    The battery that does the driving is completely different from the battery that does the rest of the stuff in the car. So whilst it sounds funny, it’s actually correct.

    This is not a unique Tesla thing BTW, I think all electric cars work like that. The battery that does the driving has very different requirements, so keeping them separated is the best solution.

    What is pretty shit from Tesla is the regular battery dying all the time. That’s a pretty unique Tesla issue.

      The original telsa roadster used the main battery for everything, but it was proven a bad idea because any faults in the battery would leave the car completely dead with no lights or anything. Having a second reliable battery is simply good saftey redundancy.
