A bad link. Search "tesla battery replacement cost" to be amazed. The pack since flat underneath bottom driving over a large rock can damage it.
I'm sure the rust proofing on the battery pack will last through at least 5 winters. :sick:

Why the change the subject from Tesla quality of battery packs! :)
Point is if something fails I question the integrity of the whole thing.
For years I've had a Hyundai Accent for daily driving. 10yr/100K warranty, mpg around 35+. MSRP starts at $15,400. You can buy two for the least expensive EV.
Now...wait for the EV lover's explosion

Whoever can supply a one ton awd truck, reg cab, that can be fitted with a 10’ flatbed, and keep it under 20’ long.

THIS!
Well...you asked for it!

I would sell it, buy an Accent, invest that $10+K.

Not joking. Would suit my needs, and I'd actually get a "new" car with a decent greenhouse.

This is fresh from the Germany factory tour. You can see there are no battery modules like has been the case since perhaps Model 3. Notice how seats are mounted on the center sturctual casting that holds the batteries so when battery goes in those seats are installed by default.
