Maybe not too surprising on this one. I hear the range on these are not great especially if you drive them spiritedly. And given it’s a first gen product on a new tech, no one really knows what these will be worth 5 - 10 years from now.
Rich Rebuilds just addressed this in a video. Tesla wants ~$20k to replace the batteries in a 10 year old Tesla with 100k miles on it. With the current prices of used Teslas it’s literally cheaper to just buy a new one than to buy a used one and replace the batteries. They are quickly becoming disposable.
They are indeed terrible value.
That’s not far off an engine replacement from the dealer on an ICE vehicle, the price isn’t the issue it’s how many of them do need a new battery every 10 years
