$40k for new batteries is an expensive lesson to learn. What I take from this is that the main problem with electric vehicles is education. Consumers just don't fully understand what they are and how they are different from a gasoline-burning car. When I buy a new car, I go through the manual. I went through my Nissan LEAF's manual twice and have a .pdf copy on my mobile devices for quick access. So I am aware of long-term storage precautions. I'm sure that Tesla will have a remedy for battery/car long-term storage in the newer models because they don't want to babysit every one of their cars when mass production and selling begins. Right Tesla?
