<The battery cells are not that big issue in the Tesla packs. Tesla will not pay more than $100/kWh for their cells in the near future.> I wonder if Tesla has thought about selling these battery packs to people doing conversions? The future of converting regular cars could hinge on this. It probably would not be too difficult to incorporate their swapable pack into a DIY Conversion. Making swapable or not swapable depending in the customer. Of course there are two things that need to happen, a lot more conversions to make it worth while and Tesla seeing this as an opportunity to Sell lots of Batteries, BMS' and chargers. I saw ROYBI has a ELECTRIC DRILL battery pack that fits lots of different tools, their ONE+ system. If a bicycle company came up with an electric Bike that could run on their batteries wouldn't this be good for the company even though they don't make money on the bicycles. They could sell more batteries and charger.
