I have to say that I felt the Tesla Model 3 was one of my best purchases for as long as I can remember. However, these error messages began to prompt less than 15,000 miles:

• Electrical system power reduced: Vehicle may shut down unexpectedly
• Vehicle may not restart: Service is required

and suddenly, the car wouldn't budge (doesn't shift over to 'Drive' or 'Neutral').. Tesla ran some diagnostics and said I needed a new battery pack. I didn't mind much since I'm under warranty, but when I asked when they can replace with a new battery -- they clarified they'd be providing a "reconditioned" one... Usually, I know the Refurbs try to match similarly aged batteries, but I consider my car nearly brand new. It's unnerving because these reconditioned batteries are never as good as new batteries, and I hear complaints about folks experiencing higher maintenance costs with the never-ending charge issues stories.

On Tesla's warranty coverage, they state the following: (1) ... the replacement Battery will be in a condition appropriate to the age and mileage of the vehicle sufficient to achieve or exceed the minimum battery capacity for the remainder of the warranty period of the Original Battery.; (2) If your Battery or Drive Unit requires warranty repair, Tesla will repair the unit, or replace it with a new, reconditioned or remanufactured part at the sole discretion of Tesla.

With that, I've asked Tesla if it's within their discretion, to replace the battery pack with a new one. I haven't heard a response back yet on this... but in the meantime, I'd appreciate if I can get some inputs/advice here. Thx in advance.
