Rated vs Ideal Remember you're using rating instead of ideal range at 100% State of Charge. Pic is my 2012 P85 with new (Oct 2022 build) replacement Tesla pack. Shows rated vs ideal. Pic represents 90 kWh pack corked to 85 kWh @90% SoC. I keep mine at rated.

Pic is EPA range for 100D. If you have a P100D, rated EPA range at 100% State of Charge is 315 miles.

Just approved. Welcome

@jack.l In my case, I paid $27k for my 2012 P85 in Oct 2022 from the original owner. I've since spent more than that for both new (not reman) pack and RDU, PTC heater and MCU2 upgrade. Given my current transportation needs and financial situation, keeping my #2446 on the road is a...

@jack.l $10k USD - That seems to be the current market rate for an 85 kWh used/reman/salvage replacement pack that gives the owner a rated range of around 240 miles. Just the pack. Any applicable labor, taxes, and warranty (explained below) are extra. $10k includes Tesla, 3rd party...

There are some options out there not requiring LDU removal. Here's one

Tesla's U version does supply coolant to the gearbox in the same ways all pre U versions have - via the flyover tube/pipe and inverter.

@FireFighterHil @j.harris exemplary explanation of RDU/LDU cooling (pre Tesla U version seal manifold delete and pre 3rd party coolant delete) here by Professor Kelly of Weber State at the 32 min 46 sec mark

On Tesla's U version, and many 3rd party coolant delete devices that keep the external tube (aka flyover tube/pipe), there is fresh coolant, not heat soaked from rotor going to the gear box via the external tube. Coolant delete bypasses the rotor entirely.

FYI Early MS LDU/RDU coolant leakage; current state of affairs

Yes, Tesla's U version still supplies same amount of coolant to both the stator, gear box, and inverter.
