Saw one on the road yesterday -- it is actually pretty attractive in person.

Now we're talking, electric VW Thing.

Tesla

Somebody around here has a Tesla S I've spotted a couple of times. Seems fast.

The Tesla 3 sure seems impressive.  However, Tesla's weakness is in where do you get it serviced when something goes wrong?

Right now I'd buy a Chevy Bolt before I'd buy a Tesla because I have no shortage of Chevy dealers for service. Ditto Nissan Leaf.

I will say I'm impressed after reading up on the top EV's, they are much further along than I thought.

>electric VW Thing.

I had a couple of Things stashed in the shed. Sold 1, other needs to go.

You'd better wait until the E-Thing everything goes level 5 autonomous as these old VWs had all the crash protection of a paper bag.

And vintage VWs remind me, what about A/C & HEAT in e-cars?  Cabin comfort is a big drain on power.  I'm sure guessing the high-end vehics like Tesla have decent HVAC, but -like the air-cooleds of yore- is it going to be a problem with e-cars?

HVAC

It's going to be tricky.  Montana, Wyoming, N Dakota in the winter. Plus add in the low friction tires.

Also the SW for AC.  Except the SW can take some power advantage with solar.

Breaking.

Republican tax reform bill would eliminate electric car subsidy.
