I used to mod import cars in my youth, so I can understand the pursuit of more power or better performance. That said, the Ohmmu LiFePO4, at over $400 is probably one of the worst ROI. I used a Blackvue B-124 lithium iron phosphate battery to power dashcams in the past so I'm familiar with the quick charging benefits for certain applications, but the Model S already has a very good AGM 12V (which is already a step up from a traditional lead-acid 12V). Saving 10 pounds of weight will net you maybe, maybe 0.25 percent, or 0.01 second quicker acceleration -- you're not going to feel that. You might as well pull out your floormats and lose the same amount of weight for a lot less money without potential of voiding your warranty.
There is distrust on both sides, OP and SC. Glad that car seems to be alive and charging again after stock parts were reinstalled (assuming that's what happened until we hear more). Sucks this happened to a repeat customer. Just a series of poorly handled incidents. Hopefully OP gets a working car back and maybe has a different option of SC to use in the future. I know it's tough though out in the Midwest around MI and States that don't allow Tesla to setup service centers and sell direct.
