There has been this myth around that 'structural' means 'non replaceable'. This is complete nonsense made up by ignorant people who dislike Tesla.
Structural packs are nothing new, even cars like the iPace have structural packs and so do many. Hell even the Model S was structural and that had a swapable battery. Tesla or BYD structural packs are no different.
The actual innovation when people talk about 'structural packs' nowdays is that the cell themselves are part of the structure. However, this has nothing to do with how the pack is connected to the car.
Sadly the discussion on these topic gets totally confused by people endlessly repeating the same myths without understanding what they are talking about.
Just don't get into a car crash without the pack inside.
