This is an outdated set of data. Teslas are routinely exceeding 200k miles with less than 10% range loss. Tesla is very near $100/kWh already and will probably reach that point by next year if they haven’t already.
Musk himself in one of his tweets last year projected a battery replacement cost of $5,000-$7,000 per module.
The Model 3 has 4 modules for a 50 kWh-75 kWh battery pack, depending on trim.
I'm assuming Musk's lower figure refers to the smallest battery pack, the higher figure for the largest.
$20,000 to replace a 50 kWh battery pack (or $28,000 to replace a 75 kWh one) isn't anywhere near $100/kWh.
