Smarter that the team Musk has at Tesla ?Methinks the engineers are smart enough to make it work without losing range. I suspect you're neither a mechanical nor electrical engineer so you have no idea what the constraints would be.
Case closed.
It likely is a massive fail as a business model. You have a very expensive niche product that few regularly need or can likely afford, so you end up with near zero customers.
Robots at Amazon fulfillment warehouses have been doing just that for over a decade, so we are over a decade into doing that. The question is how we would do it with the more powerful car EV batteries, which are also less standardized, and have more commercial questions. The ideas are being tested now, not decades from now.

Anything is possible I guess.
But finding a way to either compress the cubic inches or reduce the weight seems unlikely.
Swappable fuel cells make a lot more sense for hydrogen. Those are about the size of two LP tanks like on your outdoor grill.
Actually, methinks the battery swapping technology is at least 20 years away. Battery technology is improving every year and I'm confident that batteries will be significantly smaller in 10 years while yielding the same charge. But they still have to deploy all the swapping stations and that's a big deal. But whatever makes things easier for the masses, that's what the market will gravitate towards.
But the bottom line is: The ICE car is dying a slow and painful death and nothing can stop it.

So many dont just not have a garage, they dont have a perm parking space.....for many finding parking at all is a daily challenge. In Seattle now they are building apartment complexes with zero parking spaces, as a part of the war on cars.
War on cars ? You rightys never stop.
As I said....
That is the way you replace a car battery meant to be replaced as maintenance. You go through complex steps to replace oil, because that too is meant as maintenance. If you are replacing a battery that is meant to be replaced as refueling, it will be designed to be very simple, much like refueling gasoline does not require you to remove the gas tank from the car.
Only with even moderate intelligence would have figured that out. I am not saying you have below average intelligence, but you clearly are telling us you have below average intelligence.
You are nuts!
Walt is a liar.
Sometimes I think Walt is the product of too many acid trips and has never come down...

In a year, the charge time has dropped dramatically. I guess gas fans will think the technology is done.
If those fucksticks on the Left think that some slum lord, or low rent apartment owner in the gunfire district is going to put in chargers, the Left is nucking futs. Those are guys that avoid any and all costs on their properties. They're skinflints that do the minimum to stay out of jail. They won't put in charging stations. Hell, they won't upgrade 75 year old electrical systems in their rental units. Expecting them to do something like put in charging stations is insane.
