bad battery module

[GoodSam]

Is module 6 smaller than others?
Do you know if the labor is covered if this happens in year 3-8?

And it was a Platinum ER module, so that should be more expensive than a SR module?
Labor is covered through year 8, but not if you upgrade to an "ER Max"!

I could live with $4K in 200K miles. I would keep it even with 40% drop in range.

Maybe not if you need to have all 9 modules replaced!

‘The problem is, they likely would not go bad at the same time otherwise I would call it totaled after warranty . If hope keeps me changing nine, one at a time, at the end of it, I won’t be very happy with the tech. Unless cost and speed of replacing them significantly drop or new compatible battery tech makes them lighter, safer and more reliable. I guess we will have to watch the thread on this as the trucks get older. I know people have gone back for module replacement twice on the same truck so far. We will have to see if there will be 3 times and 4 times in the next few years.

I don't know for certain, as in official policy.

Based on my view of various sources ie. Munro videos and similar, the cells within the module might be sent to reclamation processing facilities, the cells are ground down and precious metals are recovered to be use in secondary battery manufacturing.

I think it's "difficult" for the cell stacks to be disassembled without damage to the collector tabs.

What do you think @MickeyAO ?

It's not difficult...it's impossible, and I have first hand knowledge.
