Cost of a new small (12 volt) battery

[Chuckben]

I have a 2018 75D AWD and I just got a notice that my small battery needs service. After six years I suppose it's about time for its replacement. Can anyone tell me what Tesla charges for this 12 volt battery? Or, can I take it to Interstate Batteries for the replacement?

$160 at Tesla not sure about interstate.

Labor will be more. Tesla will come to you if you're near a service center.

It’s about $210 all in. Done in your driveway if that available in your area.

It’s an AGM battery, hard to find one that’s cheaper elsewhere.

On my invoice in Dec 22 it was $165 for the battery and $42 for labor plus state tax. I found it hard to find a compatible battery outside of Tesla and the ones that would physically fit had the posts inverted so I would have had to add an extension cable. Not something I wanted to do.

The wheel in this case is perfected. Even though it is a rectangle. Great price for a not so frequent labor and parts. Easy sell for me.

Ohmmu is an alternative if you can't find Tesla's.

Ohmmu is an expensive alternative that has a history of compatibility issues but for some that have had a great deal of 12v failures it might make sense.
