About range, please note the conclusion as the end of first link that you referenced:
> That said, the overall dataset seems to be pointing to Tesla’s 90 kWh battery packs performing badly in general.
Keyword here - general. And I am not talking about Tesla specifically. Just EVs in general.
Second article that you quoted contains this about the costs:
> In the event your Tesla needs an out-of-warranty battery replacement, you can expect to pay between $10,000 and $20,000 depending on the model, local labor costs, and taxes.
10 to 20,000 USD whereas I projected it to around 25,000 because I am adjusting for inflation as the article is from 2020 and we're in 2023 with massive wave of inflation everywhere.

I would imagine the cost of batteries would go down as the technology improves, and the production scale increases. It wouldn't surprise me if this decrease was faster than inflation right now.
