I tried reading some opinions on that when it was first announced. I found there were some varying opinions on the term "structural" as to how the pack is used in conjunction with the castings to crated a stiffer structure but may still be replaceable. On the surface it doesn't sound great, but has to be replaceable/repairable or they wouldn't go down that production path (I hope).Still a bit new to the EV world, but...if a newer Tesla needed a HV battery replacement it would mean 'car' replacement, since the pack is structural, correct? I'm skeptical of the structural battery...I like the fact that Rivian can change out the pack.
