There have been a few highly publicized situations where the pack gets damaged (road damage), and is not covered. The replacement is more the new car.
replyI think it’s overblown. A combination of it all just being new and getting figured out, and manufacturers selling the cars at a loss (for various reasons), but not the spare parts.

replyIsn't that also true if the engine and transmission also took significant road damage and requires replacement on an ICE BMW?
replyBreaking news: expensive components of cars are expensive.
Crate engines sell for between $3000 and $12000 for cars. Transmissions $2000 to $5000. (Prices from the first source I found, a reasonable sample range but I suspect you can find things outside the range) In stock and ready to pick-up today at a warehouse near you.
replyThey are expensive, but rarely more than the car is new.
replyAnd in the account I read they had simply run over some unknown road debris on a highway. Something most people could imagine happening to them.
