tesla is introducing a battery swap program that swaps the batteries in the same time as filling a tank with petrol, and they do have a *warranty* program were you can pre-buy a replacement battery system for $12k.

nevertheless, it's all across the net that if you brick your tesla battery, a replacement is $32k + $8k labor, etc.

not saying i understand that, but my original point is backed-up by it, i don't yet see this car as a shade-tree wrench car. there might not be as many moving parts as an internal combustion engine, but this car is very sophisticated.
