Just wait till the battery needs to be replaced in that Tesla. I guess those Tesla owners are saving on oil changes
Yes, they save on gas/fuel costs, oil changes and many other wear tear ICE parts over the 8-10 year of the life span of the battery
The real thing is, no one knows the cost or type of battery that someone who buys a Tesla new today will be replacing in 8-10 years (post warranty).
With how quickly the tech is advancing, 8 years is an eternity and the battery will probably be cheaper, lighter weight and go longer distance than the battery they have in today. You can’t use the price today unless you are talking to someone who bought a Tesla in 2014…and the differences between 2014-2024 Tesla is already pretty extreme

Agree it’ll be interesting to see how putting a newer tech battery into an older chassis impacts the value of used Teslas.

Best guess for most financial modeling is about 3% reduction year over year. That’s what’s driving replacement reserve models atm. The biggest variable is that everyone (kbra) just accounts for a 100% replacement but they’re not taking into account the salvage value of the degraded unit. We should see a nice secondary market develop for those which will then even further lower the replacement cost.

Don't know if it's feasible to just throw a much lighter battery pack in. That would completely change the driving dynamics right?
