I also recently had the pack on my 85D swapped for a brand new 90kwh pack. After 2 years and 41,000 miles, I was seeing unusual error messages ("Car may not restart - contact service") on the car, so I took it into the Charlotte service center. They said they would need to replace the pack (under warranty) and gave me a loaner Model S for 5 weeks. When I got my car back, they gave me the good news about the brand new 90kwh pack - it shows up as a 90D on the center screen and on the binnacle. The only way you can tell it began its life as an 85D is the badging on the exterior of the car.
I was considering trading the car in for a new Model S if/when they introduce a larger size battery and/or interior refresh, but now I think I will just buy the extended warranty and drive this car for several more years.
