Mkl22 Supersonic December 26, 2023 Share December 26, 2023 On 12/26/2023 at 1:05 PM, Vratenza said: let me illustrate my point: lets say the EV has 8 battery modules/cells, during the annual servicing at 7yrs into ownership, the AD tested that the battery degradation status is as such: 1) 91% 2) 86% 3) 93% 4) 82% 5) 91% 6) 90% 7) 91% 😎 92% So based on manufacturer's SOP, the AD proceed to go ahead to swap out # 2 and #4. then the car is sold to another buyer right after the cells swap. in the next 3 years of of the remaining COE, the rest of the unreplaced 6 cells continue with the natural degradation to start dipping below 90% or even 80%. the new owner has to come up with cash to replace these failing cells. thats assuming they honour and change even anything. sometimes they drag and tell you no stock or supplier making new one and have to be patient and drag it out until you cannot tahan. which you then sell and pass the buck to someone else. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car, engine error code flashed, return to AD, AD say is one of the 4 spark plug gone, need to replace under warranty. For my car, the next servicing was a major one, which was only 2000km away, and that included changing all 4 spark plugs, so I asked the Service Advisor why not just change all 4 spark plugs in one shot, save the labour. The SA said no can do, must follow the manufacturer schedule and SOP. 🙄 normal to claim labour from manufacturer. service is their profit. warranty claim is paid by manufacturer.

First, they need to standardise the battery. In china can. Nio just need to do 1 % of the car population in one city, can it can be feasible liao. In Singapore, imagine 200 car is BYD, 200 car is BMW, 200 car is Opel, how many type of battery the workshop need to store? It will be a logistical nightmare. Cannot lah. Hhahaha. Singapore too small for EV mass adoption. Hybrid lah. Don't be so ambitious. hahaha 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting enough, he was given a courtesy car, that means Nissan had been paying for 1 year of courtesy car but was unable to provide a replacement battery ? Supply chain cant be so screw up, there might be other problems that nissan did not tell the truth😰 ↡ Advertisement 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
