I've asked the Tesla rep several times regarding the replacement cost of a Model S battery . . . he keeps saying $12,000 . . . which IMHO is more than reasonable. However, I've noticed on various other posts that the battery cost was more like 1/2 the cost the the car. I'm starting to wonder if the $12,000 that he quoted me was future replacement expected cost (i.e.. in 10 years after construction/production of the Gigawatt Factory). I just want to know that if I damage my battery today, what it would cost to replace it. Thanks all . . .
