    It’s quite obviously cheaper to not make it replaceable, otherwise they would do it globally. Companies are not that spiteful when it comes to money. The battery is probably already theoretically replaceable by repair shops with special tool or whatever, there was just an opening in the hull missing. So it’s likely just one or two pieces that have to be manufactured differently, the rest can stay the same.

      It’s not because it’s cheaper, it’s because it’s harder to repair. They don’t want you to be able to repair your stuff, they want you to replace it.
