You can do the math and figure out what makes sense for you. At $4k per month you’ve paid for the car in 18 months, although things like tires will add a significant amount to your costs, too.
The thing to remember is that the batteries don’t just up and die, they degrade. Time, temperature, state of charge and charge cycles are the enemies. Based on reports I’ve seen I’d expect you could easily get 150-200k on a battery.
