You can replace pretty much everything in the engine bay of a modern mid-level car for 4-6k. That's everything, which most people don't do.

Say that's required every 200k miles on average. Lot better than a 30k battery replacement.

But, the battery costs will continue to drop, so this will be interesting to see.

30k for a battery replacement? It’s 16k parts and labor to replace the battery in my model 3, and as you say, the cost will go down over time.

Wow really? That's not bad. I read recently the "hydraulic press" guy blew his up because it was ~30k.
