Buyers think they'll have to spend a fortune to replace the battery when in reality those batteries still have lots of miles left in them. People are picking up 150,000 mile model 3's for $10K, and that car could be good for another 150,000 miles.

Other than some squeaks and creeks, my 2018 model 3 is working fine with 160,000. I don't plan on replacing it anytime soon.

Battery has lost ~10% max capacity over the years.
