Tesla seems to have faded it out of their roadmap. Cool tech but people seem to want to own the battery since it's a sizeable part of the investment in a car.
Europeans are different in that battery appears to be seen as a liability and therefore leased.
At stake is how much fast charging you use, as that seems to be what has the largest impact on the battery's life.
