You seem to be trying to imply adding (bolting or whatever) a incredibly stiff solid object to a car has no effect on its structural stiffness.
When are you going fully electric?

its not causing whats causing the recent price drops.
What or who....
If someone is going to lap up fake news without any filter, they are their own worse enemy.
Eh
You seem to confuse an engine block with a 1.3m wide battery pack. A battery pack isn’t ‘incredible’ stiff. But all batteries are structural. Tesla just marketed it like it’s special.

the way I see it .... and I expect you will know if it goes wrong as I will own it on here... but the way I see it it is only an issue IF the battery is a problem. if it is just FUD and lies, then there is no reason at all to be concerned about the battery.
at which point it isn't the fault of the car or the technology but social media and news sites peddling scare stories for clicks.
time will tell and like I said I will own it either way, I trust the technology which is not to say things dont fail but my car is now pushing 50,000 miles and is 3.5 years old. I plan on keeping it untill it is beyond economical repair.
it's 4.5 years before it will even be anything to think about anyway (battery wise) due to the warranty.
personally I am more concerned with the headlights and AC charging.

Well if we are picking single examples. a colleagues taycan broke down on a roundabout due to a module failure and took two months to replace the battery module. Certainly put his wife off another EV.the way I see it .... and I expect you will know if it goes wrong as I will own it on here... but the way I see it it is only an issue IF the battery is a problem. if it is just FUD and lies, then there is no reason at all to be concerned about the battery.

I have an EV. I don’t need convincing by some stories. I’m just reflecting the market and what’s happening in my opinion.

People who cannot afford new will go secondhand, yes they may be slightly concerned about the battery but no more than an ICE car that's got high mileage. The software should show what condition the battery is in better than just listening to an engine running.
Second hand sales do not impact new car sales. Residuals do.
If EVs growth is to be sustained the residuals need to be better. But this is going to be hard to solve
That's just the make of car tho and repair parts nothing more
Fuel tanks don’t get smaller as an ICE ages. And a ICE is relatively easy to repair. Again your view points are not reflecting the market where residuals are a concern
What does this even mean ? ‘Just the make of car and repair parts’. Yeah you need parts to fix a car
You don’t have an Ev yet you are arguing about their benefits with someone who’s got an EV ? Interesting view

Eh? Back at you.
12v battery isn't structural. I assume most mild hybrid batteries are not structural. Etc.
Marketing is marketing. In this case its not "untrue" in literal terms.
Squeezing another 1% of things is how Tesla gets their efficiency. Not entirely sure why anyone would take it personally.
I said nothing about the second hand market affecting the new market, just if you want something and have the money you will probably buy new. If not you will be going secondhand just the same as with ICE cars.
Are you trolling. I said all batteries in the context of EV. Not that Tesla have special structural batteries only which their marketing has suggested
All EVs have a structural main traction battery. It’s literally bolted to the bottom of the car. It’s also a battery pack of many modules. Which have cells within.

You don't need to own one to see what is going on in the world
What is going on? Are you seeing strong EV residuals ? I’m so lost what even points you and osprey are trying to even make now.
I know the what and have a good idea of the who
EVs have 12v batteries. Hybrids are EVs. Maybe don't be vague.
