The part that they don't tell you is that a replacement battery will cost you between $13,000 and $20,000. A new gasoline engine is between $2,500 and $5,000. Unless it is a Corvette at $14,000. And that is even if they make the battery still. They only have to make parts for 10 years after the model is discontinued. If you want an electric car because it can haul ass on about a $1 a gallon equivalent, then my suggestion is to lease one. Of course that could run you $1,500 a month for a Tesla Model S.
