If you don't do the basic, fundamental things to maintain your vehicle, it will no longer work.
If you are, in fact, unable to grasp that, then you will pay the cost.
How is this even a thing?
- burgreblast 15y agoUm, because maintaining a gas/diesel/lpg vehicle (or a laptop) doesn't include keeping it continuously fueled up at the risk of $30K damage. You don't keep your laptop or phone charged on penalty of battery replacement, so why pretend that you're not surprised at the Tesla result?
- revelation 15y agoIf you completely discharge a battery, it will take damage. Also, quite obviously, the batteries used in the Tesla are the same kind used in your laptop or phone, just a vastly greater number of them. So yes, maintaining a laptop means keeping it charged. (How do people not know this? Battery 101)
- ghaff 15y agoRaises hand. I did know that it's not good for the life of a battery to continuously deep discharge it. (Though I've seen so much different advice over the years about various battery technologies that someone might easily think it was better for batteries to run them down now and then, a belief that had at least some relevance to NiCads.) However, I confess to not knowing that running down, say, a laptop and then letting it sit uncharged for a long period was a very bad thing.
