Superb - great to see the knowledge being gained by independent EV specialists!

Agree. It's how they fix regular cars. Many times the makers of the car keep the info secret on how to service stuff. So you have to find out one way or the other.

Great video about EV life extending. What would be very interesting would be if Valdemar was able to break down elements of a repair like this, like cost taking down and installing battery again, cost of going over battery and replace lid/valves, and cost of replacing a module. Does this battery repair cost 40k, 60k, 80k or more ? (not with any discounts, what regular customer would pay) What I am looking for is, if you buy an old Model S, or a similar other car, you may have to haggle with seller as you will have to expect doing a job like this not to end up paying more than it is worth.

[@o00scorpion00o]

"Great video about EV life extending" Yes if you're mentally retarded enough to spend that kind of money, this is one reason people are weary of electric cars, that are older. I've got a VW id3 82 Kwh and that's my greatest fear if it dies after the warranty, there's no way I will spend the money on and older EV with less range and new electric car prices are gone insane so I'd probably go back to 2nd hand Prius or Diesel.

Failing bmb sensor 6? It's the one that sits on the bottom of the pack. It sits in water and corrodes. This was why Tesla changed the firmware in 2019.16. It compensates for this by reading the neighbouring cells and guesstimating the voltages. It should be a recall

[@jasonw98]

Failure on them by not changing sensor, accelerating degradation. Another planned obsolescence.

Hi, good to see that parts are sold by Tesla to independent repair shops, BTW being this one almost 10YO then if I'm not wrong the Maker is not anymore obliged to have spares available: ever experienced spares shortage?

[@HR2635]

important part missing.. how well did the battery charge and perform after the repair?? And what is the cost of the repair?

[@MrRaitzi]

These repairs can last anywhere from 10 to 50tkm. Usually they just replace broken cells but rest of the battery is still old and next cell might die soon.

[@user-tk5yw9cc5i]

A little anticlimactic end, we need to see the car drive. Test acceleration/battery degradation etc. What's the impact on a service like this - also add the amount of hours/materials spent, so we get a rough idea of what a service like this can cost. As you said, Tesla is scaring people away from the old models with their crazy prices.

[@robertmezei7755]

Great video, thanks but you should put proper protective gloves on next time you walk around HV platform. It all looks safe until it doesn't. You don't stand a chance against 400V DC.

[@potmej1]

I wonder how those unauthorised battery repairs affect car insurance as there have been a lot of reports of insurers writing off vehicles just due to battery cover damage without even inspecting the batter due to fire risk of damaged batteries.

[@MrSpeedyholm]

Nice review and really good you kind of look at the hardware ( driving, komfort, charging ) and the software. And you do not let the not so ready Xpilot interfere with your judgement of the other things. :-)

[@glennpulford4860]

There a guy in NZ showing a strip down of a BYD Atto3 battery on KZbin, lots of rivets and glue. Looks like it’d be terrible to work on.

[@TheKnutselaar]

Early models had the airco drain on top of the battery, close to that lid, resulting in it to rust

[@benjaminhanke79]

I think those valves are a design flaw. As Bjorn said in a previous video Tesla reduced them in later versions. But in my opinion they shouldn't have made a hole in the the metal at all. Just weakening the material, like the top of an electrolytic capacitor, that it acts as a burst disk.

[@mariueg]

It is for allowing air to expand and contract with temperature. In Norway it can be -40c in winter and supercharging in summer the battery can be 50c+. A better solution was to have a bladder, but rubber also degrades over time.

[@Steror]

It seems like these older Tesla Model S battery packs are relatively easy to repair and maintain. But what about other car brands/manufacturers? Which EVs are easily maintainable/repairable, and which are not? As the used / out of warranty EV market grows, it would be nice to know these things.

[@spankeyfish]

Old Leaf batteries are probably even easier.

[@0-Will-0]

I wouldn't necessarily say "easy". Not all people may have a specalist nearby that can do the work.

[@Iceeeen]

Old teslas is okay but not easy compared to the others, bmw is said to be 100% serviceable. other nissan and Vw group is said to be easy.

[@hhcosminnet]

All ore many of the car makes use battery modules. So even if the actual cells go bad, you could replace one or more modules, and not the whole pack. Using modules also makes it easier to have different size packs, using a certain number of modules, same modules. In this case it was some electronic boards not being waterproof.

[@apekatt2007]

What is the price though?

Car mechanics are going to have to become electro mechanics. I can see it being extremely lucrative to the ones who make the transition.
