@@spacemansam_ that’s crazy, that’s a whopping 90 oil changes over per 5K miles…. & judging by my own accord I get 30 mpg @3.89 a gallon here in Vegas you’d be at 15,000gallons/ $58,000…
Hey dude, I feel for you, I’ve been living in my 2017 Prius for over two years. Get a used 2017 or later Prius, it’s an awesome reliable climate control hotel on wheels. I have a permanent platform bed in the back. No charge anxiety! Stay safe out there bro.
I also own a 2021 Tesla Model Y LR. My HV battery died twice, at 68k miles and 118k miles, both times replaced under warranty. Both times got the same type of error messages you did. It is not the supercharging. Supercharging does not harm your battery. My Tesla was charged only on level 2 at home 99% of the time, never more than 80-90% and I still had problems. You will be given a refurbished battery with a 50k mile warranty, no matter how many miles are on your car (if you have less than 70k you are still covered until 120k). I very much doubt it was caused by your refrigerator or any devices charging, they charge off the 12V system, which is maintained by the HV battery. This is very little stress compared to driving the car. The main thing you want to avoid is prolonged SOC below 20% or above 80%, but that is just for degradation, it shouldn't cause faults. I've heard of many 2021 model year Tesla Model Y's having this issue, it may be an issue specific to the battery used in this year. Now I am saving to have $15k before my car reaches 168k miles, when my warranty runs out. I may just trade it in for a newer model. Other than this issue, great car. Good luck to you.
Other than the HV battery dying twice in 3 years, great car?! You’ve got yourself a big paperweight once the warranty runs out. Guess we’re in the era of disposable cars now.

Mine failed a couple of months ago under warranty. The cool thing is I have a Standard range Model Y and I elected to have Tesla replace the battery with a brand new LFP battery. They also upgraded the suspension because of the additional weight of the battery. With the LFP battery, you can charge it to 100% regularly.
Dont charge LFP to 100% all the time, even the battery guru Jeff Dahn says so. The BMS needs a 100% batt to read the capacity, but the batt does not need or like 100%
That is a fallacy. Degradation is exactly the same as an NMC battery although cycle life is 2x. Charging to 100% is to calibrate BMS because of the flat voltage curve from 50% to 100% so the BMS cant tell actual charge state from simple voltage measurement.
This alert is pretty common on 2020 and 2021s. A quick trick is if you disconnect the low voltage battery and reconnect it, it will reset the alert. The alert is a cell imbalance. Good thing it happened at 113k and not 121k!
Level 2 charge at free ev charging like in my area I'm Washington I could go to ilani or the hotels. Also a app called chargpoint uses level 2 in public spaces like college public over flow parking or local libraries

