It would be interesting to know the actual numbers, % failures at what age and mileage per model. If you think about it, this warranty from Tesla (which is similar to BYD) is effectively a repair process. As batteries fail they get sent back, repaired/refurbished and returned to the next failed...

Except car engines are very reliable these days and are lasting longer than they used to. There is plenty of data and experience. I have a Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor Performance Tesla confirmed last week that anyone ordering a replacement HV battery for a Model 3 or Y would be charged just...

To be honest I am right in the throws of disappointment, hassle, worry and the fear of the unknown. I am also self aware. I know I could be over-reacting or worrying unnecessarily. But it is "how I feel" right now in this moment and I think that's OK and perfectly normal. We all know what to...

Thank you for your reply and it is somewhat comforting that you dont remember seeing anything like that at all for a model 3. But, I am not sure what you mean by "not into trying to convince anyone of anything" or suggesting I do what I feel is right for me? I have heard of a few Model 3 and...

After just 46,000 miles and 4 1/2 years of ownership, last week Tesla service advised me against driving my car as the HV battery was about to fail. It is now at the service centre awaiting a replacement HV battery. Tesla provided a Loaner car (awful experience due to arguments/charges over...

I’ve owned a model 3 for 4 1/2 years and I have a string of problems fixed under warranty. Happy to share what they are if you’re interested. But I to am seriously thinking of moving on.

To be clear, this is my first battery failure I was just responding to the last post on this thread. The OP had 3. I started my own thread here… Thread 'Battery Failure (and Tesla Loaner woes)' Battery Failure (and Tesla Loaner woes)

Hello everybody, Just jumping on to research and share battery failure experience. After just 46,000 miles and 4 1/2 years of ownership, last week an Alert appeared on my screen to say 'You may experience some loss of range compared to the charge state of the battery but car is "OK to Drive"'...

My HV battery has just failed. Under warrantee, but the threads here and in particular your post increases my concern but is good knowledge to have under the circumstances.

Excellent! At long last. That's my wedding anniversary too! I am v jealous. Really wanted those wheels. They did ship some after all then. Would love to hear what you think of them when you finally get it. That was v fast and lucky to get the upgrade offered with the price-match. Good for...

Thanks @Rimigo , yeah that's what I thought. It's been nice to drive for a week. Good to experience it and be able to compare it to the M3 when I finally get it tomorrow or Tuesday. It's got FSD too so I'll have a good comparison to the standard AP. I wonder if I'll miss it. Not sure I will.

Hi, I'm back from business travels. Trying to catch-up on the sheet. Seeing loads of delivery appointments for long-time orders and late orders alike - plus seen one unicorn appointment too! Great for everyone who is finally getting their car. Still, no car for me but should be picking up...

haha, yeah me! Got a VIN and delivery appointment almost straight away. About a week later I turned up to collect, no car. No one cared. Fed up.
