the one pain point would be the batteries, and those have no reason to not be easily maintainable and highly universal. They're all modular and often times even using the same cell types.

I've heard that they all use standard 18650 cells, just many of them.

18650 of 21700 yeah.

Some of them use rather proprietary cells, the cybertruck for instance. Uses really large cells.

But generally it's very easy to standardize it.
