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

    Yes that’s exactly my point.

    Engineers speak of the traditional “Russian nesting doll” method of building battery packs: Start with the battery cells, which then are assembled into modules and finally loaded into a large pack. If that pack is mounted directly to the vehicle frame or body and helps to stiffen and strengthen it, it is a “structural” battery.

    That’s how batteries are made today. They’re still perfectly serviceable. Tesla’s batteries aren’t serviceable because they’re filled with impenetrable foam.

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