Hello,
Never posted here, but I'm at a loss of what to do so thank you for any advice that I have in advance.
I have a brand new kid, and to be honest I have neither the patience nor experience to deal with this - How do I get rid of this car?
Any advice is appreciated...

- I have a 2013 tesla (60 KWH) 105K miles - always treated it well I bought CPO from Tesla in 2015
- Between 2020 - 2021 I replace all 4 door handles, the screen is replaced - glue starts leaking out the bottom, and the SD Card/wireless
- Right after I replace the screen I get a message saying that it won't charge to maximum any more
- Service tells me I need to replace battery pack for 11K (this is March 2022) - I have a documented estimate
- <1 year and 5K out of battery warranty
- Battery arrives last week and they now service me it is 20K to replace - wasted 6 months paying insurance
- I talked to dealerships and carvana - they won't take the car because tesla is the only one who can replace the battery
I have a brand new kid, and to be honest I have neither the patience nor experience to deal with this - How do I get rid of this car?
- Do I burn 20K up front to get - to get 8-10K on the back end (looks like these cars are selling 28-30K now)?
- Do I scrap for parts?
- Do I try to sell on private market - like cars.com with the caveat that you can only charge to 35% - drive around town, but you supercharge for free?
- How much should I try to sell it for?
- Is there someone I can complain to? I looked at Tesla website and they don't have like a corporate HR
Any advice is appreciated...
