P85DL HV Battery Replacement

[K_KCB]

Hello all, I’m having a 2014 p85DL HV Battery that is being replace by Tesla under warranty. I’ve been told there’s a battery shortage in North America and the wait is 2 months.

Just wondering if anyone else is hearing and/or experiencing the same thing.

As way of background, car starting giving warning “Vehicle may not restart” while I was driving. Next thing, the car started shutting down and had to glide into a parking lot. It eventually start driving again, but it was in reduced power mode. See warning in attached for those interested.

Got it towed and it was informed that the HV battery needs to be replaced.

Love to hearing from anyone on their wait time due to “battery shortages”.

Do they intend to provide you a car to drive for the 2 months you're waiting?

Yah, they are super nice about it. Cruising around in a P90DL MX for 2 months.

Well that's good. 2 months is certainly a long wait but if they gave me an equivalent car to rack up miles on during the wait I suppose I'd be patient.

Yeah they can take as long as they need in that instance.

Mine has been waiting for an HV battery going on 2 months with literally NO estimated replacement date. From what I’ve heard because of the battery shortage it can be MONTHS longer (3-6 months).

As long as there’s a loaner it’s all good.

That is insane. Which model is your car? I was given a part number of 1132003-01-D, but I can't find anything on it for now....

I have a 2019 P100D.. still at the service center 2+ months later waiting for HV battery. They haven’t given any update.. no parts available for who knows how much longer..

Much the same experience here. On 29 October 2021 my 2015 S85D was towed to the Palo Alto, CA service center with a failed HV battery. The battery is covered under the 8 year warranty. So far there is no word on when a replacement battery might be available. The service experience, while civil, has been unsettlingly free of much information or apparent enthusiasm for solving my problem.

I foolishly declined a loaner at the outset and now find myself on some sort of waiting list. My patience is wearing thin and I'm considering next steps. The California Lemon Law can apply to vehicles unable to be repaired after 30 days but, generally, ones less than 18 months old. This car is 6 years old so likely an uphill battle.

What type of pack did they give you? Are they actually rebuilding 85 L packs or did they give you a software limited pack? Are you still pulling 1500 amps from the new pack in Ludicrous mode? What's your supercharging taper curve look like with a warm pack? What is the rated range of the new pack? What's the part number on the pack itself?

According to the invoice and the label:

ASY,HV BATT,P85D,REMAN,MDLS(1069777-01-A)
As for supercharging, have not done any yet, so no idea of the speed. But the range is the same as before service with rated at 392km

How do one measure the pack max draw? That measurement eludes me…

You need to attach a bluetooth OBDII canbus scanner to your DLC connector with a custom adapter cable. Too much detail to go into in this thread. Search or maybe someone has the links handy on how to make the cable.

Then you need to run a program like scan my tesla or TM-Spy.

how long did the BMS take to recognize that there was a new battery? ie. range

The BMS is part of the battery, so it brings the data for the replacement battery along with it.

I just got the HV battery replaced still showing same readings as the one replaced.

Then your replacement battery likely has the same capacity as your failed battery had. (The warranty says a replacement will have the same or more capacity.)
