Battery replacement

[Tommybo]

How hard will it be to replace the 4680? With the body of the truck it could last 20 years if the batteries could be somewhat reasonable to replace.

Look at it this way, how many people do you see swapping S/X packs?

There is a reason people just get rid of them and buy new cars.

Indications are the batteries are glued into the frame as a structural support. Not coming out, and with million-mile longevity you'll just get rid of it and buy a new truck.

They have to have a way to replace the packs under warranty. How many years is the million mile pack. If I own the truck for 20 years and never reach a million miles and the battery fails I get a new battery. If the pack can't be removed I get a new truck. Either way it is a win for me

LOL @ “million mile” longevity.
