I think that is the question. The Nissan Leaf gave the entire industry a bad taste because they did not (and still do not) actively cool their batteries. I'm not sure we ever recovered from that. They lasted like 40k miles. So that's the perception that we're battling, that batteries only last ~100k miles vs. ICE powertrains that last twice as long.

That didn't stop Nissan to conclude that the batteries lasted twice as long as the rest of the car. The number of (newish# cars taken out of traffic each year is higher than we expect.
