Another error on the part of the blogger is the claim that if the cars discharge fully, the battery
packs will be damaged. This is blatantly false. The battery management system of the Tesla
Roadster keeps the battery from being discharged to a damagingly low state of charge under normal
driving conditions. It's true that a full discharge to zero percent state of charge can potentially be
damaging to a battery. However the battery management system of the Roadster won't allow the
car to reach that low level of charge.
