Battery prices are still falling 10-15% a year. So needing to replace the battery 5-8 years from now won't cost as much as needing to replace an ice engine. And the way Tesla batteries are lasting so far I think you could probably get a good price for the old battery as well. So the cost people keep talking about battery replacement
wont be as much over time
- WillPostForFood 7y agoYou can rebuild a 4 cylinder engine for under a $1000 dollars. Maybe half that in an area where labor is cheap. In 5 years, replacing a battery pack will still be 5x or 10x that.
- NullPrefix 7y agoWhat kind of warranty could you expect for that $1000 engine rebuild job?
- WillPostForFood 7y ago30 days? 90 days? Enough to show that it works, and will be good for another 200k mules.
- NullPrefix 7y ago200k miles in 90 days sounds a lot.
