It is incredibly exciting that batteries are lasting so much longer than expected, and that we may be able to squeeze ~500k-1M miles out of packs from a capital and materials efficiency perspective.


A comment asks the obvious question

And another answers that Hyundai offered to swap the 360k mile battery that still had 87% health so they could study it.
