You can see them very easily at dusk. It’s dark enough but they are still in sunlight making them very clearly visible.
There is always one or more easily visible (by design).
Note that growing ingots is an incredible feat at that purity and size that they achieve on earth.
It’s already a very very hard step in a crazy process for entire chip manufacturing.

I think it’s eating the extra buffer but that also means that the worse degradation that happens in first year is « free ».
Then stats are a few percents per 100k miles….
There are articles about stats on long term degradation - it’s a non issue. Buy used if you can in USA - people perceive them as degraded so price is cheap but they don’t degrade fast
This is completely avoided and not my experience.
This is only because the leaf is not actively cooled.
Most ev do not suffer from such difficult management of battery and have a computer dedicated to cool / heat and keep battery in healthy temps.
They do degrade over time but very, very slowly. Absolutely not like phones.
Mine has 25k miles and zero degradation yet.
