Sorry if this is a repeat question. I've tried to search for battery replacement threads etc... I see some of the general costs from Tesla / 3rd party, Are the lead times still long?
This might be somewhat of a more unique question as I'm not a current owner. I came across someone selling a 2013 P85 signature performance for $10,000. According to them, the battery only charges to about 35%. And says they don't want to deal with replacement with Tesla. I'm not sure how they got their sales number but I assume they are trying to sell it for what they think would be the "break even" value if someone bought it and got a Tesla replacement. I'm asking you guys if this is a good way to get into an used P85? And does the fact it's a "signature" version factor in?
If I went 3rd party, would they be able to replace it with another 85kw battery?
There's alot more research to do with the car itself. ie.. drive motor, interior, suspension. But in this case, some things can be checked as the car should still drive with 35% battery? ie.. verify the model, options and drive the car around for listen to the DU, suspension etc???
Thanks for any suggestions