So you have 630,000 miles. And you spent an average of $10,500 on oil changes..... Average 50 miles per gallon which means 12,500 gallons of fuel purchased at an average of $4 a gallon so you spent $50,400 on fuel..... Then how many brakes have you replaced, spark plugs, air filter , transmission services, coolant services , drive belts..... Exhaust parts.... I mean the list goes on.... I know before I worked on gas vehicle and hybrid and I serviced them all the time for crazy $$$$..... Get a Tesla and never look back
I can’t afford a Tesla thank goodness I love my gas driven Toyota 👍after this video I wouldn’t take a free Tesla thank you for pointing out all the flaws and headaches
Glad it was covered under warranty and they got you a loaner. I'm not sure I would rely on a Tesla for full time car living, maybe consider a Toyota hybrid or plug in hybrid that way you'll have gas backup in case you cannot make it to a charger.
Great warranty and loaner car. You are so blessed. ❤ I sincerely wish you all the very best ahead. You are doing them a great service testing the limits of the Tesla. Think about it.
@@nick0780never had a gas car go less than 300k. My 08 Explorer has 240k & more range on tank than any EV. I can rebuild the engine for $2000 & have 400hp from 300.
@ohane1 Weird, I had a 1993 Explorer XLT and a 2003 Explorer sport that had transmission issues and other lost compression. I'm a retired aircraft mechanic that no longer wants to turn wrenches. I'll rebuild a 2-stroke but that's about it. I do drive hard so maybe that had something to do with it.
@nick0780 I take good care of my cars & rebuild transmissions & race engines. if your tranny failed on the V8, likely you didn't change fluid or towed a lot in heat. My 80 corolla went 380K, nothing but oil changes & clutches. @ 380K I put new bearings in the tranny. No EV today will ever get close to that $/mile maintenance.
@@nick0780 I race too much, nearly every stoplight & regularly hit 120 in the Explorer. Driving "hard" doesn't hurt motors, I think it helps burn off carbon. My 240k mile tranny was "forever fluid" but I change anyway.
The way to avoid all these issues with a Tesla or electric vehicle is just don't buy one ...get a hybrid. Charging is just too much of a hassle and not worth it especially in the winter time
Man I want a Tesla Model 3 Performance so bad but this video worries me. My 2008 Prius 520k+ miles getting 51-54 mpg and will not die. Drives like a new car.
@ You know I agree with you. The more I hear issues with other cars the more I love and appreciate my Prius. My mechanic bought one because of my Prius’s reliability. Get one when you get the chance. You’ll be happy you did!
@@StockMarketShorts good idea. I was one of the first to camp in a Tesla. I bought a 2013 MS back 11 years ago. Froze my butt off in freezing temps bc HVAC would turn off with the car in 15 mins. Tweeted Elon the camp mode suggestion after getting a 2015 P85D MS and he tweeted "Will be in upcoming update." Pretty freaking awesome.
Just traded my 2020 m3p in with 185k on it for another one .Best car I ever had and I had them all . I never had to change the brakes !!!!!Keep getting those oil changes Boys and girls….
I suggest you run a separate battery pack for your fridge and other electronic system outside of the car. Using your car battery 24/7 will have some effect on it... But I think you might have just gotten a weak battery from the start. It happens. I'd be stoke to get a new HV battery right before my warranty expires. Count it as a blessing brother!
He will not get a new battery under warranty. You can bet it will be a used battery also on it's last legs per the terms and conditions, and he will not get his battery warranty extended by even 1 day or 1 mile more. So he will be a world of hurt soon enough.
@@baldpnoy410 Wrong. What I said is 100% correct and you are misinformed. Used batteries are often what insurance will give you, as well as Tesla warranty replacements. They only give new if used is not in stock. Please read terms and conditions before exposing your ignorance on the internet. And used batteries are only 1 year. Where do you get your misinformation??
It's kinda cool that you're able to live in your Tesla and I'm glad you were able to replace the battery under warranty because that would really suck to do it out of pocket. I kind of want to live out of my Tesla just for fun and for the challenge and freedom to go explore other places, but I have a family lol. Not gonna lie, though, if I had a Tesla when I was 20, I would have just lived out of it. You got this, bro! Hopefully with the new battery, you'll just let the battery get down to 50% and let it charge up to 80% from there. I was living in an apartment with my 2021 Model Y Dual Motor Long Range for three years until buying our new home (so now we charge in the garage at night). During the time I was living in the apartment, we would take the car to charge at a supercharger when the battery was like at 30% to 40%. So, hopefully, that didn't degrade our battery. I actually want the battery to last for 500K miles rofl! Love what you're doing and hope you achieve all your aspirations! Be safe and be well!
I find it hard to imagine how economically friendly it is to constantly replace batteries all the time. Is there a battery recycling plant? How much of the battery is actually recycled?
@@keep68 be carefully, you are not guaranteed a brand new pack. You may get a mediocre refurbished pack which might be worse than ur current one if u took care of it. Packs are going 200k plus miles now
I don't think people understand that a gas engine can literally last forever but a battery has a very limited life span. So in reality EVs can only go down in value.
Are we talking engines/motors or fuel? What you just said makes no sense The electric motor can go much farther than the gas engine. I've never heard of a forever fuel engine that actually gets used anything can last forever if it's not used. Now yes fuel sources very different.
@ChezzyDirt dude it makes perfect sense have you seen the batteries on an electric car!? It's crazy expensive to replace maybe you should do some research on what Tesla charges to change the battery! Also the motors are small the batteries are the heart of an ev where the engine is the heart of a combustion. There is a video guy bought a Porsche ev wanted to trade it in the next year to get a 911 and the dealership wouldn't take it!!!! Evs are scam
Lol nothing lasts forever. Engines go all of the time - with or without proper maintenance. Also, virtually all cars that exist go down in value. It's extremely rare for a specific car to go up in value. Only very special cars go up in value.
@googlewolly you are not being honest sir. You really believe that an EV 40 years from now will be a sought after classic....Never going to happen they will be all junked, maybe stripped for parts but most likely they will all end up in a car graveyard.
Holy crap! 50% battery charge just to reach the hiking area for Mount Rainier and “Never Charge your battery to 100%”. Great video ad for not getting an EV. Get yourself a 4Runner Nico! More room to live, get to harder to reach places, half the price of an EV, 500,000+ mile life, etc…..
Glad you’re alright. This was one of my worst fears while I was temporarily living out of my 2022 Model 3 Long Range. As of writing this, I have 129,361 miles that I accumulated in a little over a year traveling the country. Engineering Explained does a good job on talking about battery degradation. One of my “tricks” was to find a hotel or some other place that has level 2 charging on the PlugShare app and act like I’m supposed to be there. So long as you’re quiet and don’t draw too much attention to yourself, it honestly works 99% of the time. But you have to play your cards right - experience with the area you’re in helps a lot. Some of them are known to kill the breaker to their chargers if anything looks fishy outside. Aside from not Supercharging as often, shallow charges seem to help a lot. Obviously you have to balance practicality, but if you can stomach only using between 30-70%, go for it. 20%-80% will yield similar results too.
Notice the error says "Reduced maximum charge level." I just wanted to make this clear for other people watching/reading is that this is not an error due to you hitting some sort of maximum number of DC charges but rather the BMS noticing an error in the battery pack and adjusting the safety maximum limit it has to be very low. The BMS has a sort of failure state it can enter when it thinks that the battery is not functioning correctly. If you hit that state, it is independent of DC fast charge count but rather that some battery measurement was not as expected.
His battery pack died due to degradation. More than likely one or more of his cells is too greatly out of balance. Most likely what happened is he was continually discharging 80-90% of the battery at a time which is why it died
