15. tesla roadster bricking

In electronics, "bricking" means to make a gadget so that it can no longer be used for its intended reason. More than one Tesla Roadster owner has said recently that the vehicle can grow to be a "brick" if simply left unplugged. Tesla, however, states the owners are at fault, not the automaker.http://www.cardealexpert.com/news-information/auto-news/tesla-bricked-roadsters/http://www.cardealexpert.com/news-information/auto-news/tesla-bricked-roadsters/"
