&gt; you can simply replace the battery for a full one.<p>I don&#x27;t think so. The Tesla Model S batteries are <i>everywhere</i> through the chassis. There is no single &quot;battery&quot; to replace. It would be major surgery to swap batteries - you&#x27;d have to remove the passenger compartment from the lower frame. The car is not designed for that form of &quot;refueling&quot;.
