Don’t kid yourself lots of cars already have many of the features. GPS tracking, drive recorders, remote shutoff etc. As far as fixing salvaged vehicles well, it’s slightly different than a gasoline vehicle in determining if it’s safe for the road. It’s understandable that they would want to in

Yeah, I get most of that. When the roadster came out, he promised his “affordable” car within a few years. I expected about $30-35k. But it is what it is. As far as the electronics, I think that you’re seeing the future. Both my Mirai and Clarity collect tons of data, though there is nothing (t

If cost is the only thing stopping you, I would seriously try running the numbers, and be sure that you take into accounts any tax credits, local or state rebates, and regional trade-in programs. Not to mention, if you don’t already have an EV, monthly fuel savings. And consider a lease (if Tesl

Why not buy a Tesla? I wondered the same thing. Of course they are very expensive. Even the $35,000 "affordable" Model costs more than $35,000 so far. I'm still waiting. BobK On Sun, Oct 7, 2018, 4:01 PM George E Swartz via EV wrote: > David, > > I am curious, what are the main reasons you would

3,000 is a lot to me! They can be purchased for less than 46000 depending upon the options chosen. My point was that at least one fact was wrong calling into question everything he said. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 6, 2018, at 11:03 PM, EVDL Administrator via EV > wrote: > >> On 6 Oct 2018
