FYI, your new P-car is probably sitting in Germany right now with one of these on the dashboard. European car factories supposedly put one on each car as it rolls off the assembly line to keep the battery charged while it sits, and they are removed at the destination port for return to the factory as cars are being loaded up for transport to the selling dealerships.....

If that happened I would be so !!!! It's already bad enough that it will have been a year by the time it's in my possession. I started this process last April.
