And for just making stuff up.

What will the price of replacement batteries be in ten years, Mike?

No need.
You've already equated todays dealer replacement cost with *any* replacement
ten years from now.

Why, heaven only knows.

I haven't 'equated' anything, merely reported what is available
in the media. You're the apparent soothsayer that knows the real
answer, it seems, let us know what it is. I know it will make you
feel good to have the last word.

You fold easily.

You've stated that in ten years, the batteries will be $5,000, because that
is what they cost from the dealer, now.
I've asked how you know this.

You've responded with insults.

Again.

replacement batteries for it.
