I'm guessing no-one has the data, but is there any way to estimate approximately the percentage of pre-facelift Model S cars that have needed complete HV battery replacement?
As far as I can tell, Tesla sold roughly 100000 Model S from 2012-2015, so probably around 120000 or so before the 2016 facelift.
There are quite a lot of reports of battery replacement on here and other forums, but obviously not many people are writing that they haven't had/needed replacement.
So what would people's estimates for the number of battery replacements, or a percentage of the cars sold?
I'm looking to buy a 2014/2015 Model S cars to buy, which would have 1-3 years of battery warranty left. I'm comfortable with being out of warranty for the rest of the car, but the battery failure rate is more of an unknown coming from an ICE...
If only Tesla had a clear pricelist for replacement!
