Look Bud, you obviously have no experience in swapping batteries. You are probably thinking of BetterPlace who did NOT operate a 7SSSS system. They treated battery swaps as engineering maintenance projects, not a fast swap in 7 seconds.

Batteries are not cheap - replacements cost about $10,000 and they weigh half a ton. The car has to be stronger and heavier just to carry the excessively large battery.
