Hello all, new to the forum here since as I'm currently looking to purchase my first Tesla, a Used Model X here in the UK.
I've found one which just came up with a replacement battery after a U029 error... but sadly I discovered that they only got a remanufactured battery under warranty (not new).
But reman aside, I just wondered if anybody has thoughts on this... they appear to have been fitted with a 75KWH battery as the replacement, despite the fact the car is supposed to be a 90D...
- now I know they can fit a battery which is only just as good as the battery they are replacing at the time before error popped up... but has anybody heard of replacing with an outright smaller capacity battery outright? Surely this will result in a performance reduction, no?
Other thoughts which come to mind are that since the car was originally only sitting on around 45,000 miles, it seems unlikely that battery would have degraded so far prior to the U029 error occurred such that it's likely that a 75KWH even at full capacity, would be at least equivalent to the original battery's range.
Am I missing something? Anybody have any thoughts on this?
Many thanks!
