Battery packs could be swapped out and charged out of the vehicle. This would make a lot of sense.

- alexanderstears 9y agoIt would make a lot of sense, but Tesla already floated the idea and decided not to pursue it [0]. That seems like a lot of work just to make a bad technology 'good enough'. Swapping bad batteries for more charged bad batteries doesn't change the fact that batteries are a bad technology.
