Yes. Been behind on a few other things but I’ll have it out this week.
Possible but highly unlikely. More likely they are replacing an array in the battery
Good luck with that 7.5 hour estimate. My truck has been in the EV service bay for 14 days for a battery MODULE replacement.
If it is the entire battery being replaced, that should be easier than a module. The battery will already be balanced and fewer connections to button up.
A full battery replacement should take no more than 4 hours (which will include breaks for the technicians).
I’d bet real money that your truck hasn’t been worked on all day, every day for 14 days. You tech is likely being reassigned to billable service jobs that are more profitable to the dealership.
They say in this Drive Electric video, a HV battery ER might cost $36K, (or each array/module $4400?) but only 3.3 (or he says 5) hours of time, $675+tax, but out the door $40K? $32K total for an SR battery. ICE F150 5.0L engine totals only $13K. Total cost of 200K miles of ownership was $53K for either ER or 5LV8 [$45 for SR]. Hopefully, in 8 years (end of warranty) there will be a cheaper battery available or a Mr. Fusion. Thoughtful video. See another of their videos about their rear bumper repair $2300 and also a front end collision repair $44,000!
