Unsafe for the driver and the safety crew trying to help. Plus how many people have dropped a wrench on the battery when working? I have. Put it in the trunk and make it safer for the drivers,mechanics,tech inspectors during teardowns. Just my 2 cents.
Ken, first I 'm glad you are on the road to recovery. How were your suggestions received by Bruce? I would hope that all of those suggestions would be adopted
