This confirms you are just spouting numbers, half the Tesla lineup MSRPs under $40k and I’ve seen battery replacement bills regularly in the $6k range. Continue being mad and misinformed.
I don't get how it could cost more to replace the battery than to buy an entirely new car that also has a new battery. I bought my Nissan Leaf for $13.5k after a lease.
Unfortunately ,none of the companies is publicizing their prices so you have to take mine and the rest of redditors word for it.
A quick google search corroborates my numbers, if Google is to be trusted.
