This is the bamboozle argument that Tesla's been pushing since 2013 model S, while hiding the true cost with the warranty.

A decade later, replacement pack for that car still runs you ~$20k, which makes model S cars disposable when they roll off the subsidized warranty.

Battery cost per unit of energy stored has fallen very fast for years.

What Tesla charges to replace batteries is a whole other matter. They charge what they think they can get.
