You can’t even change the battery in a Chevy Uplander in less than 60 minutes. Have to remove the fuse box and a fender to grill brace first.

likely that’s a design issue the next tesla car will address head on.
At the present time, the swap out feature wouldn’t be something I would pursue. You’ve just explained the reason why. In time it may be an active feature, but I’m not holding my breath. It will be a considerable amount of time before an electric gets highway distance type mileage.
Use a 9/16" socket wrench to remove the bolts holding the corner cross-frame bar located above the battery. There are two bolts on the front of the bar and one bolt on the back of the bar behind the fuse panel box. Slide the cross-frame bar out from under the fuse panel box removing it from the engine compartment. Use caution when removing the bar to avoid damaging the fuse panel box including the wires under the box. Set the bar aside for later use.
The passenger side turn-signal bulb is interesting also but is changed easily once you read the instructions.
