I would imagine weight. Battery packs are fucking heavy. Tesla is planning to use structural battery packs which effectively replaces part of the frame itself with batteries. Swappable batteries would be the opposite where it would require more weight than a nonstructural battery pack.

Plus imagine the infrastructure needed. You'd need to build service stations with magazines of 1000 pound batteries and robots that can remove and install them built into the ground.

And even if you bought the car you'd be leasing the battery otherwise you'd drive a brand new battery off the lot and next time you need a swap your brand new battery is replaced with an old battery which would suck donkey balls.
