13K ish for a model 3/Y. The X and S, that cost north of 80K after options, are in the 20K range for battery replacement.

That said, the batteries have an 8 year /150Kish mile warranty that kicks in at 70% capacity retention. So even if it's functional but losing enough capacity, they'll replace it
