Nevertheless, I would be pretty happy owning that Sedan if I did not live in the middle of nowhere with zero chargers in sight within 25 miles. I did consider getting a charger installed at my house but have not made the leap yet. We do not have a garage, just a carport so that would be an outdoor charger. Ideally, we should get a garage build..

I liked the movie Gattaca a lot, and I wondered back then if electric car makers would be able to do more daring designs. Hope they put Tesla out of business!

Remember when hi def flat screen TVs were $4000.00? Price should come down in a few years.

Happy to post it. I shouldn't judge, but these vehicles are loaded with tech. Not sure if it would be the right move for someone who can't get an image to show up on the DU.
