I will buy a Tesla when WQ buys one. If they come out with one than can outperform a 1997 4Runner.
I am surprised Toyota hasn’t a EV. But they did come out with a all wheel drive Prius. 5” ground clearance too low though.

I didn’t want to own a cellphone back in 2000. It took me 3 years to own one… :rofl:

I had a cell phone in the 80s. 90cents a minute peak hrs. Carried it around like a suitcase. Basically a car phone. Used it on my boat too. It was a status symbol.

Tesla is also just a status symbol today. See… :grin:

I don’t care about status symbols anymore. Back then it could get you action. Can still buy one.

Whoa it’s not cheap!!! :rofl:

This was the good old days

Damn it. Only if I had bought some apple stocks back in 1984. I had no clue… :rofl:

Current conditions at Carson Pass
Definitely need a serious snow car this year in Tahoe

Damn. What happened to global warming when you needed it :rofl:

Beautiful Tahoe. Last week.
Been raining a bit some snow melt now.
But 4’ on the ground at lake level.

German Car Industry to Invest $45 Billion in Electric Vehicles

European electric rates are two to six times US rates. They have shortage of power generation. Where is all the new power coming from.? Nuclear, wind, solar? My guess is they will need more natural gas from Russia. Pretty stupid.
Replace gasoline from anywhere to natural gas from a dangerous source.
35 US cents per KWH vs 6 cents in Indiana
