I haven't heard from John Wayland for awhile. Is he still involved with EV's?
Did he ever finish his Honda Insight conversion?

Count my wife among one of these. The first thing she said when she found out
my son was buying a spiffy new Model 3 was that she did not want Elon Musk
getting that money. It surprised me, but she has a real distaste for Elon.
Personally I do not like the fact that Tesla seems to think they still own the
car, even after they have sold it to you.
I'm happy for now with my 2016 eGolf that I recently acquired. It is so much
better then anything I ever built myself and I would have to say better then
any homebrew EVs I have been around, and I live 17 miles from my good friend
John Wayland, so I have been around a lot of well done DIY EVs. I'm totally
done with DIY conversions. By the time I am ready for my next OEM EV purchase
I would expect there to be a much wider variety for me to chose from. For that
I owe Tesla and Elon a debt of gratitude :)
