That is one of the reasons I liked the Taycan.
It certainly looks like the car was designed by Porsche to have a servicable battery block, which should be compatible with the Porsche objective of a 30 year life.
Probably a bit more expensive and bulky at first but should mean a 25 year old Taycan may well have had its battery refurbished and updated a couple of times and be a better car than the day it was sold.
Hope so anyway.
