Calling the HV Battery Swap Experts...1088790-00-A into a 2013 S85 Help needed

[jtlpowersports]

Hey guys! I have a unique opportunity to install a 1088790-00-A battery pack into my 2013 Model S85. I work at a parts facility and we purchased a Model X with other intentions but are now going to be parting it out. This vehicle only has 32k on it so I'm assuming the pack is going to be much healthier than my much higher mileage unit.

If I am reading correctly...the pack will physically install the same as my 85, but I will need additional gateway configuration work outside of just the standard firmware redeploy. I am looking for assistance on planning this swap as I will be doing it on a lift at my works facility on a weekend and would need to be able to drive the car home after the swap.

Can anybody give me an exact answer of what needs done/changed so I can line this all up in advance?

Thanks

Physically all pre-refresh S/X packs are the same
Yes it should work (that part # is 90kwh 400v pack) with just a gateway change n software re-deploy
I've only read of one case on FB group where non-awd pack didn't work for awd car (ended up being BMS difference only), but its opposite for u, maybe not a problem.
Only confirmed case on here that i know of was for swapping like for like.

wk057 (currently silent) claims he can put in any pack n make it work.
There's a spreadsheet floating around with what car can accept what pack, can't recall the thread now...

Here's the one from @wk057

For those wondering this project was a success. We used some all-thread and an inspection camera to get the battery in. After a config change and a redeploy the car shows 90kwh and works 100% as intended. Range showing 255 at 100% with the first BMS estimates

Figured I’d dump some photos here and hopefully somebody finds this post in the future and decides to try this themselves! Very easy to do on a rack, grab some m10x1.25 all thread and use an inspection camera to line up the connectors. We used my original 85kwh pack to save a one owner p85 that we just acquired! Keeping them on

This is fantastic - glad it worked out so well for you!! Keep these beauties rolling for another 200,000 miles.

Enjoy the ride!
