The original Lithium Ion Roadster ESS (Energy Storage System) Battery Packs are 10-12 years old.
As first generation Roadsters continue to age, we are seeing a huge uptick and interest in our ESS battery pack recovery services. Roadsters easily reach a dangerous battery state called a bricked condition if the charge routine is disrupted for a length of time, and the result is a battery that can no longer be charged through the charge port, rendering it dead or bricked.
The main battery pack in the bowels of a Roadster is a 900+ lb monster, consisting of 6,831 Lithium Ion 18650 cells, mounted in 11 sheets.
Tesla Roadsters will all need a replacement ESS Main Battery at some point. Many Roadster legacy packs are still functioning from cars released starting in 2008, and all will eventually be due for replacement as they go end of life. In the meantime, Tesla is reserving eligibility for purchasing the upgrade ESS Battery Packs for…
