Battery Swap Now in Beta

[dhanson865]

I don't get this. It's a pilot with one location. It's in a convenient location for Tesla to maintain the equipment, determine how well it works and make incremental improvements based on real-life circumstances and gauge customer reaction. It's where there's a high density of Model S drivers.

They're a California company. Why would they do a single station pilot anywhere else?

I'm not asking them to put it anywhere else. My post was in reply to the suggestion that battery swap capability would hurt sales of 85 KWh Model S.

I was just saying the program is too small to have any affect on sales of the 85 KWh model.

You are leaping to unwarranted conclusions.

I think you are lost. Please try to read prior posts in the thread for context.

I suggest you read posts #15, 16, 18, 35 and this post for the context needed to understand that you are trying to refute something I never implied.

I'm surprised there aren't any pictures yet. I'd just like to see this thing at least!
