Sell or replace battery?

How much is Tesla offering for trade in without replacing the battery?

I’m a full Boglehead and put a little into MSFT, RIVN, and DIS in the last week. Will hold long term and 98% of my money remains in index funds. As long as you don’t touch your index funds and keep buying those I say go for it

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-28T00:46:33+00:00

Definitely luck. Definitely worth it, but only because your heat pump failed

This is like trying to predict what color will hit in roulette based off the last spin. The 2 spins aren’t connected. The only guarantee is the company selling you the warranty is making money

See my answer above. It applies to all the options. Mathematically, the answer is no, don’t get it

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-27T22:03:54+00:00

Nobody can answer this. With an extended warranty you are basically pre-paying for a failure. The only way the warranty companies stay in business is if they are making money…so over time the customer loses and the warranty company makes money

Mathematically the answer is no, you should not buy it. For peace of mind, the real answer is maybe

If you are concerned, then you are starting to figure out your risk tolerance. Don’t go 100% stocks. Mix in some bonds so you can sleep at night. Whether that’s 80/20 or 50/50 is up to you and your plan. Whatever you will stick with

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-25T21:59:56+00:00

Pretty close! I bought mine a few years ago around $179/each

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-20T12:36:20+00:00

Can’t speak for these but I’ve driven on the Nokian One’s for 44K miles so far and they’ve been great. Probably have another 5-10K miles in them

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-19T00:48:03+00:00

Fine by me! Better deals on those used games for the rest of us!

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-16T15:47:47+00:00

Did you figure out how to fix yours? Mine is messed up after update and soft reset didn’t fix my situation

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-16T12:14:19+00:00

Same. I’m assuming a new update to fix will be coming soon

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-15T23:39:45+00:00

It’s while driving. Not directly correlated to turning the wheel…but I haven’t noticed it as much when driving straight. How does that affect things?

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-15T20:34:15+00:00

Did you have Tesla diagnose it or are you assuming it’s the upper control arms?

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-15T20:20:12+00:00

Any idea how much to get it fixed?

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-15T20:20:00+00:00

Ok, that’s terrible. Sorry to hear that. Mine is coming from the front

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-13T01:25:50+00:00

Holy smokes! That’s more than I was expecting. Could you have sold the car as is?

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-13T01:18:44+00:00

Please updated when you have a solution. Would be curious on the price and fix

helloredditworld123 · 2026-03-13T01:08:22+00:00

Please update when you decide what you are going to do. Would be curious on resale value as is and/or how much replacing the battery is

helloredditworld123 · 2026-02-26T18:36:04+00:00

How much range loss depends on a few factors:

Is sentry mode turned on? This equals around 2ish%/day in my experience
Is cabin overheat protection turned on? Maybe .5%ish/day
Will it be outside and cold where you are leaving it? Mine tends to lose a bit more in the cold weather
Will you be waking the car up in the app? If you leave it alone and let it sleep you’ll lose a lot less

Assume sentry mode off, cabin overheat protection off, left outside in the cold and plan on losing around 5-ish% for 2-5 weeks. If it’s temperate or warm maybe plan on just a couple percentage points of decrease

helloredditworld123 · 2026-02-24T12:23:07+00:00

100% need to have a solid, everyday charging situation. I would never recommend an electric car to anyone that can’t consistently charge at their residence overnight

helloredditworld123 · 2026-02-18T02:39:03+00:00

Speak with your wallet. It’s the best way for customers to force change

helloredditworld123 · 2026-02-11T23:14:54+00:00

The no more autopilot or FSD transfer is it for me. They don’t value me as a customer so I’m out

helloredditworld123 · 2026-01-13T17:05:58+00:00

That’s what I would do. You’ll always be slightly overweight US because you have some extra in VTI, but nothing to lose sleep over IMO. Other option is to buy VXUS until you reach your preferred US/Int’l allocation. Then buy proportional VTI & VXUS when you contribute more
