Tesla's long rumored price point is $100/kWh (https://insideevs.com/tesla-cheapest-battery-pack-costs/ https://insideevs.com/tesla-cheapest-battery-pack-costs/) and these cars are presumably 60kWh, so ~$6k for the battery.
- AdrianB1 8y agoThat is a target or prediction, not current cost, but still your $6,000 is much closer to reality than $20,000.
- umeshunni 8y agoIt looks like at the cell level, they're close to $100/kWh and expect to be there at the pack level by 2020. > In a rare disclosure of Tesla’s battery prices, Musk said in June that his company’s costs for battery cells—the small cylindrical components of its battery packs—had dropped to $110 per kilowatt hour (kWh) and would reach $100 per kWh by the end of 2018. That compares with an average price of about $127 per kWh industrywide.
