Which variable(s) are you optimizing by right sizing the battery? It's one thing for a hobbyist to convert a Jaguar to an EV and a very different thing to mass produce EVs to make a profit.
These cars will undoubtedly be people's daily drivers, reliability and range are the priority, the guy with the Jaguar is probably more ok with his car dying on the side of the road.
Allowing lay people to select battery size doesn't seem like a good idea IMHO.
Re: swappable batteries, I think it's niche at best and at worst, a problem looking for a solution. You could swap out a full gas tank for an empty one, but why do that?
