Unless they have to be written off cause they are wrecked? Tesla's kept this one close to the chest. We really don't seem to have much data at all on how the rocket engines are doing after re-entry. The rocket engine itself might well be it's own Ship of Theseus, requiring considerable replacement. We just don't know, it's just not clear.

Would launches be as cheap if they had to keep replacing the most complicated part of the ship? Could they hide the expense of replacing the engines with subsidized pricing like Uber?
