Just had my 2nd battery changed--looks like she'll need one every year--can't wait for the warranty to expire--I intend to give at back to Tesla after 3 years and get another one!

Is it possible to replace the 12V battery as DIY?

Yeah, same problem with my Roadster. I really cheap, crappy gel-cell battery, they want $350-$400 to replace. With a known life of 12 months.
I thought they were better than other car companies.

My reading of the extended warranty is that the battery is not covered period.
o Parts and normal or expendable maintenance items and procedures such as annual service anddiagnostics checks, brake pads/linings, brake rotor, suspension alignment, wheel balancing,hoses, air conditioning lines, hoses or connections, Battery testing, fluid changes, appearancecare (such as cleaning and polishing), filters and wiper blades/inserts; and
- Maintenance/Parts, including but not limited to the following:
o Other maintenance services and parts described in Tesla’s maintenance schedule for thecovered Vehicle;
• Other Parts not covered:
o Bright metal, sheet metal, bumpers, ornamentation moldings, carpet, upholstery, paint, shock
absorbers, battery, battery cables, lenses, light bulbs, sealed beams, glass (e.g., windshield),
wheels, interior trim, body seals and gaskets (e.g., weather stripping);
... The new D chassis has the battery located in a much more accessible location in the middle of the frunk.
it can be charged by connecting a external 12v source of power to the post behind the nose cone.

And thanks for the photo of the battery. It's just a Pb deep cycle, not a gel.
