Hello Guys
Im new to this forum but need some experts to help me out.
Please dont post if you cant help me out.
I have a Tesla model S 85D. A month ago suddenly the car wouldnt charge to more than 57% and it said "Charge completed". The following week, everything was fine.
Now the last 2 weeks I have only been able to charge my car to 15%, after that it says "Charge complete".
I went to Tesla with the car. They ran some diagnostic and said the voltage on the modules was totally off from what was normal. They took of the battery pack to change it on warranty, but they wouldnt change my battery on warranty because the previous owner has opened the "fuse-lid" on the battery pack and changed something.
BUT they offered me a new 90kwh batterypack for about 30.000 USD, which i refused! Im from Europe and not US.
So now I have a car that will charge to 15% and I need some help about making some decisions. I can buy a used 85kwh Battery pack from a salvaged Model s 85 with warranty (3 months) for about 10.000 USD.
I dont see any problems in changing the batterypack myself, but will it work? Or will the current battery pack be "paired" to my car so i need some kind of Tesla technician to unpair the current pack and pair it with the new pack?
So bottomline questions:
- Can i change the batterypack with at new battery pack from another 85kwh Tesla?
- Does the pack have to be a special year? Like 2013 to 2016?
- Does this batterypack have to be from a Model S 85D? As I can see the batterypacks from 85 and 90 models are all 400VDC?
- And a last question, would you change the modules?
- I did a test with ScanMyTesla and for me it looks like 2 of the modules are off. But how much can the cell difference be in mV to be "normal"?
