trip… then 90%. Every 3 months or so, I charge to 100% and drive a long distance right away. Supercharger for about 60% of the time, rest using dryer outlet to get...

Hi everyone, I hope I can get some help or suggestions. Few days ago I drove over something at the freeway and immediately got notification for low coolant and schedule service. I looked under the car and saw some leaking. I schedule service for first availability and brought the car over. (I...

Hello everyone, I have had my LR M3 for over a year now and lately, I don’t know why, it does not charge to the limit I set for it. For example, I don’t drive a ton day to day so I have been seating my limit to 60% In the morning when I get ready to leave it will say charge to 56, 57, 58%...

Hi everyone, Last year, I bought a used (from Tesla directly) 2017 70D model X, supposed max charge 237 miles. My battery seems to drain very rapidly. It will only charge to 212 miles and on top of that I consistently use up 1.5-2 miles of battery per 1 mile driven. I.E, I can only drive 100...

I can view the car inside temperature and the outside temperature from the Tesla app. But I've not found a way to read the battery temperature. In ABRP they have a temperature under the Vehicle section they call "Initial vehicle temperature". Is that actually the battery temperature? I've...

Hi all, I purchased a used 2016 S75 from Tesla. Website said range of 249. When I went for pickup, badge said “70”. They said “oh it was updated to a 75 via software updates”. I went home and charged fully, and max range is 220. Of course, Tesla rep said, degradation, 249 was just an estimate...

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...

Model 3 Long Range 2022 battery issue Hi everyone, I just bought a model 3 on November 23rd and a week later received a call saying they my car may have a battery problem and that they need it back at the service department. I’ve been told my battery needs to be replaced. I was given a...

Reading about exploding Bolts and melting wires, seems to be prudent to install smoke and fire detectors close to where battery packs are. And a AFCI circuit breaker if not already. I doubt any home garage has a smoke detector, not required by law, should it be?

Hi all, I know the rule of thumb when it comes to SOC is 20-80% and it is okay to go above 80% for a short period of time like before the long road trip when your battery will discharge bellow 80% after an hour or so of driving. However, when it comes to the lower level of SOC, is it okay to...

I picked up a used 2019 Model 3( slightly at 11K miles ) a few weeks ago and was a bit distressed that the 100% charge was only 200 miles. After reading more than a few threads here, I did some work of charging, running the battery down.. letting it sit.. charging back to 80%.. rinse repeat...
