How is 'it's actually cheap' even a 'fact'? Here (Europe) tap water is €0,45 per cubic meter or something for consumers, $0,50 a gallon is very expensive compared to that

The "fact checks" are voted on by twitter users, so--while there were some very funny good ones early on--the mechanic is definitely being exploited now by paid blue checks.

Using about 100 gallons per person per day, an average U.S. family four paid about $72.93 for water every month in 2019. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/water-prices-by-state

it's about 20x more expensive but it's in fact very cheap, only $18k per year

Tesla service center customers can have a little fraud, as a treat

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/please-help-2014-ms-battery-replacement.301095/

quote:


My battery replacement experience has been a nightmare. My 2014 MS P85 completely shut down. I got several BMS warning postmortem. Had the car serviced and the diagnosis was water in the HV batter fuse cover. Paid $2,149 to have HV battery removed from the car, test run to assess the heath of the HV battery, replace the fuse, ski rails and the low voltage battery. I was told the battery checked out good - no internal water leakage, good isolation checks and no secondary failures present. After driving the car for about two weeks, the battery’s range started dropped significantly (from 250 to 220 miles).

I eventually made a service appointment for the reduced range. Two days later the car shut down again. Remote diagnostics pointed to a SOC imbalance and a battery replacement was needed. Was quoted $15k for a reman 85 kWh battery. was told the new battery would have equivalent or better performance to the old battery and it would come with a 4yr/50k mile warranty. At this point, I am thinking fix the car and sell it for an upgrade. I asked if the battery warranty was transferable to a new owner. SC said, “they would need to have proof of service”. I asked, “Can’t Tesla connect the car VIN with the battery warranty.” SC said that would be a violation of privacy.

In other words, they would not volunteer the information in hopes the new buyer would pay for the replacement. This speaks to the type of company we’re dealing with here.

The replacement battery finally arrived, and I received another message from the SC saying they had to replace the ski rails and the low voltage battery at an additional cost of $500. These were the same parts I replaced two months ago. WTF? My reply – “NO”. SC said they had to replace the ski rails because the new battery doesn’t work with the old rails. I finally got the car back and the 100% range is only 244 miles and they gave me a reman 70 kWh battery, not the 85 kWh battery I was quoted. I am considering how far to take my displeasure.

Question: Could the SC have damaged the battery when removed the first time? Is a 70 kWh battery equivalent or better than an 85 kWh battery? I know the 70 kWh battery was made in 2015 and it’s a year newer. Will that make up for 15 missing kWhs? What’s the longevity of a 70 kWh battery compared to 85 kWh? Any thoughts?

quote:


I visited to the local service center, and they told me the sticker on the battery was wrong. I am not able to accept Tesla’s word at face value.

Reviewing the facts:
Sticker on the battery says 70 kWh.
Replacement battery is a different physical size (Was charged extra $ for new ski rails because car’s existing rails didn’t fit the replacement battery).
Car’s regen braking is weaker now than before the battery swap.
Car was repaired next day after being told it would take 2 weeks to get replacement battery. (not sure how significant this is)
Car has less range compared to a couple of months prior to the battery swap. (I charged to 100% using mobile charger on 50 amp circuit and topped out a 237 miles, but the range drop to 234 miles within a couple of hours without moving the car. The car had closer to 250 miles range a couple of months prior to the failure. The range dropped to 220 miles in the weeks leading up to failure which is why I scheduled a service appointment prior to getting the BMS_U029 error. It’s not fair to compare the replacement battery’s range to the range on the day of failure and say Tesla fulfilled their obligation.
As many of you have point out – a 70kWh battery will not provide 234 miles of range. A new S70 had a full range estimate of only 210 miles.
Dash reads P85
It appears I got some kind of Frankenstein battery. It has bits and pieces of both 70 and 85; and who knows what else.
Is it save to say I didn’t get the 1088815-01-D that I approved in the invoice?
Am I right in saying Tesla didn’t meet their obligation to provide a battery with equivalent performance? (Seeking candid feedback)