@@overnightclassic2 My point was that degradation alone does not cause that error he saw. It may be something like degradation combined with some cell group being out of balance that triggered it to go past a balancing setpoint, but it is not just degradation. Furthermore 113k miles assuming 225 miles per charge (lesser efficiency + lots of idle usage) is 500 cycles on the battery. Thats not crazy for battery lifetime, and supercharging really is not some insane charging C-rate which is what matters for battery longevity. On youtube there are some teslas with extreme degradation that drive and still can DC fast charge, so it is probably a combination of factors.
@@ErikMeike Once you hit 20% degradation it is the wild west as to whether your battery fails. I'm guessing he got unlucky. There was a tesla on youtube dying at 120K miles within 2 years from uber usage. This is not much different. He had 500 discharge cycles at 90% but he was also running AC. Not suprised if he was closer to 1000 cycles. Combine that with calendar aging from the heat where he lives and it's very possible his battery just died from degradation and cell imbalance
Imagine waiting hours to charge your car in the middle of Chicago where every second you're sitting in your car is a chance of getting mugged or killed.
Imagine being remind to check your battery level, then reminded again about the charging locations, then knowing most charging station have cafe and near mall just to proceed driving on 2% battery, charge in the middle of crime hotspot then complain about potential of getting robbed. Imagine being dumb to the point that we can't no longer be educated.
Nico, I do not want to judge or anything, but it is really sad, to see that in the USA, people have to live in their cars, even if they are honest hard working people. I do hope, that at one point the USA will change for the better. Keep it up, great video, and thank you for sharing your Tesla story.
@@bigbaddmsdon’t be stupid and spend $6000/month on a hotel room. Rent a room in a house from someone for $1000/month max. Please try to hide your stupidity.
I am so in awe of what you are doing. You are to be commended on keeping your cool in the face of potentially dire circumstances. I don’t know what your beliefs are but I, for one, don’t believe in coincidences. That you were not stranded in some isolated place, that your battery turned out to be under warranty in the nick of time and that you were able to get a free loaner for a week strikes me as a true blessing. That Elon let you go and further not calling you back given your obvious talent speaks volumes about him. While he may make a brilliant car, his antics jumping up and down behind donald trump like a kid says to me even geniuses can be utter fools. Stay strong, you are on the path that was intended for you…and a shout out to your parents…clearly they did something right.
For 6 years and 100K miles we have been slow charging our M3 with a regular wall outlet at 10A as much as possible. Dialing down 20% makes plug and outlet cool to the touch zero heat. Surprising the range we gain adds up. 50 miles a night x 350 nights a year = 17,000 miles a year. Supplement with Supercharger when needed. 👍😊
I love my '08 F150. It survived burning man back in 2015 and still going strong. None of the 5.4 issues due to maintenance. OEM spark plugs swap fine for me.
Every Tesla has a 8 year warranty fir HV battery replacement. Not sure about maximum mileage covered for yours. You should check with Tesla. Mine just got replaced for the same issue only at 31k miles.
I would do a full 100% battery charge with the new battery swap to see what the new battery health is (checking how many miles it has at 100%). Hopefully it's a new battery
Woow, one week to replace the battery. That's the future right there. Glad there weren't any companies in the past (Better Place) that replaced batteries automatically in like 10 minutes.
Another tip for your battery, never charge to 100%. If you charge to 80% and discharge to 20%, your battery will literally last twice as long. Glad Tesla told you that fast charging all the time is not good for the battery. Fast charging can also be up to 10 times more expensive than level 2 charging. Take care.
But then your range is only 150 miles by charging from 20-80%. I have a 2023 Tesla Model Y LR and plan on going back to gas such as a Toyota RAV4 plug-in hybrid with over 500 mile range. I'm currently limited by the areas I can travel because of the low range of the Model Y. I recently did a 1,400 mile road trip from northern California to Joshua Tree park and spent about 4 hrs charging on the road in total with 8 stops. I even started from home with 100% charge!!! Long road trips are a pain with all the waiting to charge. I miss the days of 2-5 minute fill-ups with gas. I'm waiting to see if a new redesign is announced for the 2026 Toyota RAV4 plug-in hybrid at the LA Auto show in November. Maybe the Toyota batteries last so long since they are only level 2 charged. Electric cars are fine for daily commuting and around town, but not good for road trips and exploring remote areas. Gas stations are everywhere and you can also carry and extra gas can with you. A 5 gallon gas can would be good for an extra 190 miles at 38mpg on the Toyota RAV4 plug-in.
to be honest, that's why I travel in a Mercedes W201 190D with over 800k miles mileage. But you're right with the charging. It's like with a Smartphone. I don't use the super fast charging brick but rather my desktop to charge it or a 14w charger. It's not fast, takes like 4 hours to charge with my PC and 1.6hours with the 14w brick but I've been using my S23 Ultra since the launch that way and the battery still lasts me for the entire day
Fortunately you got the loaner Tesla to move into. I'm already feeling for you, for when you have to repeat the whole moving process back into your own Tesla. . When your video went back in time to you having the battery problems in your car, I thought it was the loaner car having problems too, and I was thinking just how bad your luck was, but then I realized it was more on the the problems with your car. Good luck to you, and it already seems like good luck that your battery failed just a bit before the warranty expired and you get one for free. If the battery let you travel around for just a bit more,as you know you would have been paying a lot for a replacement.
My 2015 Tesla Model S P85D that I purchased new has the original battery. I'm at 140k miles. Elon said to charge to 90% and plug in all the time back in 2015. I have dual chargers (inverters) in the MS and my HPWC (High Power Wall Connector) charges at 80Amps at 240Volts (19.2kW). My battery degradation was at less than 5% after 100k miles then went up to 8% at 130k miles. I have lowered the charge rate to 80% for the past 6 months. Even though I have free unlimited supercharging for the life of the car, I only supercharged mainly on long trips. My unlimited miles and 8 year warranty for the drivetrain came in useful when the rear drivetrain had to be replaced less than 1 month before the 8 years were up. I noticed a strange noise from the drivetrain that progressively got worse and I took it in to the Tesla SC. I had to pay about $1k for HV cables replacement which I thought would have been covered by the warranty, but apparently not. I have had the anxiety of my Tesla with critical malfunctions. My first MCU1 touchscreen went out in mid Feb in Ohio at 1am. -5 F outside temp, no heat, no A/C and my windshield and windows immediately fogged up. My headlights would not work. Pressing both toggle buttons on the steering wheel did not help nor did the other reset by pushing the top buttons. This caused a catastrophic error and my MS would not even charge at all. Tesla wanted $8k for a new touchscreen. I had the extended warranty but it expired after 100k miles. I took apart the entire dashboard to remove the MCU emmc chip. I sent it to a guy on the west coast who said he may be able to fix it. He couldn't because it was so trashed. Tesla warned me that if I tried to do any repairs, they would not replace the touchscreen. I had to put everthing back together and match the paint on the screws even lol. It took a couple of days for the work to be done and Tesla eventually reimbursed me after I sent a letter to the NTSB. I have a Cybertruck now for 6 months and charge to only 80% and only charge when battery is at 25%. Good luck and be safe!
Smart man! 80% is a good number to charge to Thats what i did but still got the issue Well actually every now n then i would charge to 100% maybe i did it too often? Then again i had a tesla fridge plugged in for 6 weeks non stop before the 12v update
To bad Nio's infrastructure is not in USA... Unfortunately USA will not keep most Americas happy with our week EV infrastructure. USA has a very long road ahead to figure out how the infrastructure will flow. So far, it looks like it's not going well.

