Here is just an example what a used S85 Tesla battery w/ 60k miles on it is valued at: $17k https://www.ebay.com/itm/143993046942?hash=item2186a7879e:g:vy4AAOSwCppel2A0
That "dead" CT3 battery would have some real $ value to it.
Simply search on what the Tesla batteries sell for (sold for not listed price).
So it may come down to whether or not the structural pack is replaceable...or replace the entire truck to get back to 500 miles of range. Or it becomes a robo taxi at that point to fund these crazy ass bed campers that are as expensive as the trucks they are going into.Even if its a wash. Is it a better truck? More enjoyable to drive? How about the reduction in emissions and carbon footprint? Also, there is a reasonable chance the battery pack will be considerably cheaper by the time you replace it, although we don’t know by how much.
