Tesla Roadster ESS Main Battery — 3.0 Replacement Pack
Every Roadster will eventually need an ESS main battery replacement. Many original 2008–2011 packs still run today, but Tesla now supplies 3.0 packs for Vehicle-Off-Road (VOR) and bricked cars, and has also resumed elective replacements for proactive owners.
Eligibility & Ordering
If your Roadster is undriveable with a non-recoverable pack, we provide free log-file review to confirm status. Order the 3.0 pack through your local Tesla Service Center. Typical lead time is 3–6 months; U.S. pricing is $40,000 + tax, billed by Tesla at completion.
Gruber Motors Turnkey Process
- Send your inoperative Roadster to us — Your place in Tesla’s queue is unchanged and can benefit from our volume.
- We coordinate the swap with Tesla — Close collaboration with the Tempe and Deer Valley, AZ Service Centers to install your new 3.0 pack.
- Post-swap restoration at Gruber — PEM overhaul, VMS backup, GPS firmware-corruption fix if needed, and any deferred maintenance you select.
- Fix the root cause — In non-elective cases, the failure that led to bricking often surfaces once the pack is online. Our component-level repairs are typically more cost-effective than full module replacements, the only option from Tesla.
Many “bricked” events originate in electronics, not just the battery. After the new pack is installed, we resolve underlying faults so the battery, firmware, and electronics are aligned for a long, synchronized service life.
Why Gruber for Your 3.0 Upgrade
- End-to-end logistics — We manage transport and the full upgrade sequence with Tesla.
- Component-level expertise — We repair PEMs and related systems instead of defaulting to costly module swaps.
- Longevity built-in — Coordinated updates aimed at another 15–20 years of service.
