There's a lot of things I dislike about Tesla, but at least there's reason to believe that you could potentially keep using the original battery long past 200k miles or 15 years, and not 150,000 miles and 10 years.

A. 10 years / 150K miles is the warranty period for a Toyota hybrid battery NOT the useful life.
B. A genuine OEM Toyota battery for your Avalon is a bit less than $2,800. Add 2 hours of labor for this plug and play battery and you are at $3,000. Anyone trying to charge you another $3,000 in labor to swap a HV battery is trying to fleece you.
