As weird as it may seem, Tesla has been secretly selling its updated Model S sedan with a 70 kWh battery that becomes a 75 kWh battery after you pay them to unlock your hardware with an over-the-air software update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you bought a Model S with a 70 kWh battery and a 240-mile range (386km), you can pay Tesla a bit over $3,000 to unlock the hardware already in your car with a software update. The upgrade will give you an extra 19 miles (31km) range with an additional 5 kWh of battery storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m sure that you&#8217;re used to the upgrades of traditional cars, adding physical bits for better looks or more horsepower\u2014maybe a turbocharger or a modified exhaust system. Having to pay for something that\u2019s already in your car can feel weird, but Tesla is known for experimenting with new ways of doing business in the car world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Tesla promises to swap the Model S70 badge on your car with a Model S75 badge next time you visit a Tesla Service Station. However, both models have the same battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If you&#8217;d like to find out more about this topic, check out this article that I wrote called: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.evspeedy.com\/upgrade-range-tesla\">Can You Upgrade the Range on a Tesla?<\/a>&#8221; This will give you some further insight!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Lifespan of Tesla Batteries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you&#8217;d expect with any lithium-ion battery, you&#8217;ll have to replace it after its retaining capacity starts to fall significantly.

Teslas use four or five battery modules, meaning that a complete battery replacement would cost between $20k and $35k.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.findmyelectric.com\/blog\/tesla-battery-replacement-cost-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Other findings show<\/a> that replacing Model S&#8217;s battery would cost somewhere between $12k and $15k. However, these costs don&#8217;t include additional replacement costs and labor costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla battery replacement takes 3-13 hours, with the labor cost at the Tesla Service Station being about $200 an hour. The math puts the cheapest Tesla battery replacement cost around $13-$14k, assuming replacement parts cost between $20 and $200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Cost of Replacing Model S Battery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Too much mathematics?

Honestly, Tesla doesn&#8217;t maintain a repair and replacement guide, and you shouldn&#8217;t expect its parts prices list to be an open book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of the information out there is based on the bills a few Tesla owners willingly produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em><strong>Random Fun Fact:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The batteries of Tesla Models S and X have been using <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/332702\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-teslas-lithium-ion-batteries\/#:~:text=Tesla%20has%20been%20using%2018650,diameter%20and%2065%20mm%20tall.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">18650 cells made by Panasonic<\/a> since 2013.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replacing Individual Battery Modules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla batteries consist of 4 or 5 modules. The automaker&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/tesla-info.com\/guide\/tesla-bms-calibration.php#:~:text=The%20Tesla%20Battery%20Management%20System,can%20drive%20the%20car%20for.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Battery Management System <\/a>is quick to detect malfunctions in the battery pack. If a module does not match capacity with the rest of the modules in the pack, the system will detect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the battery management system won\u2019t leave you stranded. It will limit your battery&#8217;s range before rendering your car undrivable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;d suppose replacing a failed battery module would be a quick fix. But as Jason Hughes, a Tesla and EV expert, <a href=\"https:\/\/carbuzz.com\/news\/replacing-tesla-model-s-battery-isnt-a-viable-long-term-solution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports on CarBuzz<\/a>, this may not be a viable solution. According to Hughes, his battery pack operated well after the module replacement but began to lose range after five charging cycles. After a month, his battery only retained about 20% range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other Tesla experts, like Pete Gruber, the CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/grubermotors.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gruber Motors<\/a>, disagreed with Hughes&#8217; claims. I would also disagree with him for an important reason: He took his car to an independent repair shop instead of a Tesla Service Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there are independent repair shops out there promising the heavens with cheap Tesla battery repairs, I&#8217;d recommend you stick to what Tesla recommends with battery repairs and replacements. If you notice your battery ranging abnormally, schedule an appointment with your nearest Tesla service station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tesla Battery Swap System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2014, Tesla rolled out a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesla.com\/blog\/battery-swap-pilot-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">battery swap pilot program<\/a>, which, if operationalized, would have helped Model S owners needing battery charge to swap their low-charge batteries with fully charged ones at supercharging stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla touted the program as a swift alternative to the DC supercharging. It would take about 90 seconds to <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/06\/20\/tesla-shows-off-a-90-second-battery-swap-system-wants-it-at-supercharging-stations-by-years-end\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">swap a Model S battery<\/a>, and motorists won&#8217;t even have to get out of their cars. Ninety seconds is less than it would take to fill up the tank of your gas-powered car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Tesla eventually put up only one battery-swapping station in California, which remains defunct. Although there are reports of plans to have the same program in China, Tesla has quickly denied the claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a Youtube video showing Tesla&#8217;s battery swap program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Closeup of Tesla Battery Swap (HD)\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HlaQuKk9bFg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let me clarify: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla&#8217;s battery swap isn&#8217;t the same as a replacement.
