I haven’t decided whether that was hilarious or tragic. I expect most people might think “why not just look in the owners manual?”. Back in the late 70s early 80s, depending on where you were, some...

I think in the short term dropping a battery will be the technical equivalent of dropping an engine and/or transmission. Replacing battery modules will be the equivalent of swapping out a crankshaft.
