I visited the Tesla showroom
I visited the Tesla showroom in DC back in october 2011. The representatives made mention at that time regarding the risk of destroying the battery if left uncharged for several weeks. They were honest, straight forward and stressed the importance of keeping the battery charged. So I had to weight the unlikely circumstance of leaving a clean emission electric car uncharged for several weeks vs. 5 dollar per gallon and up for emission generating gasoline. Shortly after I became reservation # 6,116. This is pure propaganda and if this is the best the oil producers can come up with then I feel even better about my pending purchase.
