Yet another article that takes the original Bricking story to task without actually refuting any of it. So what if it's an angry owner if it's true?
Congrats to them for posting the owners manual, it's pretty clear keeping the cell charged is important, but the true risk doesn't get the treatment it's deserved. The fact that this car can essentially total itself from sitting idle for 2 months deserves more than some mentions in a manual, how about initials of the buyer where he has been explained the risks and the 40k price tag to correct the mistake?
Also, the letter mentions the pre-500 models not having the notification system, it's possible the pre-500 manuals didn't have all of this wording either.
