Nobody really believes this. EV battery will be no different than your laptop and iPhone.
You don’t think the battery (both size and battery life) in the 2007 iPhone and the 2017 iPhone X were different?
nobody really knows what the true battery “replacement” costs will be in 8-10 years when the biggest batch of these Teslas start to reach degradation points.
battery tech advancements, number of places to do repairs, secondary markets for rebuilt batteries, will all be at play. but that unknown is a big “risk” in buying a Tesla or EV at this point, the depreciation and long term costs don’t have a lot of data points yet

I’m not arguing they’re the same. I’m arguing nobody’s trying to retrofit old tech. When’s the last time your replaced the battery from something you bought in 2017? The idea can probably be tested pretty easily. What is the replacement cost for a Tesla roadster battery? After 15, years it should be cheaper now than 2010, right?
