The cost to replace a Tesla Model X battery depends on a number of things,

like how old the car is, what kind of battery it has, and whether or not it's still under warranty.

Tesla doesn't say how much its batteries cost, and the price can change depending on what's going on.

Estimates show that replacing a Model X battery can cost anywhere from $12,000 to $20,000.

If a Tesla owner has an active warranty or Tesla insurance, the cost of replacing a battery may be less.

As battery technology keeps getting better and more people use it,

the price of replacement batteries should go down over time.
