I’m wondering how long it’ll be before a full battery replacement for, let’s say, a Tesla model 3 is sub $5k. If it’s really advancing that fast the “$15k every 10 years for a new battery” stigma should be a non issue.

Oh a lot of us do. But a lot of us are stuck with mechanically poor vehicles to get to meager paying jobs 20 miles away with no public transport. Sad state we are in.
