Because LIDAR is expensive. If camera-based neural networks eventually get good enough that LIDAR provides minimal additional value, they will drop it. This is what Musk is betting on. We're not there yet for sure, and it's not cl

The Model S and X were designed so that the battery can be swapped from below, and Tesla ran one station for several years where you could get this done. That station closed sometime in or around 2016 and they haven't talked about it s
