According to Google, if you replace the battery with AA batteries, you'd need 25,000+ batteries... that'll take some time to replace... also the more batteries you have, the more potential failure points you have

The big batteries are already made up of smaller batteries internally.

Ok but you wouldn't connect 25000 AA batteries in series (ok, I would), that limits the failure points a bit.

Go watch a how it's made on Tesla or Rivian batteries. Connecting them in series/parallel is exactly what they do.

Yes but not all in series. For 25000 AA batteries that would give you about 37kV, you probably don't want/need so much.

Tesla packs are 100Kw.
