You are just negative without even checking the facts.

The point that comes clear from the video is that the vast majority of packs do 300,000 miles of hard use and hard charging without any discernible degradation at all.

Tesla battery packs, and all other batteries built to that standard, are no longer wear items. Battery replacement should be the exception, not the norm.

Once EV build costs get near or below ICE build costs there's no stopping them.
Everywhere there's electricity there can be EVs. The availability of EVs will only help electrify poor countries.
What happens when people keep driving when the batteries should be replaced? A lot of people here like to drive until the car gives up. Would the batteries potentially short and catch fire?

The only people that will own EVs in poor countries will be the rich.