Most of these failures ar due to a bad BAttery Management System (BMS), not actual bad batteries. But in any case, you just got a great free upgrade. Newer Tesla batteries seem to use newer/better BMS chips, so you are less likley to have future issues.
@@NicoMurillomy 2021 had exact experience at 85 miles over my 100,000 warranty. After 2 days it decided to charge to 20% but Service mode showed my pack was dead.

The investment landscape is inherently volatile, with periods of both gains and losses. This variability is a natural part of investing and requires a clear strategy and patience to navigate effectively.
That is about when my charging system died. They said the battery was good but the “system” was toast. It cost around $800 to fix. Good luck with Tesla!
Driving to less than 20% does NOT hurt your battery. A soft reset is primarily for screens and nothing to do with charging. An easy big reset is to reset the tire size (read your on line manual) and then back. Your car will do a near total reset and many problems can be cured/cleared.
Dude, sorry to hear this recent turn of events for you. You’ve convinced me not to ever own a Tesla though. Range anxiety and super charging possibly ruining the battery = a no go for me. I’ll stick with my 17 year old hybrid vehicle that has not had any problems to date with the battery.
I can’t believe you paid that off instead of buying a Nissan sv van or the ram small van and building a nice car camper. Gas and oil will always beat electric in the long run.
sounds like the car (Tesla models) chassis is ready, but the main gut (battery technology) isn't at the same level if you had even think about balancing between super charger and level 2 charging for prolong the vehicle. i will give it another decade for electric vehicles to become true roadsters without any worries beyond the regular maintenance and occassional break downs like today's ICEVs
Man good thing that battery failed before the 120K mark, that's when the warranty would end, at that point I think you gonna need to pay for that HV battery replacement 😅. But like someone says in the comment, fast charging (DC) doesn't seem to be damaging the HV, as long as you don't charge to 100% all the time and let it sit with 100% for a long time. I've met someone with a 2020 Model 3 with 170k miles and dude uses supercharger 90% of the time lol, but his HV still running fresh with 86% battery health. So I guess you're just out of luck with your HV. Glad you're not in the middle of nowhere like you said. Goodluck with the next adventure man!

I also own a 2021 Tesla Model Y LR. My HV battery died twice, at 68k miles and 118k miles, both times replaced under warranty. Both times got the same type of error messages you did. It is not the supercharging. Supercharging does not harm your battery. My Tesla was charged only on level 2 at home 99% of the time, never more than 80-90% and I still had problems. You will be given a refurbished battery with a 50k mile warranty, no matter how many miles are on your car (if you have less than 70k you are still covered until 120k). I very much doubt it was caused by your refrigerator or any devices charging, they charge off the 12V system, which is maintained by the HV battery. This is very little stress compared to driving the car. The main thing you want to avoid is prolonged SOC below 20% or above 80%, but that is just for degradation, it shouldn't cause faults. I've heard of many 2021 model year Tesla Model Y's having this issue, it may be an issue specific to the battery used in this year. Now I am saving to have $15k before my car reaches 168k miles, when my warranty runs out. I may just trade it in for a newer model. Other than this issue, great car. Good luck to you.

