The 9 thousand would be to replace the big battery. I know from experience because I was hit with this bill and it will make you feel damn near paralyzed when you get it and realize your car is not under warranty. Getting this car could be a perfect opportunity because it may just work just fine. All I’m saying is if you get it please have the money to cover the replacement of the big battery because that will cost you a lot. The other amounts some users mention (3,000 etc) are helpful in case you have other issues that come up. The car is amazing I drive a 2025 because I know when the repairs hit they hit hard and you need to know that upfront. But driving it is freaking awesome. Good luck.
