Right so then “EVs”= “Tesla”? That’s the argument you want to go with?

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.