@@baldpnoy410 Are you stupid?
Dont charge LFP to 100% all the time, even the battery guru Jeff Dahn says so. The BMS needs a 100% batt to read the capacity, but the batt does not need or like 100%
Interesting option. I have a 2021 model y sr too. The range is already terrible on it. Is it better with the lfp?
That is a fallacy. Degradation is exactly the same as an NMC battery although cycle life is 2x. Charging to 100% is to calibrate BMS because of the flat voltage curve from 50% to 100% so the BMS cant tell actual charge state from simple voltage measurement.
This alert is pretty common on 2020 and 2021s. A quick trick is if you disconnect the low voltage battery and reconnect it, it will reset the alert. The alert is a cell imbalance. Good thing it happened at 113k and not 121k!
Does warranty run out at 120k? I’m not clear why the 121k mileage is significant
@@watching2341 Sorry, meant 120k!

So you have 630,000 miles. And you spent an average of $10,500 on oil changes..... Average 50 miles per gallon which means 12,500 gallons of fuel purchased at an average of $4 a gallon so you spent $50,400 on fuel..... Then how many brakes have you replaced, spark plugs, air filter , transmission services, coolant services , drive belts..... Exhaust parts.... I mean the list goes on....

Never buy a tesla
@cfomusic73 lol, same here! I’m on my third Tesla. FSD alone is priceless if you have any commute-time is a priceless commodity.

nice I own a Toyota fj cruiser what do you have?
Gotta respect the grind. You've earned a sub! Be safe out there
Glad it was covered under warranty and they got you a loaner. I'm not sure I would rely on a Tesla for full time car living, maybe consider a Toyota hybrid or plug in hybrid that way you'll have gas backup in case you cannot make it to a charger.
Great warranty and loaner car. You are so blessed. ❤ I sincerely wish you all the very best ahead. You are doing them a great service testing the limits of the Tesla. Think about it.
Thanks so much! Yeah im giving them good data
Tesla is continuing the American car tradition of not being able to last more than 100K miles.
Weird, my Model S is the only car I got to 170k miles after 40 years of driving.
@@nick0780never had a gas car go less than 300k. My 08 Explorer has 240k & more range on tank than any EV.
I can rebuild the engine for $2000 & have 400hp from 300.
@ohane1 Weird, I had a 1993 Explorer XLT and a 2003 Explorer sport that had transmission issues and other lost compression. I'm a retired aircraft mechanic that no longer wants to turn wrenches. I'll rebuild a 2-stroke but that's about it. I do drive hard so maybe that had something to do with it.
@nick0780 I take good care of my cars & rebuild transmissions & race engines. if your tranny failed on the V8, likely you didn't change fluid or towed a lot in heat. My 80 corolla went 380K, nothing but oil changes & clutches. @ 380K I put new bearings in the tranny. No EV today will ever get close to that $/mile maintenance.
@@nick0780 I race too much, nearly every stoplight & regularly hit 120 in the Explorer. Driving "hard" doesn't hurt motors, I think it helps burn off carbon. My 240k mile tranny was "forever fluid" but I change anyway.
The way to avoid all these issues with a Tesla or electric vehicle is just don't buy one ...get a hybrid. Charging is just too much of a hassle and not worth it especially in the winter time
Hybrids are just as gay get an actual gas vehicle and it'll last forever

I suggest you run a separate battery pack for your fridge and other electronic system outside of the car. Using your car battery 24/7 will have some effect on it... But I think you might have just gotten a weak battery from the start. It happens.
I'd be stoke to get a new HV battery right before my warranty expires. Count it as a blessing brother!
Right! Yeah it honestly might have been me using the fridge 24/7 for 6 weeks nonstop
He will not get a new battery under warranty. You can bet it will be a used battery also on it's last legs per the terms and conditions, and he will not get his battery warranty extended by even 1 day or 1 mile more. So he will be a world of hurt soon enough.
@@JetFire9I disagree
@@JetFire9 Wrong... I know some people got new battery replacement.... Tesla also gives you a 4yr/50k warranty on refurbished units.
@@baldpnoy410 Wrong. What I said is 100% correct and you are misinformed. Used batteries are often what insurance will give you, as well as Tesla warranty replacements. They only give new if used is not in stock. Please read terms and conditions before exposing your ignorance on the internet. And used batteries are only 1 year. Where do you get your misinformation??
It's kinda cool that you're able to live in your Tesla and I'm glad you were able to replace the battery under warranty because that would really suck to do it out of pocket. I kind of want to live out of my Tesla just for fun and for the challenge and freedom to go explore other places, but I have a family lol. Not gonna lie, though, if I had a Tesla when I was 20, I would have just lived out of it.
You got this, bro! Hopefully with the new battery, you'll just let the battery get down to 50% and let it charge up to 80% from there. I was living in an apartment with my 2021 Model Y Dual Motor Long Range for three years until buying our new home (so now we charge in the garage at night). During the time I was living in the apartment, we would take the car to charge at a supercharger when the battery was like at 30% to 40%. So, hopefully, that didn't degrade our battery. I actually want the battery to last for 500K miles rofl!
Love what you're doing and hope you achieve all your aspirations!
Be safe and be well!
I find it hard to imagine how economically friendly it is to constantly replace batteries all the time. Is there a battery recycling plant? How much of the battery is actually recycled?
It will all work out brother ! Safe travels
I will purposely supercharge only with 40k miles left on my warranty so that I can get new a new battery.
HAHAHHAHA thats actually a good strategy dont tell anyone about it
@@keep68 be carefully, you are not guaranteed a brand new pack. You may get a mediocre refurbished pack which might be worse than ur current one if u took care of it. Packs are going 200k plus miles now
I don't think people understand that a gas engine can literally last forever but a battery has a very limited life span. So in reality EVs can only go down in value.
Are we talking engines/motors or fuel? What you just said makes no sense The electric motor can go much farther than the gas engine. I've never heard of a forever fuel engine that actually gets used anything can last forever if it's not used.
Now yes fuel sources very different.
@ChezzyDirt dude it makes perfect sense have you seen the batteries on an electric car!? It's crazy expensive to replace maybe you should do some research on what Tesla charges to change the battery! Also the motors are small the batteries are the heart of an ev where the engine is the heart of a combustion. There is a video guy bought a Porsche ev wanted to trade it in the next year to get a 911 and the dealership wouldn't take it!!!! Evs are scam
@ChezzyDirt the car as a whole
Lol nothing lasts forever. Engines go all of the time - with or without proper maintenance. Also, virtually all cars that exist go down in value. It's extremely rare for a specific car to go up in value. Only very special cars go up in value.
@googlewolly you are not being honest sir. You really believe that an EV 40 years from now will be a sought after classic....Never going to happen they will be all junked, maybe stripped for parts but most likely they will all end up in a car graveyard.
Holy crap! 50% battery charge just to reach the hiking area for Mount Rainier and “Never Charge your battery to 100%”. Great video ad for not getting an EV. Get yourself a 4Runner Nico! More room to live, get to harder to reach places, half the price of an EV, 500,000+ mile life, etc…..
Fuuck off idiiot you make zero sense. How many gas cars brokle down today?

