I actually prefer Jason's video because you can better see the mechanics of the battery swap.
Any fear of curb rash from those guide rails?!
Elon said something about the cost of the battery swap but I didn't understand because my English is not so good. What did he say?

I think it's between $60-$80 USD, but then you have to return the battery pack after your trip or you pay the full difference between your old and new battery pack. Not sure yet what that means (if you already have an 85 kWh pack, what difference are you paying?), but the idea is that if you don't want to wait 30 minutes or whatever for supercharging you can pay $80USD and be on your way in less than two minutes. Pretty cool, although I'm still curious as to how they store all those batteries underneath, how they know which battery is yours when you return etc. Questions I'm sure that will eventually get answered.
Funny how $60 to swap out a battery seems like alot of money, but that's about what I routinely pay to fill up my gas tank.
I assume you mean to fill your tank from empty. You could be at a swap station with 25 or 50% of a charge left in your existing pack that you are leaving behind. Not complaining, but pointing out that $60 US (more like $80 in Canada) could "buy" you 300 to 400 miles of "range" in gasoline.
