Hi All,
My 2015 85D is coming to end of battery/drive train warranty September 2023, so I wanted to find out the rough current cost for a replacement battery if the HV battery died suddenly in October, to make a more informed decision whether I keep the car post warranty (I really am quite inclined to run it into the ground, but want to know what I could be looking at if the worst happens).
Perhaps there's already info on this on the forums, but I struggled to find anything too specific so contacted Tesla directly and asked them for current pricing. I thought I'd share what they quoted. I asked for both the cost of a refurb and a new battery. I received a phone call today, and was quoted £26,750 which I was completely un-prepared for so didn't challenge, but when I later received the quote, both a new and a refurb were included in the parts replaced, as below:
If I'm reading this correctly, adding VAT, a refurb 90kWh would cost £9,940 + installation of £386 coming in at £10,326 (1089737-01-A)
A brand new 90kWh would cost £16,430 + install of £386 = £16,816 (1063792-00-B)
The Tesla guy pointed out that these prices fluctuate quite a bit, but I found it useful to get a guide price. He also said my battery condition according to their analysis is in line with other Model S at this age/mileage (129k miles, I calculate the useful battery to be about 67-70kWh depending on conditions based on the wH/mile and SoC)
Fingers crossed this won't be relevant to me (or you) for some years.
