Dude, did you even read the article? The temp tranny is NOT a "bad" transmission. Just a tranny that doesn't even have to deal with how to swap from first to second while full torque is still coming from the engine by not having another gear to swap to.
well actually we are still deciding what to do because tesla really doesnt know if the transmission even if held in 1st gear will survive like they claim... i want to know when a service center is going to be placed around my location that way if the car does break down it is easy to fix
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
my dad has #47 in the signature 100 but should he take the one with a bad transmission or wait for them to fix the problem
Um, take it (duh)!
Just cancel any drag races with Ferraris and Porsches that you have scheduled. :-)
i smell something.
bullshit, possibly?

if his dad was actually getting the car, he wouldnt have to read the article. he would know more than anyone on the internet. he is full of crap

Looks like Steven is trolling, judging from his other comments: http://www.blogsmith.com/profile/1020618/
Steven, if your dad is really that worried about the Tesla breaking down, tell him to buy a Lexus instead, and let someone else be a pioneer.
All im saying is that Tesla seems to be as reliable as the bush administration... so anything can happen
