Features of Tesla Roadster batteries

Owners of Tesla Roadster electromobiles complain that a car battery fails at zero charge. At least 5 such cases have already been registered (out of 2,200 Tesla Roadster vehicles sold).



As stated in the user manual, for fully charged batteries, the charge drops by 50% in the first week, and then by 5% every week. Discharged batteries will fail in a week. As they say caustic bloggers on mot, in this case, the Tesla Roadster becomes a "brick" worth one hundred thousand dollars, and it can only be moved with the help of a tow truck.



Tesla Roadster is equipped with a set of batteries of 8,000 individual Li-Ion cells, with a total capacity of 53 kWh. The system is controlled by a controller that prevents the batteries from recharging in the usual way if the charge level falls below a certain limit.



Tesla's warranty does not apply to a battery unless proper care has been provided. Car buyers sign a special paper that pledges to monitor the level of battery charge and do not leave the car for a long time away from the outlet.

Tesla further explained that their battery is not an ordinary battery, but a complex system that needs special care. Like, do not follow the level of battery charge - the same thing that does not follow the level of oil in the internal combustion engine of a regular car.
