” want to say that replacing the battery on a Tesla is upwards of $30k”

A place on the internet says around $12k average. Tesla warranties the batteries for 100,000 - 150,000 miles depending on the model. Tesla claims they’ll last 300,000 - 500,000 miles.

So they say. The world should be coming up on those first few warranty windows.

Found this.... https://www.motorbiscuit.com/man-buys-complete-undamaged-tesla-model-s-for-10000/ Amazing that car batteries are just hundreds of strung together, little batteries. I was expecting more.

I'm sure the warranty length is a more accurate measure than Tesla's estimate of battery life. Warranty limits make Tesla to put its money where its mouth is.
