It's fully automated. The swapping and moving batteries to charge is done without humans involved. Even the car driving into the swapping bay is automatic these days.

And we’re getting more and more data saying that the expectations for battery life were pretty far off. They lasting far longer.

Imagine having to drive to a station each time you need to fill up your tank instead of just plugging it at home and letting it charge while you sleep.

I would not want to go back to a gas car.

Welcome to buying a computer.

My computers last more than 10 years because the parts are upgradeable, unfortunately that strategy doesn't work for cars

There isn’t any car you can “upgrade” after purchase.
