I appreciate the humor, but I do think that Elon is smart to absolutely limit Tesla’s liability with these cars.
This article highlights the fact that recharging is controlled, not just be the car, but by the Tesla charging station, as well. No matter what you or the car may “think”, Tesla may be able to limit dangerous amounts of electricity flowing into it.
People may not want to think about it, but I am sure that every Tesla sold comes with 2 clocks - one in the car and one at Tesla. When the clock times out, Supercharging is over and so is the warranty.
It is human nature to always want to get “one more charge” out of a rechargeable battery.
Uh-Oh, a Class-Action Lawsuit Claims Tesla Is Speeding Up Odometers to Avoid Warranties
