5 figures, depending on model. The largest packs are around $40k.
But Tesla claims 300k - 500k miles before the battery comes due for a replacement. Most of the very oldest Teslas haven't reached that mileage yet. The average drive certainly doesn't reach it in their first 10 years of owning their car.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoI can get a refurb 100kw pack for my Model S for ~$14k from Tesla. 2018, has ~125k miles on it, less than 10% degradation heavily Supercharged.
