    Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was something like 600$, but as said, supposedly this isn't an issue in the Netherlands, so my only source is hearsay and a failing memory. (Whenever I remember things incorrectly, I blame it on chemo brain...)

    I just bought one. Not sure if it was the right decision or not but a new pack was going to cost me $ 1,699.70 plus 5-600 to ship it. I wanted to keep my old pack so that was going to be another $1300. We drive for Uber, Lyft & DoorDash and have put as much as 5000 miles on the car in a month so I guess we will find out sooner than others if it was worth it.
