Comment on Fear Mongering About Range Anxiety Has To Stop — CT Governor Calls Out EV Opponents

The Model Y has a structural battery pack. That is the battery is integral to the car, and filled with an almost impossible to remove foam. It is unrepairable and un replaceable. Musk has said when the battery dies, you scrap the entire car and they recycle the lithium from the scrap.

You’re conflating Tesla with “EVs”. Simply don’t buy a Tesla if that’s what you want.

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

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