Message	would make it vulnerable. -No alarm -No way to start the vehicle -No way to alert via AT&T mobile network/GPS etc, etc. On top of this problem, as many mention, these batteries aren't "single units", just as cell, laptop batteries, etc, etc. Batteries have "cells" which are strung together to make the single unit. What do cells matter? When batteries fail they don't do it all at once, usually cells fail individually. When my Macbook Pro had a battery problem it was that some cells failed. How is that a problem? When my Macbook Pro would reach ~40% it would literally die, without warning. The OS is supposed to shutdown gracefully before that happens right? It would have, but the cells that failed weren't the last in the pack. The same can be true for the Tesla, the management system may not know a cell is unhealthy and not account for it, still causing failure. There really is alot going on with this, and hell, over at Slashdot people are claiming this can't even be true. We'll see where it all goes.
