"Give up your brand new $10k battery, for someone else's charged but worn old one".

Seems like an unwelcome offer.

No-one wants to own a depreciating asset like a battery. The model would be something like "pay $x/year and any member of our nationwide network will swap out your battery for a battery with at least 100 miles' worth of charge, whenever you want". They can take care of replacing worn-out batteries on their side.
