Seems like artists would have some way of setting up shows outside of Ticketmaster’s control.

So it’s more of a milestone to catch early battery degradation rather than a cutoff point below which the battery is labeled useless?

What’s so bad about 80% of the original capacity? Wouldn’t there be a lot of use cases for a car with 80% of the range?

I’m glad to see any second use for these batteries before recycling. Gotta combat the narrative that “an EV battery is trash after 5 years!”

Strongly agree. Someone has to break the cycle of abuse, it’s wrong to contribute to the cycle so that it can continue harming others in the future.

Edit, one example that comes to mind is the extremely long shifts in the medical field in America. One guy who was really good at being a doctor happened to be someone who voluntarily took on very long hours. Now there is this persistent mindset that every medical worker must accept long hours and double shifts without notice and without complaints.

There are a few cases where it benefits the patient to avoid handing off the case to another doctor, but generally it just limits the pool of people who are willing to go into the medical field, and limits the career length and lifespan of the people who do go for it.
