Have they rolled out battery swapping yet?

• phkahler 12y ago
  Battery swapping is dumb. It's like propane tank exchange, except the price is reversed. With propane the tank is relatively cheap and you don't care so much if you get somebody elses used one. With battery costing in the neighborhood of $10K it's a bit different. OTOH if they were to automatically recycle the ones with diminished capacity it may be somewhat more acceptable. But doesn't it still seem a bit odd?

    DC fast charging like in the supercharger is kinda hard on the battery. It doesn't void the warranty, of course, because then Tesla would be in the ridiculous position of stating that their own chargers damage their cars, but you shouldn't be doing it very often. With battery swapping, you can charge the battery nice and slow.
