Currently, I have minimal degradation and don't need more range (85 pack). So it is hard to justify replacing it at this point with no obvious issues (176k miles and counting with regular supercharging).

The only 057 option available is the 100 pack upgrade for $22k, plus cost of round trip vehicle transportation from CA. As noted, this price/option is only available while my current pack is still functioning. I love the idea of the 100 pack and faster supercharging but am how do you justify spending $22k in this situation?

If I continue to drive/use my existing pack until it malfunctions and have my local Tesla service center replace it for $15k with a 4yr/50k warranty, doesn't that make more sense? Unless I am missing something here.
How about getting the paid battery warranty?
