Model 3 battery error requires battery replacement

[adcatronrn]

My 2019 model 3 started giving an error and battery would not charge. Took it in yesterday and will require the high voltage battery to be replaced.

That means you get the newest revision of the battery that is for your car, so, other than being a data point for a failed battery, this is a good thing for you, right?

Interesting. Any other oddities in your 25k miles of ownership? Seems to have stabilized up to 23,500 miles, then a fairly quick kaput

yeah. a good thing overall since covered by warrantee. Tesla service center were very responsive and have it scheduled to complete by 7/2, much faster than I expected.

No, this was unexpected, but overall my experience with the car has been very positive. It’s the best car I have ever owned. I can’t wait to get it back.

That's still pretty bad you know. Imagine if your engine failed after 25,000 miles. I would be pissed.

Not necessarily. They could get a refurbished battery that is the same revision as what they already have. (Or even an older revision if it meets the capacity/performance specs.)

Yes because that NEVER happens in ICE.

I hope you will report back with the conclusion of this issue. I'm glad you'll be starting fresh, so to speak. Please share the condition of the battery that you receive. Good luck.

Battery replaced, good as new! Tesla service was excellent. Happy to have it back.

Did they tell you what happened? Also was replacement new ?

We had a 7 series BMW and the engine pretty much stopped working at 5000 miles they replaced the car with a new one
