    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.

      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
