10 months agoHow about Tesla owners with over 100K discovering that they need to replace their batteries to the tune of $15K? It’s certainly not wide-spread yet, but it’s an issue that’s popping up. Also, repeated use of fast chargers shortens battery life.
The owner of Electrified Garage (back East) and Youtuber, RichRebuilds, just did a piece on it. He can do the job but it’s more expensive for him to do it than Tesla. Basically, he said owners with bad battery packs have three options: put it for sale on Copart and try to get a little bit back; pay Tesla $15K; pay an independent $20K.
