I'm imagining for a more advanced BMS system that manages dead cells for you, you don't scavenge cells but instead use the battery pack as a whole unit, just separated from the car.

Think something like a conversion kit that turns your Model 3 battery pack that you've removed from your car into a powerwall.

People on the DIY solar forum already use old Tesla batteries for powerwalls so there’s likely to be kits in the future to make it plug and play.
