    Here are the charging options:
    http://www.teslamotors.com/goelectric/charging

    I assume if one has 84000€+VAT to buy a sports car, then then they can manage to upgrade their electric cabling.

    I'm from Hungary, and the standard connection you can get from the power company is 230V 32A, there is a one-time upgrade fee per amps over that.
    Our house has 400V 3*25A three phase (because my father used to have a big-ass lathe). It can supply about 17320W of power. If I had a Roadster I could charge it and have a whole 520 Watts left :D

    I hate it when I go to a movie or video game website and I get a "Please select your birth date from the drop-down list below."

    Maybe they didn't feel the need to take the phone apart, remove warranty stickers and mess with the cards that according to Microsoft are only to be touched by OEMs.

    In addition:

    - Practically unlimited number of simultaneous installs on different machines unlike some other kinds of DRM
    - Syncing of savegames between these installs
    - Common updater
    - Automatic driver updates for ATI/AMD video cards

    The only con that I can think of is what happens if valve goes belly up and takes steam with it? Suddenly I can't play any of my games that I paid for. I don't think it's likely to happen but it's a concern.

    Well it's not like Steam DRM is unbeatable. Cracked versions of Steam games are up on P2P sites within hours after the release. ...or so I've been told. *khm*
