Many people hesitate between electric vehicles and fuel vehicles because they do not have a clear understanding of the life of electric vehicle batteries. Through various news reports, they have high concerns about the cost of replacing batteries for electric vehicle . Recently, an Tesla owner exposed the sky-high repair costs incurred by battery failure repairing vehicles.
The owner of Mario Zelaya is from Canada. He posted a video on the short video platform TikTok, saying that he was locked outside the model S car and towed the vehicle to Tesla's testing service station, the staff told him that there was a problem with the vehicle's power battery, and to solve this problem, he had to spend another 20,000 US dollars, which is about 140,000 yuan.
Mario Seraya called for Tesla to solve the problem in the video, and claimed that after the battery failure, he was unable to even obtain the items in the car to sell the car. The words in the video were quite fierce.
It is understood that Mario Seraya bought the new modelS for $140,000 in 2013, and he also posted in the video that the $20,000 repair cost offered by Tesla evaluators. According to Tesla CEO Musk, the modelS battery has a design life of 300,000 to 500,000 miles, and it only needs to be replaced in about 21-25 years. However, in fact, the car only drove 77,000 miles and lasted for 9 years.
Mario Seraya also sent the vehicle to the regulatory agency and inspected the battery part. The technician told him that the battery had been severely rusted because the drain pipe of the car's air conditioning device failed, causing water leakage to the battery unit.
In the end, Mario Seraya spent $30 to pry open the car door, took away the documents and items that belonged to him in the car, and sold the Tesla modelS that had been with him for 9 years.
