Shai Agassi would better serve better place by introducing a retrofit for existing vehicles. It should be easy enough to replace a fuel tank with a battery system and then drop in an EV motor in place of the internal combustion engine linking up to the existing drive train.
The problem with the above idea is that most cars will be moving to a system where four motors are contained within the wheel along with suspension making for a more modular car with better traction and handling.
More importantly the cars will be more reliable.
Every car will have four motors. Should one of the motors die, one would simply drive with less power and either rear or front wheel drive only disabling the paired motor.
Motors could now also be rotated to ensure even wear.
Just an idea for now, but we'll see what happens in the near future.
