As I said, this is all hypothetical until we get a 'real world' quote for the cost of replacing the whole battery pack. We're talking about battery failure after the initial warranty. I simply remind you that many vintage Ferrari has maintenance costs that far exceed their initial acquisition cost when talking about long-term ownership. Again, I never thought high upkeep costs would be an issue on a Ferrari would be a deal breaker now (whereas before, it was an accepted fact of ownership) I can only surmise there are 'other' reasons for the consternation all of a sudden.
These pics make the battery pack replacement look pretty dang simple. Pull the seats out, remove some trim, swap the pack, Bob's your uncle!
Or...a future upgrade battery pack! More powerful battery would "unlock" more power from the electric motors..
Although this has been this way since the LaF but just realized the battery leads aren't color coded (pwr/gnd). Maybe just to distinguish from low voltage wires but don't nick the wrong side!
Whilst it should be possible to install future batteries that have higher power density they will likely only give a longer range. More "power" would involve upgrading the circuitry to handle it unless it has been designed for future upgrades but that would cannibalise new models. Of course with an extended EV range you could drive the car longer in qualifying mode so you get the existing top performance for more time
These are consumable cars, it is obvious that when it is necessary to replace the batteries, the brakes, the electronic bugs, the turbos... the costs will be such for a mass-produced car with no future in collection, that there will be no more buyer opposite on the second hand market. Do you think they will have a state of mind to sell the parts as expensive as possible ... moreover they have been doing it for a while !!! You have to look the truth in the face...
I suggest a horse drawn carriage for you sir. You will only have to change the horse every 10 years...
