Why would you swap your battery in a 100 mile trip when the model s has much more range than 100 miles on a single charge.



Your new fully charged battery pack, yes. But they degrade. What are you getting from the station? Can you even tell? Pay $40 and end up with a half-capacity battery maybe.

So, use a bigger number than 100, it helps some, but not tremendously.


The max Model S range is 265 miles. That's tremendously larger than 100.
