Have them lower from under the vehicle so you drive over a pit like an oil change and they lower the batteries on a hydraulic lift or something like that.

They've done it. People weren't terribly interested. Costs too much for customers and Tesla isn't interested in negative revenue programs to make it affordable.
80% charge in 20 minutes not good enough?
Probably 400-500 miles in 20-30 minutes for the new Roadster.
Mind you, you'll have a full battery every morning upon waking up. How often do most people drive more than 200 or 300 miles in a day? I drive more than most daily, and I don't touch that.
