than chemical destruction of the batteries.

Tesla must know its a scam/**** design or their warranty would cover it.
It's ******** to say it's the user's fault for not charging the system -
Tesla are completely in control as it is their electronics between the
batteries and everything else.

If you want to see what a liability owning one of these beasts is, have a
look at the roadster manual:-

http://tinyurl.com/roadster-manual

"When fully
charged, the Battery's charge level can drop
as much as 7% a day and 50% within the first
week. When the Battery's charge level falls
below 50%, the rate of decline slows down to
approximately 5% per week
"

Bloody hell. That's one hell of a leaky system.
