Tesla doesn't want anyone else swapping batteries into their cars.
When a Tesla bursts into flame due to a bad battery bought on eBay, which do you think makes the news.
Tesla car bursts into flames while parked in garage
or
Offbrand battery purchased on eBay bursts into flames
It makes 1000% sense to not support this. And I bought a Tesla knowing full well anything past tires/brakes is going to require Tesla to be my repairshop of choice. I can't shop it around the same I can my Honda. And the tradeoff was worth it to me. Early signs point to the battery lasting 200k miles, which should outlive the car.
