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. Model Y was first with structural battery but others like Volvo and BMW are coming soon.
Right so then “EVs”= “Tesla”? That’s the argument you want to go with?
I didn’t present anything as obvious. Just a matter of fact.
…which is easy enough?

I specifically DIDN’T say that! You said this:
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.
