The Super Bottle had a valve failure but it took two years to find out. A recent software update provides a battery test that always failed to run. That message should read, “No battery or thermal alerts, schedule service.” I am not sure how you get anything shown if “No battery.” Using the diagnostic, I found the service alerts: The low coolant filler was difficult to access because the frunk has to be taken out. But the other error remained. Long story short, $1,050 and 5 hours in the waiting room. I probably lost some range from battery overheating. Good news, a future battery replacement will be $13,000 which is cheaper than the $16,000 of 2-3 years ago. Here is the replacement: About the size and weight of a small dog, there are five valves and one of them failed. Its primary purpose is to move heat and coolant around the battery, drive motor, and cabin to minimize thermal losses. For example, waste heat from the battery and drive motor are routed to the cabin in cold weather to reduce heating energy loss. Repair invoice: Bob Wilson
