Their critical product is their battery technology. It is second to none, in a business where the battery is everything.

As to the article proper: it seems to me that running down your car is a pretty simple problem to engineer away.

So, on the one hand you say that their battery technology is in advance of everyone else... and on the other hand, you say that these fine engineering minds... haven't been able to come up with a 'pretty simple' solution yet.

That doesn't necessarily mean their technology isn't second to none. Say, I built a instantaneous teleportation device but it sucks because I haven't figured out a simple solution of how to jump more than one person at a time.
