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.