Glad you’re alright. This was one of my worst fears while I was temporarily living out of my 2022 Model 3 Long Range. As of writing this, I have 129,361 miles that I accumulated in a little over a year traveling the country.
Engineering Explained does a good job on talking about battery degradation.
One of my “tricks” was to find a hotel or some other place that has level 2 charging on the PlugShare app and act like I’m supposed to be there. So long as you’re quiet and don’t draw too much attention to yourself, it honestly works 99% of the time. But you have to play your cards right - experience with the area you’re in helps a lot. Some of them are known to kill the breaker to their chargers if anything looks fishy outside.
Aside from not Supercharging as often, shallow charges seem to help a lot. Obviously you have to balance practicality, but if you can stomach only using between 30-70%, go for it. 20%-80% will yield similar results too.
Thanks fir this yea plugshare is my best friend!!!
Thx for visiting WA. Despite your battery experience, I hope you enjoy the scenery.
Notice the error says "Reduced maximum charge level." I just wanted to make this clear for other people watching/reading is that this is not an error due to you hitting some sort of maximum number of DC charges but rather the BMS noticing an error in the battery pack and adjusting the safety maximum limit it has to be very low. The BMS has a sort of failure state it can enter when it thinks that the battery is not functioning correctly. If you hit that state, it is independent of DC fast charge count but rather that some battery measurement was not as expected.
His battery pack died due to degradation. More than likely one or more of his cells is too greatly out of balance. Most likely what happened is he was continually discharging 80-90% of the battery at a time which is why it died
@@overnightclassic2 My point was that degradation alone does not cause that error he saw. It may be something like degradation combined with some cell group being out of balance that triggered it to go past a balancing setpoint, but it is not just degradation. Furthermore 113k miles assuming 225 miles per charge (lesser efficiency + lots of idle usage) is 500 cycles on the battery. Thats not crazy for battery lifetime, and supercharging really is not some insane charging C-rate which is what matters for battery longevity. On youtube there are some teslas with extreme degradation that drive and still can DC fast charge, so it is probably a combination of factors.
I'm happy that Nico was able to get it fixed though and Tesla followed through on their warranty and that Nico can continue on his fun adventures.
Shit battery in a dodgy car that's the truth !
@@ErikMeike Once you hit 20% degradation it is the wild west as to whether your battery fails. I'm guessing he got unlucky. There was a tesla on youtube dying at 120K miles within 2 years from uber usage. This is not much different.
He had 500 discharge cycles at 90% but he was also running AC. Not suprised if he was closer to 1000 cycles. Combine that with calendar aging from the heat where he lives and it's very possible his battery just died from degradation and cell imbalance
Imagine waiting hours to charge your car in the middle of Chicago where every second you're sitting in your car is a chance of getting mugged or killed.
Ooh theres a product coming soon on the channel for this! They sent it to me and ima do a video for n it!
Imagine being remind to check your battery level, then reminded again about the charging locations, then knowing most charging station have cafe and near mall just to proceed driving on 2% battery, charge in the middle of crime hotspot then complain about potential of getting robbed. Imagine being dumb to the point that we can't no longer be educated.

Reason why i would never buy a electric car. The battery pack cost way too much to fix.
Tesla is replacing his battery under warranty.
@jimmurphy5355 "under warranty" is the key word. Once you're out of warranty, then what? Most people cannot afford a new car every 5 years.
@ the battery warranty for Tesla’s is 8 years or 120,000 miles.
My warranty ran out then my battery failed. Had many problems costing well over 20 k to fix. Never buying an EV ever again.
What brand/model EV? How many miles? How many years old?
Pray everyday is better than the last. You’ll be ok
I am so in awe of what you are doing. You are to be commended on keeping your cool in the face of potentially dire circumstances. I don’t know what your beliefs are but I, for one, don’t believe in coincidences. That you were not stranded in some isolated place, that your battery turned out to be under warranty in the nick of time and that you were able to get a free loaner for a week strikes me as a true blessing. That Elon let you go and further not calling you back given your obvious talent speaks volumes about him. While he may make a brilliant car, his antics jumping up and down behind donald trump like a kid says to me even geniuses can be utter fools. Stay strong, you are on the path that was intended for you…and a shout out to your parents…clearly they did something right.

