Apologies if this post or something similar is somewhere on the forums, I couldn't find one.
Based on the history of the generation one RAV4 EV, I had some concerns when I went out to buy my RAV4 EV. I like to plan ahead with things, so I was thinking. If I wanted to replace the Tesla-built battery in 5-10 years... would I still be able to purchase this battery from a Toyota Authorized dealer? What about 10+ years? Is Toyota and Tesla going to continue their partnership for the entire life of any of these cars sold?
It's interesting, because (assuming) Tesla is going to be around for awhile, what are the actual contract agreements between these two large companies.
It might be pessimistic, but again I am someone who likes to plan very far ahead with things of this nature. Does anyone have any insight on this? I am trying to communicate directly with some people in Toyota but I doubt that will go anywhere.
