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

  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.

    I specifically didn’t say that! You said this:

    Like by the time you need a new one there will be several affordable third party options that will also increase your range.

    You didn’t qualify that with “only if you buy a model that doesn’t have a structural battery.”

    Volvo and BMW are coming soon.

      Yes that’s exactly my point.

        So your argument has been that you agreed with me the entire time? Ok.
