Did Tesla apply for a new patent for the battery switch?

Recently, overseas media exposed Tesla's new progress in quickly replacing power batteries. The newly developed battery switch can replace the battery within 15 minutes. It is reported that Tesla has submitted a patent application for this technology.

In fact, at 20 13, Tesla had the idea of faster and faster power batteries. The initial "assumption" was to be completed within 90 seconds, but the actual implementation could not be realized. The battery switch of this exposure has undergone a series of improvements, and the most intuitive advantages are three points: First, it is more convenient for technicians to operate; The second is to lift the vehicle to facilitate the inspection of the overall situation of the battery pack; Thirdly, the switch itself is more compact, more mobile and occupies less area.

The appearance of this battery switch will fill the blank area of Tesla super charging station and deal with the emergency of "passive" power failure. In the future, it will be possible to replace the power battery in the trailer within 15 minutes. In other words, the demand of users to "actively" improve travel efficiency only applies to MODEL S and MODEL X at this stage.
