100D supercharging speed - slow!

Please share what pack they put in under warranty. Hopefully it's new.

It will likely not be a new pack, nevertheless fingers crossed for a new one too @wodnik7 Yes, let us know how story continues ....

Yeah, I was thinking it'll most likely be a remanufactured pack, which hasn't performed well for a lot of folks.

We’re talking about a 100 pack here. Generally solid and not much info on remanufactured packs. Most of the data points out there in this situation are in regards to 85 packs

 

[wodnik7]

Ok, they want to charge me 250 bucks for performing circuit check and diagnosis and say everything is ok (!) The car stops charging at about 85-90%, and recently shut down at 6% completely.

Can’t be true…

 

[gaswalla]

your car is under warranty - you likely need a new battery

 

[wodnik7]

Yes, but they say everything is ok. Impossible.. how to argue?

Does it still charge and drive the vehicle? If so, then it hasn't failed yet.

You will likely need to keep driving it until it actually fails.

I got an error message for the passenger airbag. They wanted to charge me $510 to perform an inspection while the vehicle was at the SC. I said no. The light went away on its own.

This is something completely different. i already know my battery is NOT ok. Instead of charging me for “circuit check” they should care.

The car broke down completely without any warning at 7% and I had to tow it into the SeC. And it does not fully charge any longer. So I can use about 20% less of my battery. Not great. And 10kW at 70% is no supercharging..

So I will pay and wait for the battery to fail completely- but saying there are no issues at all is weird

Drive it and give it some time, it will fail.... Unfortunatelly there was no guarantee on residual capacity/driven km in the past...

Sure, it will fail, but I don’t want to pay and hear them saying “everything is ok”
- if it’s obviously not:/

Not all service centers are created equal. Some are downright horrible and unreliable. Contact another service center to get a 2nd or 3rd opinion. Maybe they can do remote diagnostics? If you're in NM then you'll have to go out of state, unfortunately.

Yes, that's exactly what I'd also recommend to do. Also wanted to propose it but forgot to do so :'D

Your final invoice will state new or remanufactured. Mine said Remanufactured.

I will have to wait till it breaks fully. I never heard of failing..

 

[BrownOuttaSpec]

@wodnik7 Any update?

 

[wodnik7]

Yes indeed. It broke again, at 15% it stopped in the middle of the night and had to be towed, and finally Tesla (another SeC) admitted sth is not ok. They changedthe battery.

I got this:

ASY,HV BATT,100KWH,CAT1,REMAN,SX (1107679-01-A)

Fully charged it is about 273 mi, the nominal full pack is 84,4kWh; DC charging total 252kWh, AC 15829kWh. So nice

But it took until June this year, more than 7 months. In the end I had only about 120mi range usable.. (top 15 and bottom 15% not usable)
