There are other used EVs worth purchasing. I just bought a 2016 VW
E-Golf for my commute. SOOOO much nicer than my homebuilt EV - has
airbags, seriously nice stereo, power steering and brakes, AND WORKING
AIRCON!
OK, sorry about the caps there, but hey, working aircon in an EV is a
wonder to behold.
EV-grin is now restored.
Cheers, Peter

I read a few posts but not the whole thread, but had to say less than 2 cents

My son and I were bored out of our minds at a mall in San Diego, California,
waiting for several hours for the wife and daughter who were in the Apple
store........
We eventually found a Tesla store and googled over the Tesla Model X.... the
fit and finish...... this model had six seats, the middle two slid forward to
easily enter the rear most 2 seats......... gull wing doors for the
passengers............ front trunk that maybe would hold two shoe
boxes......... price unknown - we did not ask. I see Tesla's on the freeway and
you can tell the build quality looking from the next lane over at 70 miles per
hour and I have old eyes.
Do I wish they were affordable? Yes. Are they affordable to me? No. Are they
quality? Cutting edge? Our home town mall half way between San Diego and Tucson
Arizona has a Tesla charging station. I bet there are no local Teslas here.
When I get good and ready to buy an Electric car I will get a used Nissan Leaf
because of my price range. However, Tesla has made a great stand for Electric
Vehicles. They did not turn their back on them like Chevrolet with the EV1.
Bob Rice would like the Tesla, but he would have some self-invented words to
describe the price, the sheer number of batteries, the computer system not
repairable by owners, the sales lot being inside a mall, the chargers not
available to the public, the sheeple who buy them (sorry for that).
Make it a battery powered electric day!
Alan
