2013 Tesla Model S 85 RWD Project Car! Replacing 12v Battery

This is my 2013 Tesla Model S 85 RWD project car. I purchased this a few days ago for the bargain price of $10,500. It has a few issues and in this video I address the 12v battery replacement that is needed.

Thank you, I have this exact car, year, color, and rotor scoring issue. Replacing the 12 V battery. Thank you for the clarification on the standalone utility battery needing to function with lead acid in cold weather. I was contemplating replacing with lithium

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@user-iu1yl2om7i]

About $280 (labor & part) to replace 12v battery on my 2013 Tesla Model S by Tesla Mobile service..not bad, considering the 12v battery on my 2014 Fusion Energi hybrid cost little over $200 for standard 3 yr guarantee 12v battery & it took me about 1 hr of my own time to replace the 12v battery. Time is money...

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah I would now have mobile service Change mine out

G'day mate, I have a 2015 model S and due to the pending 3G shut down in Australia in June this year I decided to upgrade the MCU to MCU2 with the radio module. My issue with this, according to the Tesla website and a tech I spoke to, it was supposed to come with DAB+ but it did not. I spoke to Tesla on this and they stated the older model S cannot have DAB+ as they did not come with the DAB+ antenna. Anyhow great video and I look forward to more videos. Subscribed.

[@Myksgarage]

What's the DAB+?

[@sjefvanmerrienboer6372]

youre welcome !

[@Myksgarage]

👍

[@sjefvanmerrienboer6372]

That clunck can probably be fixed with special grease in both driving shafts or if this is not the cause it could be rubber bushings not being vulcanised any more and need to be replaced with a special press.

[@Myksgarage]

Thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@KarzanMamle]

The rear clunk when accelerating can be either an issue with the rear large drive unit or suspension pieces. Check for slack in the suspension pieces, they should stay in place with very little play or no play at all 👍🕵️‍♂️

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks for sharing

[@stylin525]

Not a fix but I noticed when I set the regen braking to low mode… the clunking was noticeably less. Annoying louder when set to normal. I believe it has something to do with that. Hoping that doesn’t mean a rear drive unit replacement.

7:10 for those looking for the information.

I need a video about the screen upgrade and if it’s worth it I’m confused is the model 3 & s both have the same screen just did different style of so I’m going with model s

[@Myksgarage]

The screens are different between the 2 cars

[@ianbladuell2694]

Gorgeous make looking at bargain price.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah it has potential

[@Jonas-gj5my]

Which brakes and rotors did you end up ordering? Looking at replacing them on my 2015 MS.

[@Myksgarage]

I'm going with these amzn.to/3NBTNJr

[@bphung3446]

hi I have question for you did you have any problem with the door like when you unclog the door and second door open thereself ..?

[@Myksgarage]

It doesn't sound like I had that kind of problem.

[@Eraknelo]

Get the MCU-2. I got a 2nd hand 2018 that has had to be one of the last 100 - 200 of them that had MCU 1. It's UNBARABLE. Upgraded to 2, it's a world of difference. I kind of feel like Tesla should do the upgrade at a much lower price, or even free. MCU 1 constantly crashes, hangs, sometimes I'd be sitting in a parking lot for 5 minutes waiting for the damn thing to reboot to even be able to drive again.

[@Myksgarage]

I agree, it should be cheaper to upgrade

[@projectporvette1914]

Good instructional video but had to fly through 7-9min of fluff before I got to the meat and potatoes of why I clicked the video in the first place.

[@Myksgarage]

Okay...

[@gerardcrabb4556]

Maybe clear wrap screen to stop leaking issue?

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah that's an idea

[@gerardcrabb4556]

The dash can be pulled apart reglued and silicone sealed around edge to fix leaking issue...

[@abasm.7004]

Hello. I bought from Auction Tesla 3 2023 it has pull over signal, can you help me

[@Myksgarage]

What kind of pull over signal?

[@user-uz6zp4cr9k]

where did you purchase the replacement battery from?

[@Myksgarage]

My local Tesla Service Center. They have them in stock

[@lulud3817]

Is there an aftermarket 12v battery for 2013 Model S 85 RWD?

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah there are some lithium options

[@lulud3817]

Not interested in lithium @@Myksgarage

[@playlistKi]

do you have a link or name for an aftermarket battery?

[@walterwhite1]

How much does Tesla charge to do this at the dealership?

[@Myksgarage]

$108 in labor charges

[@walterwhite1]

@@Myksgarage no way. It’s that cheap?

[@gerardcrabb4556]

Tesla's getting stranded in cold with new type battery...

[@gerardcrabb4556]

Love how they bury the battery so service techs get to charge so much to replace...

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah it's a project to get it out

[@tleco61]

I didnt know it is that cheap for them to replace. You spent 1 hour trip and installing yourslf. No tmuch of a saving

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah there wasn’t much savings, but it made for a good video

[@tleco61]

@@Myksgarage Thank you. I was wondering how much and now i know it worth it to let them replace
