[Tesla and Musk have faced a wave of
complaints about the cost of
replacing a battery, with third party garages providing
replacements for a quarter of the cost.

According to electric vehicle news website
Electrek, another Tesla owner in the United States
was told a battery pack replacement would
cost him $22,500 (£16,800) at a Tesla service centre.

Instead, he took it to an
independent garage who provided a
working replacement battery for $5,000 (£3,762) - less than a
quarter of what he was origin
ally quoted by Tesla.

Tesla's warranty covers battery replacements
if the capacity drops below 70% within
150,000 miles or eight years of purchase.

However owners of older models
are being left with large repair bills
from Telsa as their batteries lose power
and give their cars a reduces range. ]
