Sorry to see that happened. I've seen this come up though.
Yours should be fully under warranty. Tesla frequently provides a free Tesla loaner for these situations. We Tesla owners should push for more reliable vehicles, and I'd like to see the million-mile main battery they talked about within the last few years used as a replacement battery when needed.

Sorry to hear about that. Out of curiosity, who said that bolded part? There seem to be plenty of fanboys who believe it and will repeat and spread numbers like that...
Why would a Model S with a 100 kWh pack be out of the battery pack warranty? Is it a salvage vehicle?
In looking at your other posts, I see you imported this car into the UK from Hong Kong which is a different warranty region, so you have no warranty in the UK. Surely round trip shipping to Hong Kong to get the pack replaced under warranty is cheaper than £15,000.
Car died in North Carolina and I live in South Florida....it's been a journey.
Tesla has been great to deal with, so far....fingers crossed.
Everything is covered under the 8-year battery warranty.
Not easy to get a Tesla loaner due to low inventory but they are providing a loaner from a car rental agency. It's definitely not like driving a Model S, but it does get me where I need to go.

Did tesla provide a new battery or is this a refurbished battery, did you get the promised range after replacement that was at or above your battery range before it died?

The warranty says they will replace it with a battery that has at least as much range/capacity as the one that failed.
My 2018 Tesla S 100D died at 90,000 miles and Tesla replaced it with a brand new with more capacity (348 miles versus 335 miles at 100% charge) a well the 12V battery and I have been pretty happy about the new batteries so far.

I was told the same on my 2020 Model S with less than 25,000 miles. Another person on Facebook said they have waiting 3 months.
