And it looks like the first Tesla Lemon-Law suit has been filed: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2014/04/07/tesla-lemon-law/7439547/
From CNN-Money website Apr 26, 2013:
Tesla offers idiot-proof battery warranty
Tesla Motors is offering a new "no fault" warranty on the batteries in its Model S sedans in a bid to entice more buyers to try its all-electric luxury car.
The battery is covered even if an owner fails to follow charging guidelines laid out in the owners' manual. "Any product that needs a manual to work is broken," Musk said.
The only cases in which Tesla (TSLA) would not honor a battery warranty would be a case in which a customer deliberately attempted to damage or destroy the battery, he said.
"If you take a blow-torch to the battery pack or blow it up or use it for target practice" the warranty would be voided, Musk said. Also, of course Tesla would not cover battery damage resulting from a crash. Car insurance will have to pay for that.
I still can't find an example of Musk whining about anything though.
Fair enough, and Rush Limbaugh was all over it last year.It means that you cannot let a Tesla car completely discharge, because if it does, then the battery is shot. You can't even roll the car. Battery replacement runs 32 to 40K. I'm glad Tesla will now cover it, but they didn't at first, and some say went to great lengths to hide this pretty significant design flaw.
Granted if you're not able to get to a station you might be in some deep doodoo. But you'd only need to hold 'em off for a couple of hours. Still, I can think of other stuff I'd rather do for a couple of hours.So if we do have a zombie apocolpyse, in no time flat you will have a Tesla brick. Unless of course you are able to find a solar charging station, and then wait for 12 hours and hold off the zombies.
Fair enough, good citation. Didn't know he'd named Christie and will leave it at that.If you listen to Musk talk about his inability to sell directly in numerous states, and how his desire to sell direct conflicts with the dealer mafia, and how he wants his mafia to give him a carveout because he doesn't want to pay the skim, that sounds like whining. Bringing Christie and his little bridge dust up into the arguement is a serious tell at who he's playing to.
Hallelujah!...nothing like a good o' revival meetin', fraught with ludicrousness to perk things up around here.:glee:
Had me worried that, this forum was taking a downward slide into the depths of distillation.:concern:
Thanks guys!
So that makes me an evil spoilsport when someone crosses The Line and this thread gets Moderated?
But all this zombie apocalypse and warranty talk makes me wonder about Guild's lifetime warranty? When I fail to outrun them because Pascal has a 'Vette (remember you don't have to run faster than a zombie, just faster that the slowest person in the crowd) and "cross over" will they still honor the warranty as long as there is enough muscle left to make a bar chord?
I like that, Terry. It has a certain ring to it. :tranquillity:a downward slide into the depths of distillation.:
One must remember that "Lifetime" works two ways, it means the manufacturer's lifetime as well.But all this zombie apocalypse and warranty talk makes me wonder about Guild's lifetime warranty? ....will they still honor the warranty as long as there is enough muscle left to make a bar chord?
Yeah despite the 'shock value" of the statement a good case could be made for that because of the kerosene thing, as you mentioned. (For those who didn't know it basically replaced whale oil as a lamp fuel)John Rockefeller and Standard Oil saved the world's whale population from extinction.
Yeah basically correct. Kerosene did still dominate home lighting at the time.I think John D make his claim in kerosene used to light homes. He moved on to gasoline later, and not sure how much he was into natural gas.
Well, looks like this one might be finally yawnin' itself out, but thanks!

The Milan was an "unplanned" purchase after the beloved T-Bird SuperCoupe was t-boned....so how did it happen?.... ya just got up one morning and thought: "I gotta to git me a Milan..." ? :laughing:
I hear the CTS is great. So are beemers but maintenance on German cars is highway robbery. (Price tags aren't bad either...)
