You drain it, unbolt 2 straps, pull the pump, and then put the pump in the new tank, and replace the tank. You might even get lucky and not have to undo any fuel hoses.
With skateboard designs, like all Teslas, you have to remove the entire interior.
I haven't seen Tesla's getting the battery swapped.much, but I've seen others that while probably taking a few hours isn't removing the entire interior. Honestly, that's just yet another reason to not buy a Tesla, as if there weren't enough reasons to avoid them as it is
Having had a petrol tank replaced, you make it seem like it's a 15 minute job, definitely isn't, at least it wasn't in my ford falcon (au, 2000 model) and that's a basic bitch car.
