Yea I know he said he could but said he didn’t want too even with the 90 batteries built in when he first posted it. I thought you had ludicrous added already I wasn’t aware you did it too or I just forgot I actually had this pack before it was replaced with the one you have and it hardly degraded surprisingly. This pack is usually only in the Model X but they put it in some S’s that were P90D’s without ludicrous. Mine had ludicrous added later and I really wasn’t that rough on that battery as I was with yours Which is interesting what he said about it degrading, even tho mine really didn’t he knows that it is likely more prone to be effected by ludicrous. Also what’s interesting and I brought this up in another thread, is the pack you have and I’m sure anyone with this pack as well, Tesla doesn’t sell them with ludicrous anymore. If you look at their used cars and this has been this way for several months, the ones with manufacture dates before August only have ludicrous. Now it just looks like it’s the ones with Ap2 but a several months ago the packs with Ap1 didn’t have ludicrous either all based on their manufacture dates. This pack is capable of 500kw as well. Not as much as yours but right around 500.
As I was writing this your post just came in.
Interesting I would have assumed just adding this pack would also void the motors/drive units etc. Just cause of how strict they are and their history Sadly enough I had at least 3 drive units replaced and 2 I know were with this pack and 1 with the other.
Now can they shut off ludicrous? I pm’ed you and explained that I would try to never go to Tesla for any repairs just cause I feel like they would do something negative to the car. Can you make it where they cannot send me updates? There is nothing good about updates when you have an older Tesla, at least that’s my opinion. My concerns would be them trying to take away FUSC, I wouldn’t necessarily be worried about them limiting the performance since it’s not covered under warranty. So I don’t think they would care if my pack got ruined but I don’t put much past them anymore. And they force updates as I have had at least 2 forced and don’t even have my WiFi setup for my car to use to try to use it, just cause I thought that may prevent it from happening. I try no to get any updates until I have read to see if others had any issues, especially after the one where max battery didn’t work for like 6 months.
How much would one expect to pay for a rear drive unit replacement ? Now I have heard it wasn’t really necessary usually as far as them just replacing everything, that they could have fixed certain parts instead of replacing the whole rear drive unit. Is this true?
