Battery Pack Solutions for Your Roadster

Going fast in a straight line is easy, going fast around a track is where all the greatest sport cars are born...

The original Roadster is a remarkable achievement, the world's first production EV to travel more than 240 miles per charge. Unfortunately, the original Roadster is overburdened, with an unnecessary focus on straight-line performance. The focus of the Roadster should instead be on handling and speed, to match the racing pedigree of its world-class performance chassis. In short, it should be planted and nimble.

So we set out to develop a set of lightweight, yet powerful battery pack upgrades for the Roadster. And we came up with a pack configuration capable of delivering more than 285 kW while trimming up to 400 lbs off the curb weight of the original Roadster battery pack. 

Why Do You Do This?

Our goal is simple: to get your Roadster back on the road for thousands less. We've built our business around supporting out-of-warranty Tesla's and have logged thousands of hours working on Tesla battery packs - we know them inside out. Too often we see Roadster owners facing huge bills if something happens to their battery pack. We don’t want that for anybody. It’s not good for the planet and it’s not good for the electric vehicle industry. Instead, our goal is to get your Roadster back on the road for thousands less!

I'm Having a Problem with My Battery Pack. What Do I Do?

Whether you're a new customer or an existing customer, contact us as soon as possible and we will get you scheduled for service.

How Long Does It Take to Have a Battery Replaced?

Servicing times can vary, but once your vehicle is at a re/cell service center, turnaround time generally ranges from a few weeks to a month, depending on the exact issue and current workload at the Service Center.

Can I Just Buy a Battery Pack From You and Have Another Shop Install It?

Practically speaking, it’s just easier (and safer!) to ship your Roadster instead of just the battery – high voltage battery packs are heavy, cumbersome and can be easily damaged or become unsafe if not handled properly. More importantly, all service, including installation, performed on a re/cell battery pack MUST be performed at a re/cell service center.

Wait. How Am I supposed to Get My Roadster to Your Service Center in Texas?!?

Actually, our service center is centrally located just outside of Austin and we have vehicles transported to our service center ALL the time. We can help arrange for your Roadster to be picked up and brought to our service center, and and better yet, there’s no money required up front! If you arrange shipping through us, we’ll cover the initial cost of transportation, and if return shipping is needed, we simply include it as part of your final invoice.

How Much Will It Cost to Transport My Roadster?

Shipping is already included in the price of our rebuilt battery packs, and there’s never any money required up front. If you arrange shipping through us, we’ll cover the initial cost of transportation, and if return shipping is needed, we simply include it as part of your final invoice. If you have any questions, just ask us!

If My Rebuilt Battery Pack Fails, How Much Will It Cost Me?

If your rebuilt battery pack is still under warranty, there’s no additional cost. Any parts and labor required to repair or replace your re/cell battery pack are included. Aside from any applicable sales tax on any parts, there’s no additional cost. You are only responsible for getting your Roadster to a re/cell service center for service, and if needed, we can make arrangements for shipping your Roadster to/from a re/cell service center – we have dedicated shipping experts that we work with all the time to ensure the lowest price possible.

Where Can My Vehicle Be Serviced? Can't I Have Another Shop Replace the Battery Pack?

All warranty service performed MUST be performed at a re/cell service center. Unfortunately, there are NO exceptions. re/cell is not responsible for any costs associated with servicing at a third-party facility and ALL services on a re/cell battery pack MUST be performed at a re/cell service center.

Will the Entire Vehicle Be Needed for Warranty Service? Can’t I Just Ship You the Battery Pack?

Practically speaking, it’s just easier (and safer!) to ship your Roadster instead of just the battery – high voltage battery packs are heavy, cumbersome and can be easily damaged or become unsafe if not handled properly.  More importantly, we require the entire vehicle present at a re/cell service center in order to certify the battery. Unfortunately, there are NO exceptions. Removal of the battery pack at any other location other than a re/cell service center, including a Tesla Service Center, voids the battery pack warranty.

I Live in Canada, Can I Still Purchase a Rebuilt Battery Pack from re/cell?

Yes! We offer rebuilt battery packs for both Canada and Mexico as well.

I Live Outside North America, Can I Still Purchase a Rebuilt Battery Pack from re/cell?

Shipping overseas is a tricky one.  We'll do our best to help you out and work with you to arrange shipping.

What Information Do You Collect, and Do You Require a Remote Monitoring Device to Be Installed?

We only collect information about the battery pack when it’s at one of our Service Centers, and even then, we only collect the information that we need on file to support our Certification Program – like how many miles are on the battery pack, how many times it’s been charged and how much, the date it was put back into service, etc., etc. There are NO remote monitoring devices, NO communication whatsoever with your battery or your vehicle once it leaves one of our Service Centers. We have no way of collecting any additional information on the battery pack, you, or your car. That’s intentional. Your personal information is yours and yours alone, we have no interest in anyone’s personal information.

Do You Sell My Email or Personal Information to Other Companies?

Nope. Not. Ever.
