There's one more factor: Dont I have to do a mandatory roundtrip so that I can return the individual batteries to Tesla? Thats the way their battery swap program works at the moment.
- boucher 13y agoThe battery swap is not the 30 minute charge time, it's an actual charge of your own battery (the swap is a lot faster than 30 minutes). I don't think battery swap is currently available at these charge locations?
- secabeen 13y agoCorrect. There are no battery swap stations in service anywhere at the present time.
- ceph_ 13y agoThe article isn't about their battery swap program. Its about their fast charge network.
- latj 13y agoOops, I totally missed that part. It sounds more realistic now.
- ajcarpy2005 13y agoSpeculative: if Elon Musk's hyperloop vision happens, batteries could be loaded into pods and shipped most of their journey that way.
