    drivetrain malfunction

    so if the 'drivetrain' doesn't turn the generator then there's no charge to the high voltage battery which could lead to a dead car? damm. so I gotta get it fixed. I was hoping that I could bypass the REx and just live off the electric battery.

    drivetrain malfunction

    Also the more I'm researching ... it seems like I can still drive the car just not when the Extender kicks in... if the drivetrain fails because that is failing on the engine part not the electric battery.. or am I mistaken?
