  • government regulation to force companies to begin using a modular system

    Yeah, that’s fair. But the issue is also similar to cell phones.

    Each battery is unique because it needs to fit the unique layout of the vehicle. Not to mention the battery tech is moving so fast, that the chemistry of the battery itself is changing every few years.

    I suspect China’s approach to a vehicle where you hot-swap the batteries instead of charging will be the way it goes. Someone will do it, it will be most $$$ efficient and therefore profitable, and then it will force them all to adopt the same approach.


  • The replacing the battery is simply a supply issue.

    There is such a demand and so little supply, that if you want to buy just a battery (and not the entire car) you are out of luck. They’ll put that battery in a new car and sell it before selling it to you as a replacement.

    But that’s short term. There are a huge number of battery plants already breaking ground and coming online.

    In 2 years or so, the price to replace the battery will be a HELL of a lot lower, and the issue you linked above will be long gone.

    Current VR headsets don’t really produce text you’d want to read?

    Yes they do. I currently have one that is perfectly fine readable.

    Yeah, I can have multiple monitors in VR setting.

    But what hasn’t happened is

    1 - No one has made an app with a camera passthrough window to your desk.

    2 - Windows for some reason still has a problem with multi-monitors unless you actually physically have monitors mounted.
