Tesla plans to make batteries cheap enough for a $25,000 car

<i>“In the new design, by contrast, the battery cells themselves will be the structural support. &quot;It effectively glues the cells to the top and bottom sheet&quot; using a &quot;structural adhesive,&quot; Musk said.”</i><p>Sounds like a challenge for repairability.<p>Also, do the irreplaceable batteries in iPhones and MacBooks provide structural support, too?

I like the way that Ars headlines the exciting claims, but also includes the boring facts. For example, that these claims would represent basically industry standard progress on price&#x2F;kwh, and that 3 years from Elon Musk is not a useful claim, and that Tesla is stating several mutually exclusive claims.
