Recently, a Canadian Tesla Model S owner exposed his vehicle problems online. He said that the vehicle was locked in the parking space due to power loss and had no response after charging. He could not even obtain the ownership documents in the car to sell it.

After consultation, relevant personnel said that solving the problem of the vehicle requires replacement of the battery pack, which is as high as US$20,000 (about RMB 140,000). The owner also brought the Model S to relevant regulatory agencies in Canada for consultation. The technician told him that the battery was rusted. The drain pipe of the car's air conditioning configuration is located above the battery box, and it is constantly leaking to the unit~

Edit

Canadian car owners were very angry about this and called on everyone to "stay away from it" online. The owner bought the brand new Model for US$140,000 in 2013 in 2013. S, The vehicle has been running for more than 77,000 miles and was told to replace the battery. One of the reasons why the owner was angry was that Tesla CEO Musk once said: "Tesla's battery design life is 300,000 to 500,000 miles, and it will not need to be replaced in about 21 to 25 years!"

Tesla ModelS vehicle warranty is 4 years or 80,000 kilometers, and the battery pack warranty period is 8 years or 160,000 kilometers. The battery pack does not need any maintenance during use. If there are quality problems, Tesla will directly adopt the replacement method. has been purchased in 2013 for nearly 9 years, exceeding the warranty period, so the maintenance cost is relatively high, and the continuous leakage of the battery to the unit may be due to human factors that cause battery damage, which is not the cause of the vehicle!

Also last year, a Tesla Model S owner from Finland had frequent problems due to vehicle problems. Tesla maintenance personnel told him that the Model S needed to replace the battery pack, with a total cost of 20,000 euros (about 143,800 yuan). Moreover, the vehicle has been in operation for 8 years and has long exceeded the warranty period. The owner needs to bear the high maintenance costs themselves!

Edit

In fact, Tesla's Model S is priced at one million yuan, and the battery repair cost is 140,000 yuan. Overall, it is not too outrageous because the Model price is around 300,000 yuan. 3/Y battery replacement cost is close to 100,000 yuan. Under normal circumstances, if there is no accident, the battery will bump, and it is not for normal civilian use. Tesla owners generally do not need to replace the battery if they have been driving for ten or eight years!

In the new energy electric vehicle circle, the sky-high maintenance fee for batteries is not the only one. Such examples are everywhere. For example, it was revealed that an accident occurred in a certain brand of electric vehicles in August this year, and the entire vehicle was not damaged much, but because the chassis was hit, the battery panel was sunken. The brand's after-sales service proposed a replacement and repair plan. The battery pack repair price was as high as 540,000 yuan, but the purchase price of the car was only more than 200,000 yuan.

The battery of electric vehicles is the "heart" of the entire car. It is the bottleneck of the entire new energy vehicle industry. The reason why battery replacement requires high maintenance costs is that is mainly because of the difficulty of battery repair, the high cost of battery materials, the high cost of battery repair personnel, etc.

In recent years, the price of battery raw materials has risen sharply, the price is very high, and the battery cost is getting higher and higher. In addition, the battery has multiple problems such as complex system integration, difficult disassembly, and difficult detection. The overall requirements of have high requirements for maintenance personnel, so compared with traditional fuel vehicles, there is a very shortage of new energy vehicle maintenance talents~

Edit

In addition, Tesla cars all use integrated die-casting bodies, which are difficult to repair when colliding. In severe cases, they can only be replaced by the entire vehicle. If the body is damaged and the battery is damaged, the repair cost will be higher. But the key is that many new energy vehicle companies are also beginning to follow up on integrated molding technology in the camp. For car companies, integrated die-casting technology can improve car manufacturing efficiency and greatly reduce car manufacturing costs. Except for the shortcomings of high maintenance costs, everything else is an advantage. Why don’t car companies do it?

For this reason, in the future, it is not just Tesla. If some mainstream brands of new energy electric vehicles adopt integrated die-casting technology, the maintenance costs will remain high. In addition, due to the brand's closed ecosystem, it is difficult for third parties to provide more cost-effective maintenance services.

Fortunately, Tesla had launched a set of "subscription services" in August 2021. This subscription service includes a "service and repair" information package. Car owners can read this information package to help all car owners review and use repair manuals, tools, wiring diagrams and other related documents. This year, this "service and repair" information package has been opened to car owners for free. Third parties can not only improve Tesla's repair services, but ordinary car owners can also try to repair their own vehicles at no cost!
