    Attention to details is important in all aspects of life. I feel like some of this has been lost lately in recent cars. The focus at Ferrari seems to be shifting more towards "how can we build more cars", as opposed to "how can we build better cars".

    The 458 is a really great car across the board.

    Had my first service and Ferrari changed the battery. All going good.

    Last night I saw something for the first time. The tender had both the last 2 green LED's lit.

    Ever since day one when I received the car never has the second green LED been lit.

    To me that suggests that the battery already had issues. Might be due to the time it goes out the factory and transported the car isn't on the tender. Battery drains somewhat and a cell or two are damaged
