    Given Tesla’s market share, your claim that easily replaced batteries is “typical” isn’t accurate.

    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.
