So you read it right. High voltage battery needs to be replaced with only 12k miles. I asked my SC how often this happens and they said atleast a CT every month and other teslas about 10-15 but they do sell close to 2100 cars a month.

jw has this happend to anyone else and if so any problems after

Awe look you’re a 1%’r, congrats!

is a bummer but obviously you’re covered. I think there may have been a bad batch of batteries recently but I am not sure.

And I beat you Wilson, I ordered my CT on 4/15/26, it came from factory with a BAD HV Battery. So I couldn’t even receive it. After waiting 3 weeks to see what was Tesla going to do. I was able to Re-Order another CT that I ended up getting 6/30/26.

I'd consider it a blessing, since there is a good chance you get newer version cells and 12K of usage is essentially erased from your degradation.

I had a replacement on my m3p with about 45k miles. It took 3 days and range was near new when I bought it.

Shit happens sometimes - I can't say I've seen too many people having this issue. Hopefully they get your CT fixed up quickly.

That's a glass is half full kind of attitude. :LOL:

Add me to the list today at under 5000 miles.

As a bonus, in a family neighborhood I got an orangish haired Hyundai driver giving a finger in my rearview mirror. As is my habit, I paused longer and put down my window and gave an overly friendly wave. Poor lady looked embarrassed.

Did you drop it off at the SC yet? Did they atleast give you a loaner?
