I own a Tesla because my engine died at 95k miles in my 2016 VW, with regular maintenance, and it was $11k for just the engine, not counting labor to install it.

I could change it myself, and I could have bought a used engine for roughly $5500, but the economics of that dont work out.

I'm willing to take my chances with a battery pack installation.

Also, 200 miles range is 6x the average daily miles driven, so for almost everyone, it should be plenty! Unless you're thinking we should mass produce solutions for the 1%?
