Yes, that’s why I said I am willing to pay a little more than 25k for the base model if they don’t touch battery-related components. Lower range, sure, but not important core things like battery cooling. It’s like buying a gas car where the base model has a smaller coolant capacity. Essential stuff should be the same across all trims.
The battery heating/cooling systems are significantly more expensive to add than anything trim related.
