"Folks who buy $90,000 cars tend to replace them every few years, and the bid for a four-year-old Model S may prove disappointing if it's going to need an expensive new battery in a few more years."

Seems odd that there are three different models/pricing options in the model s but they only mention the $90k price (85 kWh)....smaller battery (65 kWh) = smaller cost, not sure why this is so difficult to understand.....the Nissan Leaf is a 24 kWh battery and it is under $30k now

Also the battery has an '8 years, unlimited miles' warranty, idk I could say a few years or I could say almost a decade.....poor framing of the basic facts

Despite Barron's scare tactics, there is new tech on the horizon for high energy density/low power density metal air batteries, but somehow that discussion got left out.
