We need Gruber everywhere you find Tesla. These cars are just starting to go out of warranty and we're going to see more and more of these in the near future.
Absolutely agree . The UK government is too slow in anticipating the future . Also , their priority should be to install the infrastructure for charging stations .
Love that you can change bad cells and don't need to change the entire battery pack for 20k. Thats how I used to do it with my prius years ago at a shop.
Great work!! Although I doubt a 60 is going to sell for 30K, more likely low to mid 20s, but still a great profit. Good to know this service is available!
I still prefer this Model S over any of the newer ones. Bigger body and bulkier look versus the newer Yoshi Super Mario Bros type look🤣 way to go Gruber on your research relating to diagnostics
We bought a Tesla Roadster for $25k. It had a broken front hood and fender in an accident with a basket ball hoop. We got a new front for a few thousand . Painted it and resild it for 50k in about 1 month. No salvage title either. We hated to sell it.
Interesting services that your providing, I’ve been wondering what happens to “old” electric vehicles... They get rebuilt, just like ICE vehicles... Always liked the roadster although I’ve never owned or driven one. Wish they’d come out with a nice two seater again as not everyone wants, or needs, four doors and all of the seating capacity.
Great job. I’m asking myself a question. When you repair a pack like this one that is that old, aren’t cell failures going to happen more and more often? So wouldn’t it be better to pay almost 20k pour a new pack and have no problems anymore than paying 2-3k every 5 months?
@@Sylvan_dB pretty logic, you can either sell your car and then you lost a lot of money and you need to buy a way more expensive Tesla. While if you juste change the battery, you'll make your older car way better, while not paying as much.
@@petegruber7564 Peter, you say this one cell problem is a fluke, and not indicative of a trend, yet further down in the comments section you say this problem is becoming more prevalent. May I ask which one it is?
Question: would it be easily possible to put a 100kWh battery un an old P85+. I mean when your battery doesn't work anymore and you have no garage like this one near you. Will Tesla accept to do such a modification? Thanks for the answer
The real question is WHY those EV companies wont do the same, test which cell is bad and just replace it, it looks easy to do instead of forcing the customer to pay 20k to replace the whole thing.. I mean if you have a remote control and its stop working, you just put 1 new battery and guess what it works again...
Did you have the tool to locate the cell number batttery inside the car? Can you locate the exact position in the battery in which Modul? Did you know the numbering of the cells? I like the videos and your know how. keep on
@@ferrochinabisleri1587 that's not possible since it's physically disconnected from the rest of the pack, as shown in the video. if the same cell blows up due to chemical aging processes the driver should be aware of using the vehicle with faulty but disconnected cells and should also be liable for that.
Thank you for the tip. This is not a salvage car however. The customer bought it from a private owner. BTW - We wholeheartedly support Tesla's prerogative to determine which vehicles are eligible for the free fuel feature since they are after all paying for the "fuel".
I have a '13 LEAF with 130,000 miles.... Can you work any magic with my 3 bars of capacity left 24kwh pack? Nissan wants $11,000 after all is said and done to which I had to wonder why they didn't take to dinner before .. well you get it.. HELP!
When our Camry hybrid's battery no longer working, I removed it from the car and tested each of the battery cells. I found that two were not charging or holding charges so I replaced them with used ones from eBay. The car runs like new again! My cost? $100. Toyota wanted about 7K to replace it. Hope you got your car fixed by now.
@@sdpryce Have you been to a tesla supercharger? There is no credit card input. The information is in the computer system. Many of these car, after the batteries were replaced by non tesla repair shops, won't super charge at a Tesla super charger. Tesla will need the owners information. However, they should work at non tesla supercharger stations.
@@Derpy1969 It took us years to nail down a process on Tesla Roadster batteries, in which problems like this are becoming far more prevalent. We will not be doing a video on this secret sauce topic any time soon.

The World needs more garages like this!
We need garages like this in Ireland / UK.
Totally agree with you, I am from Belgium

I am enjoying this series. Keep it up! This is the next Munro Live here!
What a professional job! 👏👏
If you repair/ replace only a portion of the batteries, isn’t there a good chance another portion is going to go bad soon?

Same, especially the 2021 MS and refresh!
me too. The new models except the X, look like fake porsches, FROG FACE. Not a luxury. TOY CAR.

I may have missed it, what is the warranty on the repairs?
No concerns over Tesla disabling Supercharging due to the pack repair? The license plate is clearly visible.

Roadster battery packs are still going strong after 10-12 years. This one cell problem is usually a fluke, and not indicative of a trend.
Who puts $20,000 into a car with 140,000 miles, when the car is worth no more than $30,000?

Can you show video on how to repair battery. Sheet
This is amazing

Where is your shop? What’s your info?
If you know of anymore available like this I will take it.
Same, where do people buy these from?

How bout a larger battery to make it quicker?
How do you discharge the battery ?
Did you have the tool to locate the cell number batttery inside the car? Can you locate the exact position in the battery in which Modul? Did you know the numbering of the cells?
I like the videos and your know how. keep on
If you want to keep the supercharging you better go back and blur the vin out of the video.
wise words...
SC should not be affected. This is a clean title MS.
@@petegruber7564 maybe but it has been altered/repaired. If it was mine I wouldn’t want the vin # showing up in a video just in case.
So, after this repair and 5000$ spent, do you give a warranty for the battery pack?
That doesn’t make sense since they only disable the faulty cell. If another one fails it’s not Gruber’s fault.
@@filip3148 And what if the following faulty cell is the same one?
@@ferrochinabisleri1587 that's not possible since it's physically disconnected from the rest of the pack, as shown in the video. if the same cell blows up due to chemical aging processes the driver should be aware of using the vehicle with faulty but disconnected cells and should also be liable for that.
Please do not show the VINs of vehicles like these saying they still supercharge. Tesla will absolutely blacklist it if they see this.

Buckle up! It's the law. 😉
I believe Rich Rebuilds has the cheapest Tesla Model S. He spent under $6000 on it 🔥
Nice!
I doubt 60 kwh sells for $30k with that high mileage.
Probably $20-25K
At best, that car might be worth $20k. It's a 60kw and a pain in the ass to keep it charged. He should just keep it.
Not cheap enough. Make it $1,800 and I'll buy one.

It's not salvage so why would it not Supercharge?

If you buy a salvege tesla it will still charge at all the other charging stations right?
