There’s also a downside to LFP batteries: They charge significantly slower. There was a report in Germany about Teslas with LFP packs only achieving 73kW on average. For some trips this means 50% longer charging times.

I believe there was an issue with earlier software but current models meet or exceed the NCA batteries in charge rate with a 80kw average. Also 73kw is not 50% slower.
