My 2020 long-range plus model S died this week. The vehicle was towed for service and I was informed today the high-voltage battery needs to be replaced. The car has 16,000 miles on it. While it will be covered by warranty, it sounds like it will be replaced with a remanufactured battery. I have some concerns that the replacement battery may come out of a vehicle with significantly more miles which may lead to range issues in the future. I never charge to greater than 85%, and have not utilized supercharging.
I was wondering if anyone else with a new(ish) Tesla has run into a similar issue and had advice moving forward? It will take 2-3 weeks to receive the replacement battery. Would Tesla ever extend the warranty or offer to buy the vehicle back using funds towards a new purchase?
