P90DL Tesla battery puro fuse blues 😢

Guys, I’ve been meaning to update you on my P90D. I got the computer done, yes (!) but I will update in the other thread.

So I just got this warning today did a quick search and I’m freaking out finding numbers like $11,000!

It’s going back in for a little bit of warranty work on the MCU 2 as they forgot to hook up my USB ports and a couple of other inkling things, so I guess I’ll get the bad news on the fuse quote today. I’ll keep you posted and update my other threads.

If anyone has some good news to share, I would appreciate it. Otherwise just give me the straight facts I can take it haha.

The battery has a pyro fuse that blows the fuse and disconnects the HV battery from the car electronics in the event of a bad crash. The early versions, like in your car, have a lithium battery that powers it. Newer models and the replacement for yours no longer require a battery. Lithium batteries have a life expectancy of about 10 years, thus yours needs a replacement. I believe this replacement is either covered under warranty, if your car is still covered, or costs about $100 otherwise.

That’s a little more encouraging than the other number iPhone that was 1100 times higher. Fingers crossed thank you very much for the quick reply!

PS I asked my wife what’s more comfortable to drive and she said Model S is more comfortable than her new Y. She’s warming up to my old S!

$11,000 is probably to replace the whole HV battery, not the fuse.

Okay, got a quote from Tesla it's C$445 to replace puro battery fuse. I'm okay with that.
