So they figure that you'll get about 134,000 miles from a Tesla, then it could cost up to $20,000 to replace the battery packs.

I had a new engine put in my 2001 Ford F-150 last January at 200,000 miles at a cost of 8500 bucks, installed. At the rate I drive it, considering I didn't have the first 3000 mile oil change done until a couple months ago, it'll last me the rest of my life.
