That's cool to see thanks - looks so easy to work on (provided you have the battery lift equipment)... So glad it's not a "structural" battery pack with all the cells glued together... or it would be there 3-4 weeks!

It is a structural element to the vehicle. If someone gets in there while the battery is removed, the vehicle can fold up. There are warnings against this very thing.

Didn’t mean to start a row. 😳
I think this may be down to semantics. Our battery cells go into a box that is part of the structure of the vehicle while Tesla uses the glued cells to become the structure. Both are structural elements but one would be more of a structural battery. And the other could be a structural battery container. Ours could have no cells in it and still have structure. Tesla’s can’t. This is one of those, I don’t know why you would, but you could, kind of things. Lol.
