I can agree with you that buying a car with new technology from a new manufacturer does require a leap of faith. But if the definition of negligence has been stretched to simply letting it sit for a couple of months, that's so far beyond what even an exotic owner expects that it has to be on the manufacturer to make…

Matt - what does Toyota have to say about this? Is the battery for the RAV4 EV going to have this problem, too?

And what the fuck is it with Gawker's crappy code eating line breaks?

Quick: How many other cars made in the last 120 years will require a massive overhaul if you park it for two months and walk away?

Is this what Musk meant when he said he wanted to be the Steve Jobs of the car business?

If it was that simple, I'm sure Tesla would have done it. But they haven't, so...

Not to get all elitist and book learnin' on the seller, but if the back axle is driven that would make it 10x10.

Lots of problems with that line of reasoning from SGK.

Why would you choose these over a set of Paradigm's amazing Mini Monitors at about half the price?

Remember he also said the Ford Granada he learned to drive in was the worst car Detroit ever built. I think he's one El Camino remark away from being the first Jalop president.
