I wouldn’t have Tesla do it on a 300,000 mile plus vehicle.  Would buy second hand/repurposed/refurbished pack like I would on a Camry.  Going to Toyota and having them put in a factory fresh engine would make sense on a 10+ year old Camry with 300,000 miles on it when you could get a junk yard replacement for cheaper then Toyota would in stall a new long block for.

Again just got a motor from BMW for a 2010 750Lxi twin turbo 4.4 V8 for $3900

Answer the fucking question.

About $6-7k for a used battery pack for a long range Y or 3 with around 15,000 miles on the pack from auto recyclers….

Nope, BMW dealerships don't sell used motors. Mitchell says 22.4 hours of labor to remove & replace, we are $152/hr

No EV! If Ram went only EV, I would just drive old, reliable. Anyone who thinks EV's are better, never towed a trailer cross Country. I do it weekly.

You also shit your pants weekly.

The Y and 3 are 1980's Kias. Question was on the model S not the Uber shit.

More like 9k with shipping, then the labor, and that's the price for a used pack not refurbished..lol

It’s just reduced taxation…

It should actually have increased taxes levied in it since it uses roads and pays no road tax

People pay taxes on electricity they typically use.

Your link says $22.5k.  God you are dumb.  Then it goes on to say they don't even know how to service them.

$5k to fix it is what the link says.  Owner didn’t pay 22k.  Paid $5k including labor which is cheaper than a 2010 bmw v8 installed with labor…..

So how much did it cost? The modules were $1,500 each, for a total of $3,000. Another $750 in parts for contractors and fuses, with the main one being upgraded to the ones introduced in the Model S Ludicrous.

With diagnostic and labor, it came up to about $5,000, or about 75% less than Tesla was quoting for a full battery pack replacement.

Derp.  Fix a completely worn out battery.  Good luck.  Yes you can replace a valve on a broken motor if that is all that breaks but not a catastrophic failure.  There you linked the price at $22.5k.  all to repair what was and always will be a piece of shit.

If you went to Tesla which replaces whole batteries yes it cost that much.  Going to a BMW dealer and having them replace an engine is likely going to be more expensive then going to an independent shop as well.  They fixed the S for $5k by going to an independent shop vs the manufacture.   You can fix battery packs dumb dumb instead of replacing it.  He didn’t pay 22k to fix a model S battery.  Only paid $5k, it’s in the link.
