The $2000USD figure is approximately correct. We've run the numbers to be between $800-3200 depending on the weight of the battery, and how difficult it is to disassemble. 3200 for a 700kg Porsche Tycan battery.

(My cofounder and I launched a company to disassemble the batteries robotically, if you're interested in helping us build it, please message me).

As an FYI there's no way to directly message capability here on HN so if you're interested in people being able to reach you you might want to put some form of contact info in your profile.

Yep, though - to be fair - it is not much difficult to find his company's site by searching for the user name, "andrawes bahou"+ "batteries".
