Hooked up cable adapter and SMT - here’s what resulted on the reman. battery pack replacement - can finally put this to rest.

I will say that I was very skeptical of the battery replacement work - all the videos I saw on YouTube of people taking the battery off the car showed stripping out the interior (front seats, center console, carpet) to get to some bolts inside but either they did a great job of putting it all...

I’ll check out the energy screen method you sent me for sure. I’m getting pretty similar charge to what I was getting before - I was getting anywhere from 317-320 at 90% and I got 320 yesterday at supercharger while charging and 317 after going below 300 and charging at home.

I found the adapter cable and reader on Amazon to check it with SMT - hopefully will be able to check tomorrow and put it to rest.

I have Tesla Insurance - I would assume they wouldn’t allow this to happen. I spoke with 3 different SAs and they all said the battery would continue on the original warranty. I’ll try to get this in writing but not sure how they would even write that in a legal sense and send it to me. As far...

Went out to look for the battery label this morning with the instructions you linked and this was all I was able to find - looks like it might be the part number for the battery enclosure? SMT sounds like the only option but I’m assuming that means adapter cable + module to read the system?

Well that took forever - should also mention its 102F here in Texas - made it to 354 at 100% at the Supercharger. Car said charging complete but never disconnected from Supercharger (usually hear the clunk). Watched the kW rate dwindle down to nothing while $ was charging about .01 cents every...

Currently supercharging and seeing “charge limit: 352 mi”, I’ll update at the end with what it ends up with - picking up the car was pretty easy. I spoke with a SA about my concern and he seemed nice about it. He had another coworker come and look at something on his computer with the details of...

Thanks Alan I appreciate the correction to my misreading/misunderstanding and your knowledge. I agree on it all being an exercise in frustration - mostly just trying to figure out what I am losing out on if I have the older pack vs a newer one since I am assuming with the 2022 I had the 82 kWh...

Got it, that explains a lot and didn’t realize the batteries were that close with 77.8 vs 79 kWh. I think it’s just confusing for those that don’t know much about anything battery-related to see “75 kWh reman” on a parts list after reading about 2022 LR having newer 82kwh packs. Are there any...

Yeah I didn’t really have to deal with Tesla Insurance at all other than filing the initial claim. I would say it was a good experience so far.

Thanks for the suggestions - really appreciate the insight. I am thinking if I should just head to a nearby supercharger and charge to 100% before heading home (about 50 miles) so I can get the read at 100%. Is it that the difference between the 75kwh/82kwh packs is something like 5 miles? My...

I haven’t picked up the car yet but Tesla Insurance is covering the cost of the repair. My deductible is $500 so I will have to pay that at some point but they haven’t asked for it yet. When the service advisor notified me via the app that the repair was completed they said they were just...

Repair is complete and I have Tesla Insurance. They didn’t have any hesitations with it and have to say it was a very smooth process.

I have the 18” wheels/aeros

Got notified that my repair/battery replacement is complete and ready to pick up. I did confirm with the tech earlier in the week that it was a remanufactured pack that is “apples to apples” as the service advisor says (but still won’t tell me if it’s 82kwh pack or 74…) Wanted to ask how I...

We can probably take guesses how it would go. I didn’t want to start an entirely new thread to ask but I’ll admit I’m a little ignorant in the battery department: when I charged my 2022 LR I would get around 315-320 of estimated range at 90% charge. I know that’s just a number that can change...

Yeah, definitely didn’t know about this. I think I just assumed the original factory battery warranty would continue to apply to whatever pack they replace it with in my car.

Good point - I’m assuming the Rich Rebuilds repair would void the warranty? If I didn’t think it would be a problem in the future or I just outright owned the car I’d probably go for it as well and keep the insurance battery money for the future like you’re saying. I’ve been floating the idea...

Definitely agree with you there - I never realized how fragile that area was until this happened. Crazy that something that can destroy itself and result in a total battery replacement sits a few inches above the road.

Not sure if they are obligated - they seem to be treating this as if it’s a warranty claim but my initial thought was that my insurance company would be more invested in restoring value of the car and not putting a lower capacity pack in a 4 month old car. I guess the problem is where they blur...

This isn’t a warranty claim but I feel like they are treating it as if it is. I have Tesla Insurance so it has been like pulling teeth to even get a response from my adjuster. I told him early in about the issue and he said he didn’t get an estimate from them yet (despite them sending it to me)...

Unfortunately car has been sitting at the service center for a few weeks already. When I looked into finding battery label on the newer model 3s, a lot of people saying there’s no label anymore so not sure if I’d be able to find one.

Awesome - thanks for sending this over. I sent it along to SA and will see what they say. I’m hoping it’s a weird issue with nomenclature that they call the newer packs 75kwh. Would an older battery pack be able to be installed? My LR is 4 months old and had around 318-320 miles at 90%. Is it...

Also going through this right now with Tesla service center telling me that a 82kwh battery pack was never made and mine was 74kwh in my 2022 Model 3 LR. The part list for the insurance replacement of my battery says 75kwh. Anyone ever figure this out?

I hit an object on the road which broke through the front skid plate and ripped away the battery coolant hose from the battery case. Towed it in to service center after getting low coolant message and they are saying entire battery pack has to be replaced. The estimate that they sent me lists...

Did you ever find out anything about this? I'm going through the same issue with my 2022 Model 3 LR where they are saying they are replacing a 75kwh pack with a 75kwh remanufactured pack.

Hi - did you ever find out what happened with this? I am going through the same exact scenario right now with my 2022 Model 3 LR - Tesla is replacing the battery pack and saying they are putting a 75kwh remanufactured pack in and that it's an exact match to what's in there. I was under the...
