Rather worryingly, a guy over the road had a relative with a Tesla
staying over the Christmas break. Apparently he says the problem his
relative has had thus far is one cell going down needing the whole
battery to be replaced under the warranty. I don't know what
technology these batteries use, but it does beg the question that could
they fail and catch fire as laptop batteries used to? Anyone know?


There were stories about Tesla refusing to honour the warranty if the car
was left unused and not plugged in for a relatively sort period. Like say
parking up at an airport while you went on holiday.
