Tradeoff between weight, battery life, and battery lifetime. I'm glad phone manufacturers heavily optimize for the first 2 and not the latter.

- ZeroGravitas 9y agoI'm sure that one of the Tesla founders stated that one of the reasons that device batteries failed after a couple of years is because longer life wasn't prioritized by the companies buying them and so not much effort was put into that dimension. You can spin this in a bad way ("planned obsolescence") or a good way (they were optimising for other things that customers valued), but the point remains the same, if car manufacturers (or grid storage units) require longer lifetimes, then it's not a hard physical limit at the current lifetimes that's been hit yet.
