New (to me) Model 3 .. problems day 2 of ownership

[outofcontrol]

Owned a 2019 Model 3 Performance for just over a year and loved it. I wasn’t sure about Tesla’s so bought that with high mileage.

Fast forward to now, bought a 2021 Model 3 Performance low mileage. Two days into ownership BMS_a066.

Had issues getting the car added to my app, but finally got that sorted. Now it looks like it will have a HV battery replacement following some remote battery check by Tesla.

 

[Overworked]

The car and battery are still under warranty, so it just seems to be the luck of the draw. It is a fairly rare but not unknown problem (particularly for M3P cars) with a well established fix under warranty. Could have been a week or a month or a year after purchase.

As a warranty fix you wont be out of pocket.

When you look in the alerts warning history, does it show these alerts were appearing before it was sold? Or just a new fault?
