This week my 2011 Roadster (VIN 277) was upgraded to the 3.0 battery following a prior PEM failure and then the battery turning up at the same time. The mileage at time of replacement was 72k, and the ideal range showing at 160 (range charged to 190) and actual at normal driving speeds about 140 miles. CAC was 135.7
Next to a shiny X at Gatwick SC post install.
I traded in my battery replacement agreement (courtesy of the original owner), which reduced the overall cost to $6000 which seems a good deal
The order has taken 9 months from placing in September to delivery this month, though accelerated I think by the PEM failure.
The new battery is showing 340 miles on Range charge, a CAC of 214.5 and achieving real world range of over 280 miles so far (driven at 70mph plus on the highway). The acceleration seems unchanged and power uptake seems smoother at the top end. The PEM and Motor temps show higher than before, but will need to monitor to determine if weather based (temperatures here in the mid 20'c this week) or due to new battery.
Second range charge
Tesla are saying that the re-manufactured PEM (my fourth
) has a 12 month warranty, and new battery has a 3 year warranty.
Also intend to get the Roadster on a weighbridge to see what the new mass is like vs. the original one.
Perfect timing for the unusually glorious May weather in the UK.
