Elon agrees:

"Countries should be increasing nuclear power generation! It is insane from a national security standpoint & bad for the environment to shut them down."

I'm not sure (yet) how their battery swap subscription model works, but basically, you buy the car and subscribe to batteries.
That'd be great! Maybe a bit more affordable that way. I saw an article yesterday where someone had a battery replaced and it costed $29,000

Found it:
