Tesla Model S – Cost of Ownership vs. Honda Odysse...
It doesn't cost $1000. What you're paying for is R&D. Just like a Windows 8 DVD doesn't cost hundred of dollars to make

The implicit claim being that Tesla does not factor in R&D when they charge consumers for replacements?

No, just pointing out that processed silicon does not cost Intel anything close to $1000.
Also I doubt R&D cost for an electric motor is high because the technology is mature.
