P85DL HV Battery Replacement
- Thread starter K_KCB
- Start date
If it is a refurbished battery, which is pretty much all they have anymore, then yes it is likely the degradation will be similar.

it doesn't make sense to me how would they refurbish a HV bat. to have the same degradation as the one it's replacing?
Since the warranty criteria is that the replacement pack has to have the same, or more, capacity they likely look at what your failed pack had and then select the closest refurbished pack available in their inventory to use as a replacement.
A significant portion of degradation is from age, not use, so all packs of the same age are likely to have similar degradation unless they have been abused.

doesn't supercharging it 100% of the time compared to say 10% of the time make a big difference in degradation?
Not from what I have seen. It might make some difference but not a lot.
Charging it to 100% and leaving it there for a long period of time would likely make a significant difference..

thank you for the info. here I was thinking (dreaming) I'll be getting 265 mi. range as when it was new.
Tis is terrible. I've received no wait time estimate or anything. Battery died under warranty. They want me to rent a vehicle. "No loaners available." I've been out of a car for a month now. Beyond frustrating. Especially when I need it for work.

I’d call pretty much every day and demand they provide a loaner or rental on their dime for endlessly delayed warranty work.

Similar situation. Warranty HV battery replacement still waiting a little over a month in. Projected finish is about another month. No loaners available

Follow-up, credit where credit is due: I got my car back after a little more than 4 months. It has a new, so far as I can tell, 90 kWh battery. Tesla also upgraded the VCM to 8 GB, the cellular radio to LTE, and performed an airbag recall. I paid nothing.
While communication with the service organization could have been a little more forthcoming, in the end the experience was great. Tesla is clearly trying to keep me happy and they have succeeded.

I want to add my experience to this thread. I just retrieved my 2015 P85DL (see signature) with what I believe is a new 90 kWh pack replaced under warranty. I was about 1 yr 3 mos away from end of warranty. Process end-to-end took 7 weeks +/- The attached photos show what I had vs. what I got. This was done at Sarasota Service Center. I would give them high marks.

What is the range and charge curve you're getting? I've also had my 85 refurbished to a 90 and have improved range and charge speeds! Especially the Charge Curve is very satisfying!
I just retrieved the vehicle last night, so I haven't made a detailed measurement, but yes, after charging last night, it does appear to have improved in both respects as you suggest.
Thanks for sharing the pics and your experience! With your new 90 kWH 350V battery pack (1014116-00-C), do you still have Ludicrous mode available? Your signature seems to say P85D instead of P85DL, so I'm not sure if you changed it. Does it still accelerate as quickly as it did with the old 85 kWh 400V battery pack (1074980-00-E)? Thanks!
Also curious about this as I'm getting an 85 rev D pack--I hope it'll be a 90kwh
