Battery Swap [video]
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.
