I don’t know of anyone who has bought this overpriced car that has a range of about 200 miles, needs almost a whole day to recharge and becomes worthless if the battery runs out. Huge taxpayer incentives to wealthy people who buy a $100,000 car is also a factor. I’m paying taxes to support every rich guy who buys one.
This is a good article on what happens if your Tesla battery runs down.

There is a simple solution tot he ‘bricking’ problem: a sensor which casues a complete disconnet of the car from the battery if the charge level gets to a preset ‘low’; the sensor would also cause, at the preset low, the drive train to completely disconnect from the systems as soon as the vehicle reached zero motion.
