Video Summary
Certainly, here is a summary of the YouTube video about the Tesla Model S:- Tesla Model S, an EV that will require a main battery pack replacement as they age and reach the end of their life.
- The Tesla Roadster, released in 2008, is the closest standard of reference for mass sell EVs against which main battery pack aging may be compared or assessed.
- The Tesla Roadster came with only one battery size (53 kwh) and, in 2015, an upgrade of 80 kWh was briefly available.
- The Tesla Model S originally came with a main battery pack as small as 40 kWh to create a low entry price, which gave a low of 139 miles of range.
- Most customers opted for the 60, 70, 75, 85, or 90 kWh packs instead.
- The maximum range Tesla Model S (P100D) was released in the summer of 2016 and was the 100 kWh battery pack, which gave 335 miles on 80% charge and provided a 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds.
- Tesla owners want a larger battery pack for more range and less supercharger downtime when traveling.
- With earlier battery configurations, owners can purchase new 90 kWh packs from Tesla if interested in equipping their vehicle with a fresh battery with higher energy storage capabilities.
- 100 kWh packs cannot be safely inserted into upgrade candidate vehicles that were not originally 100 kWh.
- The effect on airbag deployment and collision dynamics is a big consideration for the maximum size.
- Because of the effect on airbag deployment and collision dynamics, Tesla does not support the upgrade to a 100 kWh battery in a vehicle not originally equipped to receive one.
- The Tesla battery pack replacement can cost $20,000-$23,000.
