Brought my MS85 today to diagnose a center screen issue and the techs offered me to (optionally) install a shield (titanium-aluminum) specially designed to further protect the lithium battery pack and other critical areas. They have in stock, so I said yes. It will take close to an hour to install. Let's see how it goes. Has anybody heard about this? Cal

There are threads about this already; also note it's not a full underbody shield, more of a front underbody mod to deflect and/or crush objects before they reach the pack. Tesla adds Titanium Underbody Shield to Model S
