I honestly wound not want old / "aged" packs going into my 1.5! Again, these cells age over time. Some people don't even do cool-downs to extend their pack's longevity, and again, packs coming in for the most part are going to be in the 140-146 CAC range and I don't want that let alone to go and have my Roadster put back in the shop to have an aged pack replaced again if the 1st swap prematurely died/degradation occurred faster than expected. I've been there, had a pack replaced under warranty, then a refurb pack thrown in and it never climbed the CAC up to an acceptable range. So what happened, my time and car had to go back into Tesla for another swap.
That plan is *unacceptable* in my business and car enthusiast mind.
And the real problem is that Tesla didn't announce the incompatibility issue until *after* people placed their orders. No word of the incompatibility on the order page, even days after the order no word. We were all in the dark. That needs to be fixed on Tesla's side. It is not professional nor the correct way to support loyal and supportive customers who were there through thick and thin.
Tesla is turning into a large public company, great. I'm happy for their success and that's exactly were we wanted them to be. However they cannot run this company as if its still a start-up and they must not forget the grass-root customers who were Tesla's best and most inexpensive advertising campaign.
