Assuming Slaguar are about in 8 years to honour it.8 year warranty on the battery, who knows a price then a lot less one would hope.

Surely you just unscrew the flap at the bottom and put the new battery in, making sure you put the flat end to the spring.
You would think so, but have you tried changing a simple headlight bulb on a modern car recently? On mine you have to remove the entire lighting unit from the car to do it!In all seriousness, is it hard to change the battery, i would have thought it would be easy, no moving parts, just lift in and out?

I remember watching a YT video of people buying write off Teslas in the States and it warned to watch for the car sitting high, apparently you could buy unseen...and not realise someones furtively had the battery pack off. Which infers...they can be removed without it being obvious, in Tesla cars if nothing else. Who knows, perhaps most cars are the same.In all seriousness, is it hard to change the battery, i would have thought it would be easy, no moving parts, just lift in and out?

In my trade you have to be very careful where you prod with your rod when working on electric vehicles. Ideally they should be powered down completely.
I wonder what training the Emergency Services get regarding EV's?. Lithium batteries are terrible if they short out and self ignite, the quantity in a "proper" EV doesn't bare thinking about.
My youngest is a firefighter, he has had training on them, not sure how much but I will certainly ask next time I see him.
