Well I just caught TESLA in another lye "Surprising"...
My Battery Needs Replacing, so why not upgrade it with the newest technology (newer, better, lighter). They said they can't. Can't or won't I asked..? and I was told that it has never been done and that they are not compatible.

Life With Tesla Model S: Battery Upgrade From 60 kWh To 85 kWh
So I called White Plains and Alex in the SC reviewed the vehicle history and came back and denied the report.
...Is the respectable journalist David Nowland a lier or Tesla??
I then cross searched the VIN:
The number in quotes identifies that this was originally a 60 {5YJSA1C”G”4DFP03662} if it was originally a 85 it would be an “N”
I then found this photo from the dealership that sold it.
THE TRUTH IS ANY TESLA MODEL S CAN HAVE THE BATTERY UPGRADED AND TESLA HAS DONE IT .
They have upgraded 60's to 85's; a 2012 P85 and 2015 85D to 90 so why can't we just go from a 60 straight to a 90 or even 100?
