Chedongxi? News on January 15, according to foreign media Electerk reported that recently, Tesla has launched two models of Model?S and Model?X This model has produced a battery pack with a capacity of 85kWh. This battery has now appeared in Tesla’s public parts catalog.
At the same time, some Tesla owners discovered that it was a new battery with a capacity of 85kWh after replacing the battery, but batteries with this capacity have not yet been provided to new car owners.
Tesla has provided many battery options for Model S and Model X, with different battery capacities of 60, 70, 75, 85 and 90kWh available. However, starting in 2019, Tesla will only provide a battery capacity option of 100kWh for Model S and Model X.
In 2019, Tesla released a software update to limit the depth of discharge of older models to improve battery life. Many car owners complained about reduced battery life. This time, Tesla replaced the new battery with the old model, perhaps to improve the battery life and life.
1. Tesla’s new-capacity battery has appeared in the parts catalog
Recently, some media reported that Tesla has produced batteries suitable for Model S and Model S. The new battery for the X model has a capacity of 85kWh. This battery is currently in Tesla’s public parts catalog.
▲Can you see this model in the Tesla parts catalog website?
In the parts catalog on Tesla’s official website, you can find the new 85kWh battery option. The part number is 1014116-00-A. However, on Tesla’s order page, Tesla provides long-range and high-performance versions of Model S and Model options.
2. Some car owners reported that the new battery can be replaced with the old model? The parameters are slightly different
On January 14, a Tesla owner nicknamed Chilam was in Tesla Tesla Motors Club stated that after repairing and replacing the battery, his 2013 Tesla Model S P85+ got a new battery with a capacity of 85kWh.

He said in the forum: "I replaced the battery component of the vehicle, and the original battery version was B (but not sure about the part number) , when I got the vehicle with the replaced battery back, I found something different, but to my surprise, the new battery currently showed 92% of the remaining power and could still run for 265 miles (approximately 424 kilometers), which was completely calculated. It can run 288 miles (approximately 461 kilometers) on a full charge. Initially, I thought I could replace the 90kWh battery, but when I checked the vehicle, the part number on the battery label was 1014116-00-A, with a capacity of 85kWh, and it can use 350V. DC charging is slightly different from the 400V DC charging of older batteries.”

In another message, he shared. A photo of the battery label was taken. The battery label shows the part number and battery capacity of the new battery. It also confirms that this battery can indeed only be charged with a maximum voltage of 350V DC.
Foreign media Electrek said that currently, the new 85kWh capacity battery produced by Tesla has fewer modules, and the purpose may be to replace the batteries in older models.
Tesla released a software update for Model S models produced before 2016 in June 2019, which extended the life of the battery by limiting the discharge of the battery. At that time, some car owners complained about the reduced battery life of the vehicle.
It is still unknown whether this new 85kWh capacity battery can improve battery life and endurance. However, Tesla has made many technological advances in the battery field in recent years.
Conclusion: Tesla’s new battery? Improvement of the old battery or another car purchase option?
Tesla has recently begun producing a new battery with a capacity of 85kWh. Some media predict that replacing this type of battery will improve the endurance and battery life of older models. At the same time, it is also predicted that Tesla will give new car owners a new battery option, and the Model S and Model X models will also have a lower starting price.
Tesla officials have not yet made any announcements or statements about the new batteries, and there are currently few cases of replacing new batteries. It is not entirely certain whether Tesla hopes to improve the battery life and life of older models. question.
