Amazing coincidence that this gets posted today, just before earnings announcement.
Hate to hear that...they had a pretty early version of the S, I wonder if they'd had the 12v battery update?
Yes, it has been replaced once before. Item 4 on our Sept. 2013 service ticket consists of four service bulletin corrections, one of which was the replacement of the 12V battery. The part number is listed as 1024463-00-A. Seven other associated fasteners and terminal clamp adapters were replaced along with it.
As for the author recalling his dealership experience, please don't read anything conspiratorial into that. Matt's just saying he's driven enough unfamiliar cars over the years that he thought he'd have no trouble finding neutral in a car he hadn't driven before.

And I think it is a coincidence. They tweeted about it a few days ago, and I'm sure it takes some time to post the actual story.
I don't think Edmunds.com is much of a market-mover.

Most of these failures are inverter related, and some take out the main battery fuse(that's why Tesla replaces the traction pack).Based on their account of what occurred, I highly doubt we are talking 12 V failure. Most likely the HV pack will need replacement. Wonder if they have an A pack?
Edit: VIN in the 4000s most certainly has a B pack.

Would love to know how old/new (read: what's the VIN) of the test car Edmunds was given.
One lesson for me at least from this story:
• Consider buying some flares.
• Consider buying some high-reflection hazard triangles
I kinda wish Tesla would include these things as a safety kit. Some European manufacturers do or at least used to.
In most (all?) European countries you are required by law to have a reflection hazard triangle in your car.
Looks like a good idea to always carry a self powered LED flasher and/or some old fashioned flares.
This conclusion is incorrect. We have at least 3 reports on TMC of battery pack replacements that resulted in an A pack after the swap.I think they swapped their battery at 10k miles. So they would probably have a B pack either way.
