I don't know how much it adds, but the Tesla model S module has to have rigidity for the car and some puncture resistance etc. that might not be needed in a power application right? It also may need to have a much higher peak discharge and charging rate and cooling to accommodate that.

That's true. A vehicle-grade battery pack should also already come with the wiring built in so you can charge and discharge all the cells from a single point without having to make your own harness. Still, though, I'm not convinced buying a used Model S battery pack is a good deal unless you have an application that specifically needs it.
