A Tesla Model S 70D owner upgraded the battery, improving range from about 200 miles to 300 miles. The cost for the new battery was $8,500, plus $1,000 for shipping. Labor costs were avoided since the owner operates an EV repair shop. However, typical owners could face around $12,000 to complete the upgrade. The increase in driving range and charging speed significantly enhanced the usability of the vehicle, making it a more appealing option for potential buyers.
The bigger pack increased the usable driving range by 50%, making the 10-year-old EV a much more usable car.
The big pack was $8,500 and it cost another $1,000 to get it shipped. The average Model S owner should expect a final cost of around $12,000.
