May I remind you of the promised 90 second battery swap…13 years ago? https://youtu.be/Oj6LaYFall4?si=RGE8mbZQFdElq0sq

That wasn't a product they were going to sell to customers.

  • The car certainly was (it had to ship with the capability, which it never did). And besides, your point is irrelevant.

    • A bunch of the Model S production vehicles did ship with the capability. It was removed from later models. So that part absolutely shipped. Tons of cars on the road to this day still have the hardware in the car to support it.

      And they did build one pilot station that did the battery swaps and did some swaps with real owners cars, but drivers didn't like the idea so they abandoned it.

      And yes to my point, I said Tesla product, namely something that is sold to customers as is. So yeah it's relevant.
