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.

Still, should keep the frost out of the garage during the winter months!

OOOPs!

"Operating temperature
Driving: -1°F to 122°F (-17°C to 50°C)
Charging: 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C)"

If it goes below 0°C and the battery needs charging - your fu$%ed!
