Yup! Huge bias showing. Suggesting that an entire EV battery would ever go to a landfill is incredibly dishonest. The cost is high because Tesla is swapping the whole thing out (fast) and then location the damage and "surgically" fixing it as the article tries to say can't be done with EVs. That battery pack will end up swapped into another car. The article leans into battery degradation despite all current research showing EV batteries lasting 40% longer than the manufacturers estimates. 20 years becomes 28 years, 10 years becomes 14. The average ICE car lifespan is 14 years. How is a battery pack that outlives an entire ICE car a worrisome thing? Only if you buy into oil propaganda and Fox fear-mongering. That said, Elon's obvious hand motions are a perfectly valid reason to avoid the Neo-Volkswagens of 'Merica.
