Still rumor and speculation but excited nonetheless. Predicting Cybertruck 1 million-mile battery

So let’s say a person is okay owning a pickup truck for many years. Doesn’t feel the need to change to the bigger distraction screen and bigger than a Kenworth’s grille (look underneath - they still come with wagon springs ... except that stupid air ride the class 8 world hasn’t figured out is no good - I digress)...
Everything turns relatively slow in an electric wheel end motor vehicle, nothing really reciprocates, the main propulsion uses electron pressure which should still be around in 20 years ... lower vibration frequency, and wear rpm, no corrosive gas exhaust system, no leaking fuel system, no prop shaft, no hydraulic transmission or steering system (or brakes?) no gear reduction axles with bearings failing, no leaking radiator, no it’s too cold it won’t start, no idling, ...
The main issue now is battery and recharge technology...
What if battery technology keeps evolving and your 10 year old EV can have new tech swapped in vs a total replacement of the vehicle?
What if the 4 cylinder engine in my mid 2000’s Ford Model A 1/4 ton pickup ( Ranger ) has more power and efficiency and lifespan than my neighbors restored 1928 Model A pickup?
