P90DL battery replacement thread.

[davidc18]

The Dania SC has printed up signs for the dash for owners that have refused to update the firmware. There are also signs for owners who do not want their cars washed.

The Dania SC has significantly reduced the wait times for service. Our 70D was just in to have a door handle replaced and the service was performed 3 days after my initial call. Great job Dania!

Can they just put in a 100kw for a little cost?

cost to who? im not giving tesla any more money because they ****ed up building my car.

I am officially in the same boat. 85 tho. Hoping they allow us to get the larger packs soon.

 

[Indpowr]

So, I assume cars can be driven just reduced power as you wait for the refurbished 90kw. THEY come with 8 years so, do they extend or warranty any of the new battery? I have not had any issues yet but only at 7k miles. Battery warranty till Aug 2023. Love a 100 upgrade if offered

 

[jerjozwik]

i did not want to chance having a large issue and not being able to drive the car. i has been at the SC the whole time. sadly im on the 3rd replacement attempt. all the previous battery modules were damaged in some way...

i might consider a 100Kwh pack before i get out of warranty. until then its on tesla to fix their own issues.

interesting. you also have a ludicrous mode car. has anyone said specifically what happened with your car?

Yep! I have had ludicrous for a year now. They said it looks like ludicrous is putting too much stress on the battery. I asked to pay the diff for a larger pack. We'll see what happens.

They said it looks like ludicrous is putting too much stress on the battery.

Tesla needs to slow its roll if it's having such basic design issues.

finally [!!!] picked my car up today. a few things worth noting. first i am now on firmware 17.10.42, which is the first time i have heard of such a build. second, seems my battery pack part number has changed from 1071394-00-A to a 1069582-01-E. which does not seem to be listed in the model s PxxD comparison google doc. lastly there is a line in my "Description of work" that im a bit confused by... "Removed pack and install loaner."

Sounds like you get to go back in a couple months to get your original, repaired, pack back.

"Removed pack and install loaner."

Agreed, as the line item says they will send your pack to the factory for repairs, when those are completed your pack will be sent back to the service center for reinstallation into your car!

Hopefully they are making improvements to the packs at the same time...

Also love the line item "...vehicle exceeded WOT Count...." AKA you floored your car to much time for a new battery pack (FACEPALM) hope they fix all of this before the 8 year battery warranty is up...

 

[Indpowr]

Wow. Is this issue known for all P90DL gen 1,2,3 batteries or more specific. Haven't had any issues. Fingers crossed

Yeah, I think this is a proof that P90D batteries are defective and Tesla knows about it.
Why there is no recall? Why Tesla is keeping this quiet?

Can we assume that P90D used market should be avoided? Especially ex-demos. Like Mazda RX-8's engine, GTR's clucth or Fiat's Duologic gearbox, it is a ticking time bomb. I cannot imagine warranty costs after 8 years.

All I can think of is using WOT and launch mode as much as possible so that battery would fail before warranty period.

 

[Indpowr]

So what's a p90D battery run?
Looks like I have 6 years to save for a replacement haha

Can you log some data on your new pack and add it to my other thread? Would be great to know how this pack does.

 

[jerjozwik]

yah, i am for sure going to do that. is teslalog.com still opperational? thats how i datalogged before.

im just waiting for my mother visit. she really wanted to experience the p90d and it would be horrible if something failed between then and now.

 

[jerjozwik]

did not notice all the other replies. i will admit i do a lot of WOT, but never with launch mode or max battery. so this is just from using ludicrous mode.

also... ive noticed i have had regen limits for some time now. at temperatures way above when it should be limited. wonder if thats a sign of the pack loosing its luster.

I've used the power tools app on Apple devices. I'm going to try the TM spy app with a can cable and Bluetooth elm dongle.
