Tesla Model S has an IMS Bearing!

I just read the article and learned a couple of things.

Tesla's have an 8 year warranty. Very cool

"The reliability engineer was careful to emphasize that the results were only valid if the data was correct,"

It appears that Tesla has the problem handled and Elon and company are taking care of business. Good on them.

There are +/- 10 of them running around locally. Sharp, solid looking cars.

Read the article completely and the projections are based on self selected data contributed by owners of very early versions of their first and second models who heard of the collection. Think how skewed a similar data collection effort would be from '01-'04 Boxster owners.

I'm no fan of Tesla because of their prices, current fueling infrastructure, etc. But the initial headline was very misleading. And their warranty treatment of the cars and owners contrasts sharply with those from the VW corporation.

A more interesting article is in the January edition of Car and Driver addresses concerns about product delays, service availability and thus the long term viability of the company..

How else would they get all the clicks they need?
