Great points. Re safety, I wasn't imagining the consumer doing it themselves but some robot like ones imagined for whole-battery swapping (e.g. https://youtu.be/Oj6LaYFall4); I think any battery swapping only makes sense for batteries you rent rather than own.

What does "imagined" mean? Nio has been doing automatic battery swaps on a mass scale for years.
