How big and how heavy are the batteries. And is it worth the effort?

Will this be like the copiers where the ink cartridges are the biggest expense??

Can "old" batteries be re-celled?

I read recently about an Israeli company that tried the same concept: a network of battery-swap stations. I believe they're going bankrupt. And that's in a tiny country.

I'm not predicting Tesla's future by any means, but this has been tried and I think it shows just how unready this technology is for mass use.
