Tesla always charged me $13 for this — two CR2016 cells at $6.50 each.
Same, for some reason they only gave me one this year. I'm not complaining - as you mentioned they don't need to be replaced at all.

Some of the things Tesla does seem to be completely opposite from Elon's vision. Overcharging for unnecessary wiper blades is not "operating from first principles". The ill will generated is not worth the few dollars they collect. Anyone try contacting him directly about some of this stuff?

Tesla always charged me $13 for this — two CR2016 cells at $6.50 each. (For context, on Amazon you can get a ten-pack of CR2016’s from a reputable manufacturer like Maxell for about $5.)
The irony is that I have one Roadster key on my keyring, which I use, and another Roadster key by itself, which I don’t use, which is the one I leave when the car is being serviced.
So, the key I use is still on the original cells and is still working fine, but the key I don’t use has had its unused cells thrown in the trash every year. (At $13/yr, that adds up to $65 over five years.)
Just in case anyone else used this as a prompt to change the key batteries, my 1.5 Roadster key does not use CR2016 type. It uses CR1616 (2 per key fob).
I think it's a good idea to replace them every year, or at least every other year. Have you ever had one go dead? It's a pain.
Even better is to buy rechargeable batteries like eneloop for things like TV remotes. They should last many many years and can then be recycled. Many places won't accept traditional alkaline batteries anymore for recycling it seems.
The PEM really needs a user serviceable filter that prevents anything from getting in there in the first place.
Who did your key antenna thing? I asked costa mesa for that before, they said there's nothing which can be done.
