To prevent battery overload and reduce the risk of fire, the system limits the maximum charge to 50 percent, which may make owners face severe restrictions in daily driving and risk significant financial losses when reselling the vehicle.
Nearly 4,500 Teslas in Korea have experienced battery system malfunctions that prevent charging, with over half replaced with reused batteries rather than new ones, fueling consumer outrage over the EV giant’s failure to uphold accountability.
Korea’s Environment Ministry has formally demanded a resolution, warning that continued inaction could lead to the suspension of government subsidies.
By model year, roughly 65 percent of the cases, or 2,991, occurred in 2021 models. Among them, 1,944 were Model Ys, accounting for 22 percent of that year’s total Model Y sales. For the Model 3, 1,047 cases were reported, representing 12 percent of its 2021 sales.
The remanufactured units are assembled using salvageable cells extracted from defective or returned Teslas, which are then repaired, tested and repackaged at the factory.
