Tesla already tried out a battery swap thing. It never made it.

I think it goes back to a liability thing again.

Dealing with the high output that cars and trucks require. I don’t imagine a press in connector would get a green light since it also has to deal with vibration and elements.

So to swap a battery it would require connectors that are torqued to a specific amount and follow a specific procedure.

Not something that would be allowed by all the nanny states we living if it was being done by customers or a “pump jockey”

So I would foresee licensed techs or special “training” and a flat rate fee plus the bill for the charge. Would 100 bucks cover that? I doubt it.

batteries suffer from entropy, gasoline does not.

I hate buying tires. Always feel like I pay way too much

[ChickenLips]

tires are the cheapest upgrade, treat yourself

^ Been very fortunate to find new take offs last couple sets I've needed.
What size ya need?

Likely going that route also. Found 1000km old 275/55/20 Bridgestone duelers on kijiji. Hopefully the guy still has them.
I guess $800 isn’t terrible

For me it's the fact that no matter how much research you do you still can't be sure if you'll like them. I've largely been happy with tire purchases but there is always that bit of worry that I'll end up disliking them and I'll be stuck with them for a few years.
