Yes, and they charge $129 to remove some screws, unplug an old battery, and plug in a new battery. So why do they not give people the option to just buy a battery, if they are doing all these self service repair rollouts.

That $129 includes verifying it actually works and providing warranty if it fails.
The point is they are going through this song and dance of selling parts directly to customers, but have excluded extremely easily replacement batteries.
