I know when the cost of electricity is considered the cost per mile when driving the Tesla Roadster is amazing (granted, the vehicle costs a fortune to buy in the first place)…
But what about if you consider the cost of replacement batteries? Is this information even available out there? How many miles are the batteries expected to last for?

Unfortunately there is no information available for the cost of the replacement battery pack for the Tesla Roadster. However, if you find out this information along with the expected lifetime of the pack, you can amortize the cost of the battery pack per mile (by dividing cost of battery pack by number of miles in its lifetime) and then adding that to the cost per mile that you calculate without battery information.