For 6 years and 100K miles we have been slow charging our M3 with a regular wall outlet at 10A as much as possible. Dialing down 20% makes plug and outlet cool to the touch zero heat. Surprising the range we gain adds up. 50 miles a night x 350 nights a year = 17,000 miles a year. Supplement with Supercharger when needed. 👍😊
Same, no issues
I am doing the same thing but 8A.

Sorry for your troubles.... But I 😅 🤣 all through this video. It was really funny.
Every Tesla has a 8 year warranty fir HV battery replacement. Not sure about maximum mileage covered for yours. You should check with Tesla. Mine just got replaced for the same issue only at 31k miles.
What year ?

Yooo thanks Peter!!! I appreciate the donation! 🙏🙏🙏
I would do a full 100% battery charge with the new battery swap to see what the new battery health is (checking how many miles it has at 100%). Hopefully it's a new battery
Woow, one week to replace the battery. That's the future right there. Glad there weren't any companies in the past (Better Place) that replaced batteries automatically in like 10 minutes.
Another tip for your battery, never charge to 100%. If you charge to 80% and discharge to 20%, your battery will literally last twice as long. Glad Tesla told you that fast charging all the time is not good for the battery. Fast charging can also be up to 10 times more expensive than level 2 charging. Take care.
Exactly i just read an article on forbes that said superchargers constantly is bad for the battery as it increases degradation
Level 2 chargers are better for the battery health
But then your range is only 150 miles by charging from 20-80%. I have a 2023 Tesla Model Y LR and plan on going back to gas such as a Toyota RAV4 plug-in hybrid with over 500 mile range. I'm currently limited by the areas I can travel because of the low range of the Model Y. I recently did a 1,400 mile road trip from northern California to Joshua Tree park and spent about 4 hrs charging on the road in total with 8 stops. I even started from home with 100% charge!!! Long road trips are a pain with all the waiting to charge. I miss the days of 2-5 minute fill-ups with gas. I'm waiting to see if a new redesign is announced for the 2026 Toyota RAV4 plug-in hybrid at the LA Auto show in November. Maybe the Toyota batteries last so long since they are only level 2 charged. Electric cars are fine for daily commuting and around town, but not good for road trips and exploring remote areas. Gas stations are everywhere and you can also carry and extra gas can with you. A 5 gallon gas can would be good for an extra 190 miles at 38mpg on the Toyota RAV4 plug-in.
@@NicoMurillo If you worked for Tesla as a production manager why did you not know this?
to be honest, that's why I travel in a Mercedes W201 190D with over 800k miles mileage. But you're right with the charging. It's like with a Smartphone. I don't use the super fast charging brick but rather my desktop to charge it or a 14w charger. It's not fast, takes like 4 hours to charge with my PC and 1.6hours with the 14w brick but I've been using my S23 Ultra since the launch that way and the battery still lasts me for the entire day
Fortunately you got the loaner Tesla to move into. I'm already feeling for you, for when you have to repeat the whole moving process back into your own Tesla. . When your video went back in time to you having the battery problems in your car, I thought it was the loaner car having problems too, and I was thinking just how bad your luck was, but then I realized it was more on the the problems with your car. Good luck to you, and it already seems like good luck that your battery failed just a bit before the warranty expired and you get one for free. If the battery let you travel around for just a bit more,as you know you would have been paying a lot for a replacement.
Oh how fun it will be to move EVERYTHING BACK
what would be more interesting if it has more problems and i gotta do it again 🤣
@@NicoMurillo , hopefully any future problems will be far from now and few to deal with.
My 2015 Tesla Model S P85D that I purchased new has the original battery. I'm at 140k miles. Elon said to charge to 90% and plug in all the time back in 2015.
I have dual chargers (inverters) in the MS and my HPWC (High Power Wall Connector) charges at 80Amps at 240Volts (19.2kW). My battery degradation was at less than 5% after 100k miles then went up to 8% at 130k miles. I have lowered the charge rate to 80% for the past 6 months. Even though I have free unlimited supercharging for the life of the car, I only supercharged mainly on long trips.
My unlimited miles and 8 year warranty for the drivetrain came in useful when the rear drivetrain had to be replaced less than 1 month before the 8 years were up. I noticed a strange noise from the drivetrain that progressively got worse and I took it in to the Tesla SC. I had to pay about $1k for HV cables replacement which I thought would have been covered by the warranty, but apparently not.
I have had the anxiety of my Tesla with critical malfunctions. My first MCU1 touchscreen went out in mid Feb in Ohio at 1am. -5 F outside temp, no heat, no A/C and my windshield and windows immediately fogged up. My headlights would not work. Pressing both toggle buttons on the steering wheel did not help nor did the other reset by pushing the top buttons. This caused a catastrophic error and my MS would not even charge at all. Tesla wanted $8k for a new touchscreen. I had the extended warranty but it expired after 100k miles.
I took apart the entire dashboard to remove the MCU emmc chip. I sent it to a guy on the west coast who said he may be able to fix it. He couldn't because it was so trashed. Tesla warned me that if I tried to do any repairs, they would not replace the touchscreen. I had to put everthing back together and match the paint on the screws even lol. It took a couple of days for the work to be done and Tesla eventually reimbursed me after I sent a letter to the NTSB. I have a Cybertruck now for 6 months and charge to only 80% and only charge when battery is at 25%. Good luck and be safe!
Smart man! 80% is a good number to charge to
Thats what i did but still got the issue
Well actually every now n then i would charge to 100% maybe i did it too often?
Then again i had a tesla fridge plugged in for 6 weeks non stop before the 12v update
I keep charge between 30-70 percent and super charging only on road trips

