Is this the same 12 volt battery?

 

[XLR82XS]

Yes, I have the same OE batteries in my 2019 & 2020.
What's a P3D?

But what the hell is it? A Model 3 Performance?

Coolant looks low, no? Hard to tell. But it looks blue, like Honda's coolant. Need to ask what Tesla uses, to top it off if needed. Or ask Tesla to top it off. Shouldn't be any special procedure for that; just cold, like on an ICE car too.

its a model 3 performance, there is no such thing as a "P3D" from tesla, its just internet speak (complete with companies that have capitalized on said internet speak to make replacement products to fit the slang).

It’s a Model 3 Performance without the Performance Upgrade Package so while it has the same performance as the Performance it doesn’t have the Performance wheels, brakes, and suspension but it still costs the same as the Performance which begs the question why get the Performance without the Performance Upgrade Package but you see this is somewhat of a moot point because Tesla no longer offers this option.

In my March 2018 build Model 3 LR RWD I have a different revision for the 12v battery. Mine has Tesla part number 1129182-00-A. My car has 53k miles and the 12v battery is still going strong, BTW.

Some observations. I see they are coming with the sound damping wrap now which is nice. Also, there doesn't seem to be any home depot level support strap like before. I assume they made a proper bracing bracket?

So P3D is Model 3 Performance Downgraded. Maybe P3S for the Stealth version would have a more positive spin to it.

Only some of the earlier Model Y had that hardware store bracket.

It actually just stands for "Performance 3 Dual Motor", there isnt any notation in that moniker for whether it has the performance package or not. Its just internet speak though, as I said.

There is no such thing in actuality. The actual model of the car is "Model 3, Performance" with performance package, or without.

That's an impressive run on sentence.

Come up for air and throw some periods in there!

Any idea what the fix was?

Checked it this morning and full but its clear not blue.

They weren't broken and didn't need a fix. But I don't have one, so don't know if Tesla replaced the brackets with the correct ones if the owner complained or if the car was in for other service. I personally wouldn't care as long as they worked as intended and had the same durability as the original part.

Tesla uses G-48 coolant like used in BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes. Here's an example of one brand of G-48 Valvoline™ Zerex™ G-48™ : Product Catalog - Valvoline

Make sure you check the correct reservoir, but do not open it. It's the one to the left (passenger side) of the red 12v battery post cover. It has MAX and NOM stamped on the side. The reservoir on the right (driver side) is for the brake fluid, which is DOT 3 fluid.
