Not true, they did have a real battery swap station just off i-5 (between SF and LA) near Kettleman City. I don't think many people used it, however.

- dragontamer 5y agoThat was only open to select members and required a reservation. It never was a viable model, or even open to public service. And we all know that swapping $15,000 batteries out for free ain't a valid business model and never will be a valid business model. It was a project designed to maximize the California incentives and minimize the costs to Tesla for obtaining that money. ------ I hope that the citizens of California learned their lesson. But even if they refuse to learn, I've learned very much from that episode.
