Just to be clear, the alleged design flaw has nothing to do with the size of the gasoline tank; the alleged flaw is that the power output of the REx generator is insufficient to prevent the battery pack's charge level from dropping below 2% under certain conditions. This results in the motor's power output being reduced in software to prevent the battery pack's charge level from dropping to 0% and to allow the REx generator an opportunity to increase the charge level so that normal performance would return.The confusion among the plaintiff's occurred because the gasoline tank was not empty yet the electric motor power was reduced thus reducing the speed at which the car could travel unlike what would occur in a normal ICE vehicle. The "fuel gauge" that they weren't monitoring closely enough was the battery pack's charge level.I, as a U.S. citizen who resides half of each year in Sweden, feel that this lawsuit is yet another example of U.S. residents blaming others for something that residents of most other countries would take responsibility for themselves: learning how their cars function so that they could avoid or be prepared for a loss of power that is totally predictable by merely paying attention to the battery pack's charge level. I hope but doubt that this lawsuit will be dismissed as frivolous.
