Took my Model S in for 25k service. After service I like to pull the plastic under the hood and have a look, like replaced brake fluid, replaced A/C filter etc.
Upon further inspection between 12,500 service and this service a little corrosion is appearing below positive + battery terminal of 12V Lead/Acid Bat.
Now that to me means some acid has leaked out a bit around the battery terminal. Small, but its there. Now I would expect them to remove that and inspect. Any thoughts on how to approach this? This corrosion creates a shunt to ground, however little, its being grounded out.
Car was built April 2016. The battery is original to the best of my knowledge.
Batteries are warrantied I think. I get conflicting info on that. Some have said they got warranty, others say they had to pay.
I really don't want to touch it at all for fear if its warranty, something I do may void it. Perhaps they noted the corrosion and are expecting it to go out anyday. I can surely talk to my advisor and surely that means taking it back in. Any thoughts? Have any of you seen this with your Tesla?
