http://gas2.org/2015/09/02/toyota-corolla-p85d-d/ Toyota Corolla P85D :D September 2nd, 2015 by Zachary Shahan [image http://gas2.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Toyota-Corolla-P85D.jpg (Tesla-S P85D emblem/decal on the back of a TMC Corolla ice) ] It seems like everyone and their mother want a Tesla P85D or P90D now. Maybe I just hang out too much on Tesla and EV forums and sites, but it’s clear there are thousands if not millions of people who have caught Tesla fever. As a fun reflection of this, I share with you the Toyota Corolla P85D: Sadly, that’s probably an indication that someone had their P85D decal stolen, and one user on the TMC forum thread [ http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/52701-Owners-putting-a-higher-trim-badge-on-is-one-thing-but-this-is-pretty-funny ] where I found this noted that his decal was stolen. But… it’s still quite funny, no? With Toyota’s absurd (or not so absurd) reluctance to get into the electric vehicle game, it will likely be a long time before you can get a Toyota with anywhere near the performance of a P85D, but here’s to hoping. This comment from “Paul” [ http://cleantechnica.com/2015/07/23/is-this-why-toyota-is-the-1-plug-in-electric-car-laggard/#comment-2154970091 ] on one of those stories linked above captures the general Toyota story well enough, imho: “Toyota seem to have adopted their own ludicrous mode when it comes to EVs. They led the way with hybrids, then ignored their own customers who were showing the way as independent companies sprang up for converting the Prius to a plug-in. They were late to the party and are only now starting to build a plug-in with useful range.” [© gas2.org] ... https://google.com/search?q=stolen+hood+ornament stolen hood ornament For EVLN posts use: http://evdl.org/evln/ {brucedp.150m.com} -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Stolen-Tesla-S-P85D-emblem-decal-stealing-hood-ornaments-tp4677477.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