Most of these failures ar due to a bad BAttery Management System (BMS), not actual bad batteries. But in any case, you just got a great free upgrade. Newer Tesla batteries seem to use newer/better BMS chips, so you are less likley to have future issues.
Yeahhhh its my fault

The investment landscape is inherently volatile, with periods of both gains and losses. This variability is a natural part of investing and requires a clear strategy and patience to navigate effectively.
That is about when my charging system died. They said the battery was good but the “system” was toast. It cost around $800 to fix. Good luck with Tesla!
Ohh no sorry to hear that
This is why I will never buy an electric
Driving to less than 20% does NOT hurt your battery. A soft reset is primarily for screens and nothing to do with charging. An easy big reset is to reset the tire size (read your on line manual) and then back. Your car will do a near total reset and many problems can be cured/cleared.
So it’s not just the 12volt that needs replaced typical at 100 thousand miles?

Dude, sorry to hear this recent turn of events for you. You’ve convinced me not to ever own a Tesla though. Range anxiety and super charging possibly ruining the battery = a no go for me. I’ll stick with my 17 year old hybrid vehicle that has not had any problems to date with the battery.
You plan to sleep in your car too like him?
Your hybrid car can be a house and save gasoline money in the mean time?
My 2007 toyota 4runner 250,000 miles and still running strong.
sheesh sounds fun!
Go 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid AWD Sport L. 450 mile range bro. You can drive all over in comfort and safety and film your videos.
My VW went 289k miles, but it's my fault it didn't go longer. I did a mid towards the end of its life and it just broke my car
I can’t believe you paid that off instead of buying a Nissan sv van or the ram small van and building a nice car camper. Gas and oil will always beat electric in the long run.
@TaylorBoldt-lq9fw my words exactly.
Battery warranty ends at 120k miles I believe! So as bad as it is it could have died right after wareanty
Thats so true im so close it too
sounds like the car (Tesla models) chassis is ready, but the main gut (battery technology) isn't at the same level if you had even think about balancing between super charger and level 2 charging for prolong the vehicle. i will give it another decade for electric vehicles to become true roadsters without any worries beyond the regular maintenance and occassional break downs like today's ICEVs
Man good thing that battery failed before the 120K mark, that's when the warranty would end, at that point I think you gonna need to pay for that HV battery replacement 😅. But like someone says in the comment, fast charging (DC) doesn't seem to be damaging the HV, as long as you don't charge to 100% all the time and let it sit with 100% for a long time. I've met someone with a 2020 Model 3 with 170k miles and dude uses supercharger 90% of the time lol, but his HV still running fresh with 86% battery health. So I guess you're just out of luck with your HV. Glad you're not in the middle of nowhere like you said. Goodluck with the next adventure man!
Bro u still working at GNC or you just chillin now in ur Tesla?
UA-cam full time now brother
@@NicoMurillo That’s cool, don’t you get lonely bro? You need to find a babe to travel with. Oh wait she won’t fit in the Tesla with all her crap ! 🤣
If it’s not the 12 V, I think it’s the fridge you have in the car running off the battery
U may be right
I was running that fridge 24/7 for 6 weeks non stop
@@NicoMurillobro cmon now lol
the fridge runs off of the low voltage system and his HV is what crapped out. the fridge isnt the reason
@@James-cq9dp low voltage is connected to the high voltage. Made me think of the bone song lol. Head bone is connected to the neck bone lol Anatomy class hates this song lol 😂 and if that fridges is draining the low voltage constantly it feeds from the high voltage no?
How is 113,000 miles still under warranty?
120k is warranty
My used tesla is only up to 100k
Nico, do you know what the cost would have been to replace the battery system if you didn't have the warranty?
I was reading like $10k-$15k
How long is the warranty?
@@ericmed 8yrs 100k-150k miles... Depending on the model you get.
You worked at tesla and your know Living in your car...... great job !
For anyone with same BMS unable to charge issue. You can reset BMS controller by disconnecting the 12V cable underneath the rear seat.
Then Charge it up to drive to Service Center/ wherever you need to go.
You can run the risk of getting electrocuted
Please do not do this
Do not unplug things you do not understand
@@NicoMurillo as long as you don't touch the main battery HV (high voltage) cables, that are bright orange, you should be fine. We're talking about the 12V low voltage lead acid battery, which is standard on every car even Tesla, so no need to be paranoid...
My neighbor has a Toyota that recharges from braking , he never has to do anything 😊
That barley charges the car lol
you stealth camp? get a Honda Element. you LOOOVVEE IT.
I do stealth camp! Ive been wanting to make a bed build similar to those in the elements
Single bed with the pull out accordion drawers
Best video yet when Mrs Murillo showing in a feature lols 😅best Netflix show ever
Toyota now!
At least it's got a big fancy TV screen, you could watch UA-cam until the battery runs out 😂😂😂
Lol. No pity for buying that farce. EV is d00-d00 😂
