Gotta pay the bills.

Also, it costs money to recycle this stuff right now ^-^

4x the cost of the vehicle itself (if they even bought the vehicle and weren't donated it) seems excessive just for some souvenirs.

To each their own.

Maybe Munro & Assoc target customers for the 4680 cells are vehicle manufacturers and battery manufacturers that want a few cells for tear-down and chemical analysis by their own laboratories.

If you want souvenirs just wait a year or two and there will be cheap cells from totaled cars.

I highly doubt they would be putting it on their website shop if that were the case. Confirmed by the fact that they even state it will be encased in glass jar embedded in epoxy. Very generous reading of that move.

I have zero interest in souvenirs, especially overpriced ones. Tesla already grifts their die hard fan base with outrageously priced trinkets. Guess Sandy figured easy targets, mine as well join the grift.

Tesla fanboys.. the new high end grift.

They maybe came from the bin on the Tesla property.

You could be buying something taken illegally.

Shame Shame Shame

I bought a laminate from the Model S Plaid motor for $100 from Munro. I am not an art fan, but I find beauty in the laminate. To me, it’s a $100 Picasso.

I applaud selling souvenirs. I do mind when the object is considered hazardous and requires special disposal. Wondering out loud if the 8n adds have been removed,

It's a battery cell that's welded together. I don't think they can take the innards out without destroying it ^-^;

You're allowed to mail lithium cells. They're not that hazardous.

I am worried about disposal in the future with either the spouse or kids who inherit are not interested in a battery on display.

...It's a battery. You take it to the battery recycler.

In California, any business that sells batteries also has to provide recycling ^-^

So any Household Hazardous Waste drop-off. There shouldn't be a fee.

I agree the recycling method is simple. I do not believe all these batteries will be disposed of properly over time.
