    Given Tesla’s market share, your claim that easily replaced batteries is “typical” isn’t accurate. A large percentage isn’t replaceable so it’s something consumers should consider when choosing a brand.

      Tesla is one of dozens of brands. So no.

      it’s something consumers should consider when choosing a brand.

      Yes but we weren’t discussing “choosing a brand”, we were discussing EVs.

        Tesla is 50% of all EV’s sold. So, yes.

        Yes but we weren’t discussing “choosing a brand”,

        That’s the point! You presented “swap a new battery” as obvious to the the OP when it’s not obvious. You have to first pick a brand that allows that. Model Y was first with structural battery but others like Volvo and BMW are coming soon.

          Right so then “EVs”= “Tesla”? That’s the argument you want to go with?

          You presented “swap a new battery” as obvious to the the OP

          I didn’t present anything as obvious. Just a matter of fact.

          You have to first pick a brand that allows that.

          …which is easy enough?

          Model Y was first with structural battery but others like Volvo and BMW are coming soon.
