I am unfortunately needing to replace the 85kWh HV battery in my 2013 S85 (127k mi), out of warranty ~$13,500+ (reman).
On the Service Estimate it states:
"Any parts (including tires/wheels) removed or replaced by Tesla during vehicle service will become the property of Tesla. However, at the time you authorize repairs, you may
request to receive (subject to any applicable core charge, which you agree to pay) or inspect replaced parts (excluding inflatable restraint system components), except body shop repair parts and parts required to be returned to the manufacturer or a third party under a warranty, trade-in or exchange agreement, which will only be presented to you for examination and not returned."
Has anyone requested to keep the failed HV unit as part of the service successfully?
