  1. "If the battery were part of the structure, what happens when it can no longer hold a charge? If it isn't easily replaceable, the whole vehicle would have to be scrapped." And this doesn't only waste the vehicle but the battery too. A battery that has lost too much of its capacity to work in an EV can still e.g. be used as an energy storage in a home etc. However, if the battery is a part of the structure it can't easily be removed for such usage and might have an inconvenient shape if you still try that.

  2.  @tylern6420  "And this massless battery has mass" The claim wasn't quite (except for a clickbait title) that the battery wouldn't have mass but rather it wouldn't bring extra mass to the vehicle because it would double as a load bearing structural part (which you would need in any case). However, as explained by Thunderf00t even that doesn't really work because a battery doesn't have good properties for bearing mechanical loads.

  3.  @nicholasgardiner9601  At least the last one is more difficult if the battery were also a structural part.
