When the lower cost mommy-mobiles hit the street it'll be a different story I'm
sure.
I think the opposite. The middle class drives their cars daily or at least
weekly.

Of course, it never made any sense that a company would put a product on

That article still doesn't address the issue of what would happen if the car is
left in storage for a few months without being charged- a very common scenario.

I'm confused. I know it's not good to discharge lead-acid batteries or even

Why are these lithium
As long as I know what I have to do, this would not dissuade me from getting a
Tesla. I'll pay an extra buck or two a day for airport parking that let's me

Of course, if you hooked your bricked Tesla to a dumb charger and it
caught on fire, maybe, the ins co would pay for that. The fire from a 3
cell 11.1v LiPo RC battery pack is spectacular, so a fire from a pack with
hundreds of times more capacity would result in very little recognizable

I was thinking about possibly purchasing the Toyota/Tesla RAV4 soon to be
available, but am reconsidering after reading this. The same situation is
possible with the Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries that I use in my
radio-controlled truck, and that was a shock to me at nearly $70.00 for a
new
6 volt batteries in a golf cart act the same way. Once they are dead, you need
to find the two primary Batteries and hook up a regular 12 volt charger to wake
