I know many people who have Teslas anywhere from 10-2 years old and nobody has ever had any battery issues. Degradation is also barely noticeable too.

How much does it cost to replace battery? Remove and replace labor in addition

~$14k on an 85D... which is about the same cost BMW will charge you for a new engine on a 2014 3 series.
