Would you care to elaborate?

 

I think the issue is battery life cycle.  A NMC battery will putter out after significantly fewer charges than a LFP battery.  It's a slightly higher performer, but will need to be replaced much sooner.

And depth of discharge. And general safety. And it basically degrades like shit even after getting to 80%, it falls off a cliff, lithium keeps going for a while.

Serious question: what type do other EVs use?

It's a mix.

Tesla uses LFP for their shortrange model 3 and Y, and NMC for the longer range versions.  Rivian uses LFP.  Chevy Equinox and Blazer use NMC, Nissan Leaf has historically used NMC but is supposed to be switching to LFP in 2026, BMW i3 uses NMC.
